[QUOTE="Spenser Hamilton, post: 91802, member: 2272"] Re: Subs, what to do if you lack excursion? I reckon they cost about $400-500 per cab to build, depending on how much investment you put into finishing them - I bought some rust paint on sale and just did multiple coats with a rough sanding between each coat. My biggest expense building the first cabinet was wood, all the local lumber yards stock 5-ply cabinet grade junk that looked like it would split if you looked at it the wrong way, so I had to improvise. The local HD sells 2x4 sheets of 13-ply birch, quality was good enough, the price was $37 per sheet putting my lumber expense at $150 for that cab. Drivers and hardware were relatively inexpensive as I was able to get most of it at dealer cost. Also, I'm in Canada so pricing might be different in your region. Edit: For the three I'm gearing up to build I special ordered some good quality 5x5 sheets of BB, now I'm stuck with a stack of speakers waiting for the order to come in :( [/QUOTE]
