TCAB problems...

i'm not saying his boxes dont get loud(not the only thing that matters to me when it comes to my music, but whateva). Its about the prices I've seen listed and the fact multiple people have had to wait nearly 2 months for a box that should be built in a day or two. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif.

There is much more to it than just bulding the boxes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Just to give you an idea... only approx 30% of the time is spent actually building the boxes... the rest is taking care of everything else.

Not much more to say than... once I get into a shop, things will be much much easier.

So you can't design/build a box maybe 1 and half boxes daily? 45 days to design and build the enclosure is just nuts man.

It is what it is man... I can only do one thing at a time. I also have to build other boxes for testing purposes, have to fix the inevitable screwups, have to drive to drop off boxes - and help install/meter them, have to drive to pick up PVC/wood and everything else.

There is also a mountain of emails that I have to go over everyday... both from quotes, responses to quotes, people who reply and don't put the original message in the reply so that I have to go back over and find the original email(s).

Its my fault for not having hte foresight to get this place a few months ago when I had the chance... once I'm settled in there I plan on hiring someone to help do random things that I have no business doing (I shouldnt have to spend 3-4 hours out of the day every few weeks to go and pick up a load of PVC).

I'll be 2 blocks from a lumber yard, have plenty of space for storage and working, and will have someone to help out... just hoping everything goes through.

On that note, I also have to spend time on forums to do stuff like this - lol.

They dont have the facilities.

They don't have the tools.

They don't have the time.

They aren't DIY people.

Their time is worth more than the time spent figuring out how to make abox, churning out a POS, rebuilding... and so on. A surprising number of customers are middle aged men who would rather be with their family than using their free time to make a speaker box.

Thats sort of like saying... why do people go to shops when they can just install everything themselves?

I guess everyone could go out and churn butter, grow veggies in a garden, and go hunt cows for lunch... but its alot easier to just go to the grocery store and save who knows how much time.

food is a nessesity and car audio is a hobby. lot of people spend time installing there gear but yet pay someone to make a box. i doubt a lot of the average best buy goers know about you or even this forum

You could hunt a cow if you wanted... it wouldnt be very difficult, but in thoery very possible //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Car Audio is a hobby, but its also something I would rather pay for at times. It isn't worth the time nor effort for a person like myself to build a box when I have the resources and Team Pwnage at my disposal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif
