Why? Seems there is a demand for the cases. You already have the code....

Hi Cab,

We know that everything is set in stone and we would just need to load tools and press start but those cases take 3-4 hours per case to machine and they are mono blocks... So 6-8 hours for a sold pair. It just wraps up a lot of time for us. I (Matt) need sleep

Best,
Matt and Jas

No one said you had to give them away....

That is very true but we do not like to mark things up or take advantage of peoples money. Just not who we are.

We were selling them for $3,200 shipped for the pair, that was completed ready to play amps. If we get any bites at $3,600 shipped for a pair, we might re consider.

Best,
Matt and Jas

Another note Cab, We were advised by Hypex that this really isn't allowed. Kind of in the grey area. We can't sell completed amps to customers using the NC400 module but we had our customers ship the amp kits to us and we assembled them complete. $3,600 would be the final involved cost for the end customer, so they would fund us $1,850 (amp kits $1,750 on customer end + $1,850 to us = $3,600 total cost).

Best,
Matt and Jas

why not just sell the cases? No issues with Hypex that way and no further assembly time on your end.

We will give this a go in the next few weeks

A pair cases with connectors and hardware included (since it was machined for specific connectors and hardware) for $1,550 ($1,850-$300 if they were assembled on our end).

Couldn't hurt to offer them....Best of luck...

AluminatiSound · « **Reply #208 on:** 15 Sep 2013, 05:08 am »

Just an FYI for interested buyers, the prices of connectors might have gone up since we last made these, which will increase the price slightly...

We use a Cardas XLR, Furutech IEC and WBT binding posts all ordered from Parts Connexion.

Best,
Matt Kraemer

Cab, since you are so insistent on what you want, are you going to buy a pair if they offer them? Or are you just giving free advice to some industrious guys who don't seem to need it.

I give the Aluminati guys lots if credit. Very cool products for reasonable prices.

Cheers

They are certainly industrious but that is no guarantee of success....Time will tell....

I give them a lot of credit too. Just hate to see them get discouraged and take their talents elsewhere if the ice in a box doesn't work out. Always a good idea to play to your strengths.

Hi Matt & Jas,

Please keep me posted on these. I will most likely order ANOTHER PAIR in October so the timing might be perfect. The Diablo is VERY tempting too

Hi Matt and Jas,

Your attitude and enthusiasm are outstanding, which is what I think it takes to be successful in business. Your products are unique and very well built to say the least. With that said I want to tell you some advice that an old realistate mogul told me when I was about your age, I'm 52 now. At the time I owned an alarm business which I started when I was 22, "I still do". I told him that I wanted to get out of it because I was planning on getting into realistate instead. He looked at me and said, don't stop doing the alarm business that you already know, just do both. That was the best advice that I have ever gotten in my 30 years in business. My point is, don't limit yourself to one thing. By only selling the Ice amps your limiting your clientele. Many people will have no interest in these amps because they don't like them, even thou your case work in out of this world. I suggest you do custom case work also, charge what you need to and build your ice amps as well.

Anyway, just my .02 cents worth from an old business owner. I wish both of you the best of luck!

Greg
