I have been wondering this myself, what type of formula do youy usually use to determine how much a project is worth?

It really depends. For some basic kick's for mid's and tweets would be around $250. A full custom fiberglass trunk could easily go into the thousands in labor alone. Hell, the half assed box I have in my trunk would go for over $800 in labor alone.

I would charge the person supply costs for the project plus labor costs per hour. I am not a professional, but hope to be one day... -------------

after a while you will know an approximate time it will take to complete. you will also know what you like to use as far as materials.
you need to figure out exactly( down to how it will mount, and what screws you will use) to give an accurate quote. the more details you think of before hand, the less surprises you will have when you are doing it. also you want to have a good idea of the amount of sand paper and other disposable supplies you will use on the project. disposable supplies, mistakes, and not planning, are the most common reasons for loss of profit.
the general rate for custom work is between 45 and 100 per hour, depending on your reputation and knowledge.

i learned how to fiberglass thru this board and another tutorial site. its easy and itll save you alot of money to do it yourself. my two boxes wont cost more than 150 by the time im done. plus, once you know how to do it, the possiblities are endless as long as you have an imagination.
