How much is my home-made speaker system worth?
Eamon
I made a really awesome home-made speaker system. They sound very good and the following prices were paid to make them:
-MDF $40
-2 Eminence midranges $90
-2 Boss Extreme 12inch Subwoofers $70
-2 Boss Tweeters $26
-200 Watt Amp $40
I haven't decided on a cost of labor yet, that's what I'm asking.
Thanks!

Not being a recognized designer, not much, in fact less than cost of materials. You do not have to be a manufacturer however, having been around this for a very long time I can tell you a lot of manufacturers are just as clueless as an inexperienced DIY'er when it comes to making speakers correctly. Additionally their hands tend to be tied by marketing departments dictating parameters that disable them from making better speakers. This is a limitation the DIY'er doesn't have to deal with.
When it comes to selling your creation, you need that marketing department. This is the area where you really lag the manufacturers. Despite the low end hardware you have used and despite the fact you appear to be inexperienced, it would not surprise me if your creation sounds better than most Bose products. Despite this, they make billions of dollars and you can't even recover your materials cost.
If you want to make money in the speaker business, it would pay to learn a little bit about designing them that's true but you could be the best most knowledgeable speaker designer on the planet and not make a dime unless you learn marketing. Bose is the proof you don't need to build good speakers to make money.
I do encourage you to continue your speaker building hobby. It is a lot of fun and with time and experience you will exceed the performance of any commercial system you could otherwise buy. I've been doing it for almost 40 years and there is no commercial speaker on the market I have the slightest interest in owning even if it were free. Just don't expect to make money unless you go the other direction... that is get minimal speaker building understanding and maximum marketing understanding.
