Well the figure of $6,000 for four Labs as stated by Aleks2 isn't that far off the mark. When I calculated the total cost for four labs to be built here in Bermuda the grand total came to $5,249.97 not including transport costs. Basically it broke down like this:
ten sheets of Baltic Birch purchased locally at a price of $175.00 per sheet came to $1,750.00
Alloy Plates purchased locally cost $25.00 per 12"X12" sheet total of $200.00
eight Lab 12 drivers from Parts Express cost $149.99 each for a total of $1,199.92
eight speaker bolt kit from Parts Express are $3.00 each total $24.00
eight Handles from Parts Express cost $4.25 each total of $34.00
sixty four corners from Parts Express cost $1.65 each total of $105.60
eight casters from Parts Express cost $5.75 each total of $46.00
four dual 1/4" terminal plates from Parts Express cost $1.50 each total $6.00
Total Shipping of all parts from Parts Express to Bermuda cost $350.00
Total duty paid on parts from Parts Express cost $359.45
Paint, speaker wire, screws, glue etc. purchased locally costs $175.00
the cost of a carpenter to build these since I don't have the time nor the tools to take on this job myself comes in at $250.00 per cabinet total of $1,000
add all those prices up & you see we're sitting on $5,249.97 & that doesn't include the price of hiring a truck to move them from the carpenters shop to my storage location so lets tag on an aditional $150.00 moving the final cost to $5,399.97. So you see the Labhorn subs are up in the price range of $1,349.99 each here in Bermuda. All in all though even at $1,349.99 each for what you're getting you can't get anything here locally unless second hand to compete against them in the price range so I can't really complain.
