So I was thinking at work...

.70 is 2% of 35.00. 7.00 is 20% of 35.00

my bad.... I would guess 10% would be sufficient? So the amount a designer could possibly make is determined by the amount of designs he/she posts' up... Also, it could also be effected by how much the designer drove his business to the site. If the designer has multiple designs, and the designs are popular, I would make a separate page for that designer with his/her designs. It would then essentially be a small business in a sense for the designer... Once the design is submitted, it is up for use... no dimensions are released of course, just the drawings/ pictures/ specs... So the design is sold time after time after time... The business doe not necessarily have to only provide cut pieces, but can provide designs only over pdf email, for a predetermined rate given by the designer... Allot of this business' success is determined by the success of the designers in other words, and for that, is why I would give the designers incentives like I had mentioned. And as far as drilling a pilot hole into a rounded corner.... there are other methods of joining pieces of wood that I could provide the customer.... like a pocket hole from the other piece, rather then joining it the way he had in mind... for those who do not know what a pocket hole is.... it looks like this....

what if a subscription could be available to designer/ builders that makes it available for them to view full plans with dimensions of every design on the website... That way they can go to the site at anytime during their active subscription and get plans to build right at their finger tips... If that was an idea to add onto the business as a whole, what would everyone else think about having access to a huge data base of designs for a monthly fee? a data base that is constantly growing and that is all acredited to each and every individual designer? where the subscription would probably be made back from commission? where the designers can get their commission payments thru paypal, where the payments are paid out every month. Are there any builders out there that could benefit from "overflow" business? That I could refer customers wanting complete built boxes to you when I am too busy, or can't get to it soon enough? I look at it like one big comunity of box designers, and builders who all share ideas and techniques on a bulletin board set up on the site. too many ideas cramming into a web based business... I may be going over the deep end, developing this idea... but imo it could be really beneficial to allot of people.

^^ Good stuff man. I'm just as enthusiastic as you are.

 
well the first subjects are about to be sent out for the initial test run... We'll see how they are pleased... Results will be posted here... At $2.00 per board ft. it seems to maintain a margin to where each design can be cut and shipped to the builder who can then turn arround and assemble it/ carpet it within atleast two hours max and make a profit of aproximately $50.00 per average ported box... (Or save $50.00 instead of having one built by a pro to get the same results... or better... also you have theluxury of using your own design...

if you take each piece and calculate it by thicknes x width x length then devide by 144 you get the bd ft. then multiply that by $2.00 and that is the price of the box.. Oh yeah also $1.00 per hole cut out. and $.50 per edge rounded over. then it is only up to shipping. DHL is really reasonable.

the costs behind this operation is... wear and tear on router bits/ saw blades/ entire tool.... material.... shipping materials.... labor..... and every other expense that is involved with just running a business... i.e. taxes, insurance, shop rent etc etc.... after it is all said and done, it is much reasonable, and verry verry convenient... Especially thru paypal.

 
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....

All suggestions welcome.

Designers... hit me up, we'll discuss options and ideas.
