I'd really like to know who's charging only $50 to make a box. Your hourly charge is what? Seriously.
How much time does it take to research, design, cut, assemble, cover and load an enclosure?
$250 for a custom enclosure at a shop is a very fair price. I start @ $200 for sealed and $300 for a ported enclosure. And don't think we are making much money at that price. I'd rather do a few dozen HU's in that time instead.

Do it in your backyard and then tell me what your time is really worth.
