I agree with you 100% in the U.S. the average is 150 feet and $3.00 a foot is $450.00. You have to excuse some of the people on here I was helping someone out with prices and every sub from a sub from sub crawled out but none told the footage price I will send you a price sheet from a couple of national company's. They think I am someone else too what a hoot I was told this is great for entertainment.
