A lot of the extra weight comes from the box. If you've got coilovers, raise them up and it'll help. If you have stock springs, you can buy replacements that are built to help with the extra weight. If you've got the woodworking tools, you can build a new box out of Birch plywood, which is around 1/2 the weight of MDF, which your box is made out of. It's also stronger, and technically louder when it comes to pure SPL.

What are you asking about? Weight? Or cost? Weight is 1/2 of MDF. A full sheet of MDF is ~98lbs whereas a full sheet of birch is ~50lbs. Cost for a full sheet of MDF ranges depending on where you're at, but around here is ~$28. A sheet of birch is anywhere from $40-$80, depending on the quality of wood.
