Your your drivers are more geared towards SPL and should easily outperform the Mach5 Audio drivers in that respect...while The Mach5 subs are likely better subs for SQ.
But the main reason I think your price point may be a tad high is because for the same money, someone could buy a pair of Mach5 drivers instead of one. I think in most cases, a pair of Mach5 drivers will have more displacement.
Regardless your intended price points are still very fair. They're just not priced crazy cheap like Mach5 is.

If you meant tuning in general then yes...kinda obvious there, lol.
Tuning in general is always important...it's the single most important factor in car audio.
However, I'm still not sure what your point was.
