Heres the deal. Your going to spend $20 on a sheet of MDF. Your going to charge lets say .50$ for each cut. You have six pieces minimum with at least three cuts. $9 for cuts. Your up at 30 bucks as a buyer, not shipped. I think those guesses I gave are pretty generous, hence being pretty exspensive and one cutting wood themselves.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea, and really actually hope I can use it. It's gonna be all in the price factor here...
Good idea though.
Well, I don't think that you can see the forest through all the trees in this case. Because I can tell you are focussing more on cheap prices rather then quality product.... Where do you actually get that these days? Really? I am not soliciting the highest quality cuts and material for an arm and a leg, but I am also not charging .50 per cut. YOu would only get what you pay for. I am talking about purchasing my own CNC router that would bust out your entire design out of an entire sheet of MDF in just five minutes with PERFECT results.... I also found a compact striebig for $16,000 that would allow me to deal with my scraps and left overs so that I can use them effectively as useable parts for designs... The designs can be boxes, ported, sealed, bandpass, folded horn, it can be amp racks, it can be subwoofer baffle rings.... it could be what ever you want... only a desing? fine buy the design for 5 bucks... if you want some rings... buy them for $10 per set of two maybe 13 bucks for a set of three.. Square ones for solobarics.... round ones with flush mount rings rounded over for 10 bucks per piece... put a ring of acrylic plastic sand blasted inbetween the flush mount ring and the flange ring and throw in some LED's to illuminate arround the sub.. do the same for amp racks... If you can think it I will be able to cut it out perfectly for you for a very very reasonable cost... Where else can we get this that specializes in this and has stuff allready in the computer to tell the machine to pump out? Where else can you go that has a huge database of designs to choose from? Where else can you go that you can do business with, and get a kickback from the business that the company gets? If you submit your designs, you can get a 10% commission on each sale of the design of the entire cost... If it is a cut sale you would get about $2.00 to $7.00 per sale... To have the box completely built and finished, you could bank in at close to $20.00 every time one of your designs sells... Have enough on the site, and maximize your earning potential. There are places that can do the cuts, but this would be a place where people could go specifically for car audio information, tutorials, events, and product source links. Methods of wood working and aplying it to car audio techniques... YOu could go to the web site and get just exactly what you want ... and it can be sooo easy. I would want you to get all of the quality out of my product that you would ever want, while I am still able to get my equipment started on paying it's self off to make its money back time after time. It's called business, and I am ready to start taking this all on... I just landed an 800 sq ft. shop that is 25 feet tall inside, that I can build a loft for office space and storage... I have more then enough room to have my entire shop set up with storage space, shipping area, cnc router space, striebig space, MDF inventory space, work table space, clamping and finishing space.... I am getting completely set up to provide a revolutionary way to purchase subwoofer enclosures, designs, amp racks, rings... etc... etc.......
Imagine sitting in your living room and the door bell rings... Its the UPS Guy.. he has your box cuts... you bust open the box, take out and inspect your pieces get the glue, get the clamps and the drill, and screws... You assemble while you watch the sapranos, that night you mount your woofers in the box and install it in your ride... YOu are now bumpin your subs in the box you designed and built your self.. Complete DIY service for car audio....
