I do, and I also paint them whichever color the box requires. It adds up fast and takes alot of time.

Basically, you pay a little more and get alot more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

@ Spkrman: i dont think that $190 is allot for an enclosure, i dont know your building technics or what ever, but a decent enclosure designer/ builder that will create a well built enclosure and values its time should not charge any less then $150 for a slot ported enclosure, yes aero ports do add to the cost.

one thing i have noticed on this forum. is that they expect to pay the same price for a custome built enclosure as they where for a prefab. and thats a hell no!.

localy i have sold my enclosures starting @ $140 for a single sub slot ported enclosure ~ $400 for a fiberglass enclosure and never had a complain.

but these are guys that dont spend theyr time looking for cheap as boxes on the internet. they go to the local shops and see what theyre getting and then come to me for a better enclosure for less even if its still close or over $200.

but then again i deal with mostly adults. people with a permanent job. not kids that work at macdonals. " not trying to offend anyone". but those are the ones that think time does not cost money. i charge for materials, shipping and handling, and what my time is worth, and when you build quality enclosures you expect to get payed for the quality provided.

if some one wants to compare enclosures but dont want to pay the price the other builder is charging, your best bet is to study up on the subject "enclosure building" and go at it, build a couple of enclosures using diffrent parameters and taking diffrent aspects of the enviroment of where the enclosure is going to be installed in into account . and compare what work best. youll find out that allot of the things people do on enclosure dont work as well as they say it does or at all. and that some techniqs that people overlook are the ones that do make an audible diffrence.

5:48am time to go to work.

actually i'm not a kid, and i don't work at mcdonalds, and their are other box builders on this forum, who can make very good enclosures cheaper. i know how to build them. i've built many before. i wanted to buy one of his, just so i can see what was so special about it, and see if it could out perform mine.

not old enough to realize the cost of skilled labor...
If I was an electrician or a plumber, "100" for 4-6 hours of labor would be a hell of a deal.

Tell a plumber you'll give em $100 for him to work @ your house for 6 hours, he will laugh in your face.

Kind of hard now a days to get by without water or electricity though. Kind of playing to a captive crowd . On the other hand people can live without a sub woofer enclosure in their car . Kind of comparing apples to elephants there aren't ya //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Now add on $60 for 4 4" ports... which cant be painted a custom color like the TCAB boxes can...

Oh yeah ? I beg too differ my brother. They can and have been with excellent results I might add . It's all in the prep, and using the proper materials my brother //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

190 is not good for a custom box.

but its alright for a custom box that YOU ARENT MAKING and getting shipped.

190 is not a "deal", but it is around the going rate. now when boxes are around 300, thats overpriced. but i guess you cant really be picky when you want his box and dont want to build your own can you?

Hate to say this Mark..........

But that is NOT a bad price //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Looks like everyone who understands what it is to make a living also understands that thats a pretty solid price for the box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Perhaps 140 + ship sounds better?

I've done the + ship quotes... and giving a shipped price works better.

Mark why not do slot ports for those who want to save a little?

The ~30+ crowd is amazed when they hear the shipped prices... lol. Same goes for those who bought a "custom" box at a shop and paid $300 for basically a fleabay prefab "built to spec". Its kinda funny, you get the 15 year old who's never paid a bill in his life who says the prices are outrageous... and then you get the more mature crowd who understands the actual costs, and they jump right on it. Of course, the market is mostly the younger crowd //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
