[QUOTE="Mike Caldwell, post: 18370, member: 170"] Re: The ethics of cabinet copying Depending on the type and condition of the ''second hand'' trap boxes it could be about the same. My double 12 x 2 inch cabinets cost me about $850 in materials to build, that was all new components except the horns. Loaded with B&C 12PE32 speakers, EV ND6x drivers and JBL 2385 horns. The last pair I built came in under that because I scored some great deals on components. To buy a comparable new EV QRX or JBL SRX cabinet there about twice that cost. I just finished a pair of single 15 x 2 inch trap cabinets, B&C, EV, JBL for well under the cost of comparable offerings. To be honest I did not factor in my time building them in the cost. Normally I do major building projects during my slower time like late December thru now! At last count I still had all of my appendages :D [/QUOTE]
