Shops losing money
 

Why are car audio shops not targeting the DIY home theater crowd? I see people on AVS forum doing group buys for flat pack kits and others order complete custom built cabinets. Building sub woofer boxes and speaker cabinets should be right up a car audio shops ally and it should cost less because there would be no shipping.

We have the ability to build custom enclosures for home, boat and car audio. We don't really have enough people coming in for the home stuff. If they're lining up, send them our way! LOL...

I have found that in general, a lot of shops tend to avoid doing things that are not in their "norm" of operations. Thus, many customers neglect to inquire whether or not these services can be performed.

Perhaps if you promoted it along with all your other services, you business would excel more so than it already is. Just my 7 cents...

Promote promote promote... for sure.

Point taken! We should really promote this more! :)
And so should other sponsors here.

Can anyone give an estimate on how much it would cost to build this box?

A box like that in MDF would run about the $500 mark. More if you wanted it made out of birch.

If you are serious about making this box PM me and I can price it out for you! I can CNC this box up for you in no time and either create a flat pack or a fully assembled box.
