I can't figure out anomalies
Best ever deal for loudspeaker kits.
- Thread starter captrajesh
- Start date
Since I need to take a quote from the courier guys, I need to find out the location of all the participants. I have updated the google document with the locations. I'm unable to locate the addresses of the following members and request them to update me.

Naveenkumar

Sivakuru
BTW, do you guys want the shipments to be sent to the respective members should we send them to a central location in cities like Bangalore and Mumbai or to save cost where there are sizable members?
I'm now keeping all the participants in the loop of all correspondence happening with shipping company or Danny via email. Hope you guys are checking the mail ids provided.
Hi Captain,
What is the plan for people who were part of Chennai cabinet build? Are the speakers and cabinets to be received together or we shall get the speaker drivers first and cabinets at a later stage, to be assembled locally?
Thanks!
I'm working on the cabinet builds but nothing has materialised yet. Hence want to keep the options open. BTW, our Bangalore folks have attended a workshop where they went to a professional woodworker's place to get some hands on experience. Could someone check with him whether he can build the cabinets for us? If yes, for how much? I have downloaded all the cabinet plans as well as pics of the fully built speakers which I can share with him.
Hi Captain,
Are you referring to this: http://www.hifivision.com/diy/27233-interest-check-full-day-carpentry-workshop-bangalore-4.html ? It looks like it will be happening in August. And it being a demo workshop at Bosch factory premiss, I doubt if they would accept a build order. But fingers crossed. Request people attending to kindly ask.

It seems the cabinet making is one of the bottleneck which you all are facing in this project. Since I am also into InteriorDesigning projects I will help you out in making them with the help of my carpenters, the same guys who had done my Tapped horn Tuba HT LP build. It will be done at Bangalore, so all interested candidates can update the below thread with their names added to the list along with the requirement:

Disclaimer: This effort is to help you guys and to promote the DIY. This project will be taken up if there is enough interest from the members. I may not be able to give you any sqft rate / anything which you can compare with other quotes, but a rough figure which can vary based on the expenditure / unforeseen events / expense.
Note : This includes a slight percentage of my margin also.

Dinesh and Rajat are DIY enthusiasts with other full time jobs. What we heard from them is they are not looking for taking up outside work, but are open to guide those who are interested in the journey.
OIC, I didn't know that. However, the first post talks about Mangaram who is a professional speaker maker. I'm sure he can take up the work.
BTW, I'm not giving up as such and working on finalising the carpenter. One whom I'm really banking on and whose workmanship is top class is out of station. Hope to do it next week.

George introduced us to Mangaram. He would have his contact details. So now we have about three options - Chennai, Mangaram, and Sajith
I thought I had sent a CC of my correspondence with the shipping company. Haven't you got it?
Due to lack of space, that pallet couldn't be loaded on to that ship. It is now expected to be put on another ship in two days. If that happens, that ship would reach Chennai on 27th.
@Tally3tally, I've not got your location. I'm unable to reach you over telephone also & I always get a voice message that your phone is not reachable. Kindly PM me your location.
I request all the participants to check their emails as some important communication is happening between me, Danny and the shipping company.
Just wanted to check what is happening in the rest of the country for cab builds? Has any group build fructified (except of course Flash's build for sachu and omishra)?
I am curious what kind of finishes others are thinking of? Veneering, laminates, automobile paint? I think now is a good time to share ideas and thoughts.

Guys its official. Our pallet has been loaded onto a Chennai bound ship. ETA is 26/7. It may take a couple of days after that.
I've also spoken to Blue Dart courier & asked for quote for individual packages & locations. Would be getting in a day or two.
The carpenter is out of stn. I've got leads of a couple of pro cabinet makers. Will contact them on my return to Chennai.

Captain,
Thank you for your continued effort on this group buy. Really appreciated. Couple of questions:
(a) Is there a resolution for the issue that was discussed through emails?
(b) Doesn't it take some time (say a week or greater) for getting the customs cleared after the ship reaches the port on 26th July?
Thanks
