However to each their own  . If you add up the time it might take chasing all of the issues with a 1/2 price install/box it might turn out to be "cheaper" to do it right from the beginning 
Before I started in IT I spent +10yrs in high-end car stereo and electronics, I've seen a lot of bad installs (and done on the cheap), it's amazing what some people get away with. It is very hard finding a shop which one can trust installing a quality system (I had an offer from another stereo shop do the same install SIM did for half the price... Still went with SIM and no regrets).
Folks like Ken, SIM and others will stay behind their work and not bail if you run into problems/rattlers/issues.....
Just my 2cents,

Jan...I'm not arguing about it being a labor intensive project on any custom installs...it's far from it. I understand and respect that it DOES take time to do things right and I don't mind paying for it. I'm just saying that it should only take alot of time to do the FIRST enclosure, but that should only be on the FIRST one. After that, they should be able to crank it out pretty easily with all dimesions available and thus, should be able to lower the price that way (I'm sure they are much smarter than to "reinvent the wheel" on every enclosure they sell for the X5). And I do very much agree with you that "you get what you pay for". But I would have to want it really badly to spent my hard-earned $1000 on an empty sub enclosure...that's just my opinion
