[QUOTE="Max Warasila, post: 206849, member: 3845"] [I]And, many months later...[/I] To all of you that have repeatedly asked and encouraged me to provide these plans, pricing for flat packs, and for Helge in particular who has been kindly waiting for me to be ready to build him a pair for nearly a year now: thank you for your patience. I'd like to start by saying that creating plans for these speakers would have been easier literally any other way than I decided to go about making them. The plotted layouts are not supremely easy to read nor perfectly clear, but I have managed to get everything to line up correctly according to the most prolific plans before these created by Don quite a while back. While I would certainly like to have done a better job, things that you will find in this current edition of the plans are: [LIST] [*]Baffle dimensions and angles that are even millimeter or degree measurements. [*]Cutouts for feet, H1024 handles, and a Penn-Elcom M1557/M20 pole mount for all use cases. [*]STX NL8 cutouts. [*]Bracing system based off a single central piece. [*]Simplified 12" baffle design for less crazy parts construction (no moutains or spacers). [*]Foam damping for the Modern Era™ [*]A real-life grille design (though I'm still unsure of how I'm going to build it, if I'm honest.) [*][B]A STANDARD SET OF MEASUREMENTS FOR BAFFLES AND CABINET THAT WILL WORK FOR ANY DRIVER OR HORN COMBINATION. [/B](This was a huge issue in the past, and now it's solved!) [/LIST] Peter, I would greatly appreciate you taking a look at these plans and offering any feedback you may have on spacing, For those of you who have asked me about flat packs - yes, I can indeed create a flat pack for you. I will note that in the past, I had some trouble getting the baffles to fit into the CNC routed dado pockets, but I will resolve that this time around and test fit your pieces before sending them to you. I can work in other options for you, such as other handle types, if you wish. I can also build you the speakers if you desire. As far as flat pack pricing, the most it would cost is 600 USD per pair. For a complete, furnished pair, I'd say that number is about 3000USD per pair, drivers and all. As it stands, I recall having several people interested in the flat packs, and if I do more of them, the price will drop. Please [B]email me[/B] if you are interested, rather than using a PM here on SoundForums. It's just going to be easier for me to keep up with and check daily.
