Hello everyone, I've got a question. What is the going price on a fiberglass box for 3 `12" subwoofers. Please let me know the price for the box carpeted, for the box painted, and for the box in vinyl. So that would be 3 seperate prices. All your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

       J. Alicea

bit of a random question really mate, depends on size, materials, what car, molded or MDF base.

Carpet will be the cheapest, then vinyl, then paint, as there is so much more work involved to get a quality paint job.

Do you have any pics of what you are looking for?

Well I will actually be building it for someone else and don't know what to charge. The box will be an mdf base with a fiberglass face for the 3 12's. They will be seperately enclosed inside of the enclosure and will be getting 1 cubic foot of air space each. This box will be approximately 40 to 42 inches wide. This will be going into a Cadillac Deville. Maybe thinking of doing something like this http://www.originalcustoms.com/images/audio/pic_triple_12.jpg and also might even fiberglass an amp rack into it. Hope this helps some. Thanks for all of the help.

Don't even give him the option to have it in vinyl if there are alot of curves.

id say around 400 in carpet, 500 in vinyl, 600 paint. Depends how many hours, how much materials cost etc.

Thats just a guess from what you are saying, here in ireland we would charge around that sort of figure for a custom box like that.

if you dont know much about f/g you cant charge $40 an hour. professionals get between $30-80 an hour (depending on what they are doing and where they are doign it). but you (and i) ar amatures and cant get professional prices because we probably arent delivering professional results. once you've done a few freebies (just the cost of materials maybe a little more) for your friends and you get really good, then you can charge the big $$$. thats my $.02. ~Ryan

Well I can tell he's not a pro because he is asking how much he should charge. If he were a pro, and he had to ask us this, then he must have a hard time making money.

Thanks Dyson, and actually oonikwhatevadaphuck and blue truck I have been doing this for a couple of years but the problem is that for the past couple of years and currently I am in Germany which I don't know anything about their pricing here and haven't been in the states for so long I don't know what the prices of materials and what not are going for there and here in Germany I have to buy stuff from German companies that are on the internet. And actually I don't have a hard time making money at all, but, most guys and gals that are in the military only want MDF boxes with plain carpet and what ever interior speakers they already have. Not too many people here looking to pimp their rides out or looking for just a nice clean install because the cost of shipping your car back to the states is ridiculous. Then the price to convert the car beck to U.S. Specs is $3,000 by itself. So you tell me would it be worth it to have a couple thousand dollars invested into a car whose blue book value isn't even as high as shipping it would be? Next time you guys might want to ask someone something before you assume stuff because like most of us know when you assume things you make an A.S.S. out of yourself. Thanks for giving me a couple comments though on my post. Going Price -- posted image.
