Welcome to AC  :thumb:
Do you already googled it? Just found it on the firsts goo itens:
Is there any interest in a DIY kit for an excellent low cost open baffle speaker that is very easy and economical to build? I was going to build myself a pair, but I already have too many speakers and other projects going, so I have to pass on what I have assembled so far for someone else to complete.

The speaker is the DIY version of the Manzanita Ultra. The commercial version that John sells is shown here:
Manzanita Audio Solutions . Ultra CV

The DIY version you can build is described here:
Fast, fun, Inexpensive OB project

Start at post #851 and #1602 for the details on this Ultra build

I have the following parts for this DIY Ultra build:

Parts Express part numbers are as follows:

266-960 ERSE Super Q 20mH 16 AWG 500W Inductor Crossover Coil (cost new-$38.79)
255-434 Jantzen Audio 2.7mH 15 AWG Air Core Inductor Crossover Coil (cost new-$32.48)
027-236 Dayton Audio PMPC-6.2 6.2uF 250V Precision Audio Capacitor (cost new-$4.93)
005-15 Mills 15 Ohm 12W Non-Inductive Resistor (cost new-$4.25)
005-8 Mills 8 Ohm 12W Non-Inductive Resistor (cost new-$4.25)
091-1154 Parts Express Dual-Ended Gold Binding Post Speaker Terminal Pair (cost new-$7.80)
264-1062 Vifa TC9FD18-08 mid/tweeter (new in the box) (cost new-$ 12.53)

Some speaker wire is also included. Quantity 2 of each is included so the total new cost of the above parts would be $210.06

NOTE: You will still need to order the 2 GRS woofers from Parts Express:
Woofer. GRS-15PF-8 15" woofer. PE P/N 292-415 (cost new-$30.88)

As well as build your baffle and wire them up, etc.

Price is firm at $115 shipped within CONUS via USPS

Its a passive two way xover, If you dont want run the woofer full range direct I could use only a air core ribbon inductor as Goertz or Jantzen (avoid cheap iron core inductors) at the desired freq cut.

Seems they are doing correction with a circuit feed by a 9V battery due the small 12'' woofer placed away from the floor to dont use a bigger 15'' woofer.
