I think the biggest cost is labor. Dumpster diving for speakers and then spending dozens of hours in high skilled labor to replace the insides is actually hilarious. I wonder how much he'd charge a client for a project this size? Probably many thousands of dollars. But I can't knock a man for having a hobby. Clearly they're optimizing for fun and nerd cred, not cost.
