When looking at earthquakes site I came accross this (15" model):
http://www.earthquakesound.com/supernova15.htm#chart
I was just wondering why it is so expensive ($3400)? It seems to be a 15" driver and a 15" SLAPS radiator powered by a 600 watt digi amp. Am i missing something huge here? The box is 21ish*17ish*17ish. People are selling it on ebay for $1600. That is the MKV-P. Does Earthquake have ridiculous MSRP's?
From prices I have seen on ebay and online retailers raw parts go as low as $200 for the 15" magma and mid $100's for the SLAPS Driver. So even on the high end say 300 and 175 you could make this subwoofer for:
sub and SLAPS: 475
plate amp: 350
materials: 50
at a high end price of 875.
on the low and probably more realistic side:
same order:
200+150=350
+300
+50
total $700.
So the main question is... Am I correct? Would $700 to make a supernova 15" be a good move (not that I want to) or for $700 could you make a sub that would kill this earthquake setup? Also, is it the same Magma driver used in car audio?
Thanks!

I for shoure, would used my money on this instead: http://www.svsound.com/products-sub-box-ultra2.cfm
To beat the Magna I would use two Acoustic Elegance AV15s.
