Best ever deal for loudspeaker kits.

Hey Ali,

That would be great I would just need one cabinet for my sub woofer..

Once we know exact number of interested forum members you can ask your source to give the costing for all the units and we can take a call accordingly.

Incase there arent many interested members, I will still be interested in getting the cabinet built for my sub ..

Naren

how many guys in mumbai ?

i have currently planned one cab for jls001

My cab has turned out overly expesnive only because i have changed the design completely- and being obsessive compulsive i have gone and completely done an overkill

this neednt be done
if theres only naren and jls001 - i will let you guys know the cost if buildng from my source - you can then take a call

 

[jls001]

Is this an all wooden cab?

I think magma's using MDF. And from what I heard from him, design seems quite over the top:lol: but top notch since it is CNC-ed.
I want.

Is wood suited to make cabinets? I thought it would have seasonal tendencies to expand and contract and tends to crack if made into an air tight container like a speaker box without catering to the expansions and contractions.

there are manufactures who use all wood cabs
maple etc
they like the flavour it imparts
i think Sonus uses them

most hi end speaker cabs use hardwoods on their front baffle too

@sridhar
p.S : i could have done a maple cab
but i figure this driver doesnt deserve the extra work or cost

sorry naren
no sub (single pc) cab builds

The person who i get my cabs from is actually a very close friend
He is a professional modular furniture builder with a proper machine shop - and usually takes only contracts for the entire office/residential bldg - let alone 1 house

hence to ask him to build a single cab puts me in kind of a spot in which i am not comfortable
if we are making a couple cabs (e.g 4-5 pairs)- all same dimn - then its fine since the labour per cab is less and also the cutting sizes ,job work is identical.
i dont want to block his staff for short jobs

madurai/naren
are you fine with a slightly modified design ?
this wont be exactly like mine - but will be probably be halfway


i ask because jls001 is interested in this modded design
it will become easier for me and the workmen if i just order 2 pairs of identical cabs with same specs rather than ordering diff specs for you and diff for jls001

 

[naren2512]

Hey Ali,

Thanks for your reply & help.. its understandable that it might be difficult for you to ask your friend to build the sub woofer caibnet for me as i am the only one thus far from Mumbai who is willing to get the sub woofer cabinet built from some one.

Additionally for your question on whether I will be ok with the slightly modified design i am guessing you meant to ask that for speakers but i have not ordered any speaker kit as i already have psb book shelves...

My other Mumbai friends - If any can help find some one who can build the sub woofer cabinet it would be appreciated.

Regards,
Naren

Naren, don't lose heart and press the panic button. I'll definitely, at least send you guys the flat packs (if not full cabinets)

 

[naren2512]

Hey Captain,

Thanks for the same buddy I will wait to hear from you on the same and in the mean while will try to speak to any other speaker cabinets maker(s) in Mumbai ( incase if I / we mumbai members come across any )

I wont lose my heart so easily as i know that we together will certainly find the best source to build our cabinets as well just like how we found the best speaker deals ( ofcourse mainly with your help )

Naren

cheers

I will also try to find someone to help build your sub. Will let you know. A friend of mine recently got a pair of speakers built in Irla (Vile Parle West) by a guy who's supposed to be a speaker building veteran.

@naren: PM-ed you contact details.

 

[keith_correa]

@naren: PM-ed you contact details.

Is this the Sikh gentleman at Irla village?

@Naren - if you are speaking to him can you ask if he also will do the baffle routing for flush mounting drivers?

 

[jls001]

Is this the Sikh gentleman at Irla village?

My friend told he is a Sikh gentleman. Ought to be the same person. In fact my friend gave me the name as Mr Singh.

Hi guys,

After I got the invoice and packing note from Danny, I visited the Customs officials the day before yesterday with a letter stating the facts and the above documents.

I was directed to Asst. Commissioner 5B. There was a huge crowd there and I was taken aback but thankfully, that was to meet the official of the adjacent cabin. It took him 3 minutes to browse through the documents. I'm giving you permission only this time he said and bingo, permission was granted.:yahoo:

Thereafter I noticed some disparity in payments made. It took me the best part of the pre-lunch session to figure out what is wrong. Typos by Danny, additional payments by some members for additional stuff, payment by someone on behalf of someone else without updating the googlesheet or intimating me.

I referred the doc to Danny and got the whole thing corrected. Kindly check for accuracy and confirm. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MTD00lBMBj4ISErvnojWgAheReMM9R7uZHyycM17WbY/edit

 

[anm]

thanks for your efforts Capt! Seems ok for me.

 

[omishra]

^^ It seems okay to me, mine + Sachin's to be delivered at my place.

 

[baswamin]

My order looks fine.

Thanks

 

[jls001]

Mine (+magma's) is OK too.

 

[naveenkumar]

Mine is ok....
