Hi there, We are still considering this possibility. Nope. Sorry... The IXL line is being filled out at this time. Pricing will be conservative compared with other brands - just like the MAW series. They are still in transit. That's about all the info I have on them at this time. I believe I have one unit left - a BASH300. Its yours for $125 shipped if you want it. Best, Mark

Nope. It will get pretty darn loud for you if you want though. Regarding amps, I cannot make many direct recommendations other than what I read from others. Some surprises that come to mind are Crunch and Autotek. Zapco perhaps? I guess it all depends on what you are willing to pay for, but look for something that can deliver up to 1100 watts into a 1 Ohm load. Best, Mark

Phase 1 Gluing and screwing the plywood together. The sides and rear baffle will be 1 1/4" thick; the front baffle will be 2". Despite the fact there are screws holding the two pieces together, they get a little help from yard implements. It will be a few days before I get enough glued together to begin Phase 2.

Oh snap is right! The gluing and screwing begins tomorrow.

We acquired the wood over the weekend - a mix of Birch and Fir Plywood - so with luck I should start construction in a couple of days. I have a mess called a garage to clean first...

They're getting closer - that's all I know right now..

For those of you who like to piece together your own driver, I am now stocking 4-spoke baskets (6-spoke for the 18"). Sizes from 8" to 18" available. Just thought I would post here to let you guys know. Best, Mark

Well, based on samples I can provide the following basic info. The rest will come once I measure random units from the batch: - 15mm Xmax - 700 watts RMS power handling - approx. Fs = 27Hz - 4 Ohm single voice coil If you want to get in on them early, contact Aaron and see about working something out with him. Best, Mark

I love you too I love boobs too Might be too far for you to drive

Its really not that difficult to import your "SQL" content in. Just check the Zen site to see if there is a script made up for your old software. If not, it's not difficult to make one yourself...

Yes, they would be more suitable for IB than the first gen MJ's, and folks used those in IB configs like crazy... Best, Mark

So did you break into Fi and steal all of Scott's trade secrets like I asked you to?

Pretty funny stuff I wish I had an imagination for words like that...

If memory serves, you are referring to Baltic Birch. Nice stuff - light, very strong, but expensive.

Looks like you've been Zenned... I agree, Zen has sure come a long way since the last time I looked at it. So much so, that I too switched to it...

Interesting topic actually. I did a fair bit of research on this awhile back, and found that laminates (read plywood) provide much more structural strength than MDF. Each laminate is glued together 90 degrees opposing each other, so you get strength in all directions and not just the two directions you see on the outer layers. MDF as it stands offers no directional strength whatsoever. Its use has proliferated the cabinet industry due to its ease of forming and finishing. And of course, it is cheaper than ply. So, to answer your question, plywood would be the choice to use. It would however, cost a few bucks extra. Best, Mark

Can't do that. Those who view the pictures would need to be wearing welding goggles. Since I can't guarantee that would happen, we can't expose these good people to such blinding torture..

Surprise! You can start by taking some pictures of your empty van to give folks an idea of the area we are working with. Then some shots of those nice amps you have. And of course, your head unit... I'll take care of the sub part..

Get 'er done!

Its not yet done Ryan, sorry...

They are up on the webstore - look under Categories - Speaker Parts. Best, Mark

I received quotes from my OEM on the SPL-15 this evening: $330.00 each This includes shipping within North America. You will never see anything like this anywhere else for a driver of this caliber. And I challenge anyone out there to match it... This is a "one time" price for those who wish to jump on this deal. Trust me, *if* they become mainstream, they will not sell for anywhere near this price. Here are the caveats to this deal: - Pre-order payment is $250.00 per driver. The $80 balance is a flat rate shipping fee from me to you. If you wish to pay for it in full, you are welcome to do so. - If I do not receive adequate pre-order requests/payments, the deal is off. If this happens, those who have sent their deposit to me will be refunded - If the pre-order goes through, all those who have partaken in on it will receive regular updates on the progress of the order. Here are the T/S parameters on the SPL-15: Fs = 39.91 Hz Re = 3.70 ohms[dc] Qt = 0.35 Qes = 0.39 Qms = 3.90 Mms = 250.57 grams Rms = 16.100405 kg/s Cms = 0.000063 m/N Vas = 50.79 liters Sd= 754.77 cm^2 Bl = 24.398737 Tm Lp(2.83V/1m) = 94.46 dB Pre-order Payment Methods You can send your payment via PayPal. My account is [email protected] Please make sure your full name and address is included. You can also pay via credit card through the webstore if you desire. Just click here. Thanks for looking. Mark : Edited for clarification of $80 balance fee, T/S parameters and payment information.

I am not certain at this time. The buildhouse cannot provide an ETA since they do not know how long the ship will take. If I hear anything though, I'll certainly let you know. m
