Best ever deal for loudspeaker kits.

[Danny Richie]

Thanks for pointing out. Since the SW 12B drivers have exhausted, the hot deal ceases to exist but the amp can be procured @$149 as listed on the website. Alternatively, you may consider buying the servo sub kit which @ $497 though more expensive than the regular sub, is definitely superior.

I still have more of the SW-12B woofers, but the rest of the amps will be used with V-2 kits.

Thank you for your information Danny, accordingly, I've added Harsh247 for the SW12B - SA-1 combo kit.

Hello Again,

Hi Ruben,

I understand that you are offering to do the X-LS Encore flat-pack for $75 if 4 or more people opt for it.

Correct.

Is there a similar option for the X-CS Encore and the Subwoofer kit GR SW-12B + SA-1 Sub amp and the AV-1 RS? Could you please let us know the group buy numbers required and your best price for those?

Sure. Please give me until tomorrow to look over the plans again and get some numbers together.

If there are requisite number of people interested and Captain, Danny & others agree to include the flat-packs in the shipping pallet, then it would make it a bit easier to newbies like me.

Gotcha.

Also just wondering if you would include all the braces required in your flat-packs?

Absolutely! Each flat pack comes with everything needed to build the enclosure as it has been designed by Danny.:thumbsup:

Thanks,

Ruben

Danny - do you have any more of SW-12-08 drivers?

 

[anm]

Capt - I had send him pm as well as posted on thread. I have not made much progress with him except he asked for plans for sub from Danny.

About speaker cabs I have already posted him PM on forum.

Ruben - are you listening? There are more people looking for sub cabs

 

[captrajesh]

Hi Capt,
I am in for:
1. X-LS Encore Stereo speaker pair kit @ $149: 1 kit
2. Sonicap upgrade for X-LS Encore(Best bang for the buck)@ $72.40: 1 kit
3. No Rez lining listed @ $39.95 --> how much is needed for one pair of X-LS Encore? Sorry to be asking this (dumb) question at this late stage. I have not really been able to follow the full 41 pages of this thread.

I will also opt for cabinet if available preferably from Ruben.

Added u for the kit & No Rez. One sheet wd suffice for a pair of X-LS. Ruben is proving to be elusive; probably the other forum is keeping him busy. We will wait for cpl of days & then finalise the cargo

Hi Capt.
I am trying to assimilate and consolidate my inventory and tools for the this build (I am confirmed only for the kit),

Have couple of questions for the build
1.per box plans

...Braces are designed to be glued in using Liquid Nails. ....

wanted to know what is "Liquid Nail"?

Is this available in India ( have checked our Gogole aunty but no concrete results (wrt Indian context))
Is this similar to pedilites "Fivicol Nailfree" ( checked with the retailers in my "village" - they dont have them )
(http://www.pidilite.net/downloads/products/InternationalPC.pdf ) - mentioned in page 16​

any alternatives to this

- or our regular wood glue(fevicol) will do?
- or can I use 'IRON' nails ? ​

2.Regarding alternatives to No Rez - floor tiles have been discussed.
so what is being reffered here

Vitrified Tiles
ceremic tiles ,
Mosaic tiles...​

It is very apparent that you are totally new to DIY. I suggest you take the help of some experienced DIY guys in Bangalore than attempt to DIY literally to end up with a good sounding speaker.

DIY on Speakers build ?
--you can be absolutely right and that this will be my second build.
Other wise from Woodworking prespective - sbg 's casual times... ....not a perfectionist, but learning a lot.
Will surely take others help.

 

[anm]

pls look up. Ruben has responded. It seems his posts are getting moderated, and hence delayed.

 

[captrajesh]

Sharing Ruben's PM - 4 or more encore cabs - $75 instead of $100.

you mean the SUB I am buying?
I am considering a flatpack for that only
Maybe I will take one encore to foray into DIY myself.

Since your first post implied that you were considering flat packs for Encore, I assumed as such.

Hey Sanjay, that sure looks like a professional job; only difference is, you didn't need to use liquid nails there I guess.:lol:

The floor tiles referred in the speaker build threads on AC are industrial tiles which may not be easy to source here. We have similar options here. Try touching base with Anil Kumar, T.Anthony, GeorgeO, Srikant etc who are majorly into DIY of speakers and you are done.

[denom]

Hi Capn,

Volume will be calculated by multiplying the Length X Breadth X Height (each of the dimensions in metres). So get the dimensions from Danny for each kit. Freight rates are charged mostly on volume but if the weight is more then that is considered, in place of volume.

Hi capt, I meant I am also exploring both cabinets, but now sub primarily.
If possible add me for X-LS Encore Stereo and no rez lining. I will use it for developing my DIY. I can still go for cabinet flatpack.

 

[captrajesh]

Right from the day the group buy is closed, I'm getting a requests for change, addition, deletion and modification. I have no problem in incorporating the changes. Only thing is planning the logistics becomes difficult. It may become difficult once they are finalised.

 

[captrajesh]

Sure. You may decide by tomorrow noon. Kindly understand that the logistics have to be planned which is quite a task.

Done. How many No Rez sheets? 1 sheet would suffice only for the Encore pair.
