Nice look, and I know how the XBL motors perform, any ideas where a Canuck can buy the cabinets?

What tweeter is that?
Is the FR125S the new one with the more open frame?
Is the FR125S Enabl'd?
And is that price ($299) for a complete stereo pair?  Or should we double that to have a pair of speakers?
Thanks

Mr. Al
Looks awesome as always! :o
Just a quick question: will you also look into supplying kits with all of the wiring setup ("plug and play") for us goofs (i.e. people like me)who can barely change a light bulb, never mind wire up a cross-over??  :D

Anyway, great to see you're back with some new models, and I hope all is going well with you!!

FENCE-SITTERS: You REALLY have to see and hear Al's products.... simply wonderful :thumb:... his attention to detail is bar-none and he is a great guy!!!

If it's not something Al has time for or just doesn't want to do, I'd be more than happy to help out.  Al has recommended me to his customers before.

I can help with X-overs too and can do cabinets if someone wants other than PE, although they are well-made and a bargain.

Wow, Hank!  They actually let you out of your hole enough to work on speakers again?;)

I have a spare hour every once in a while.  Right now I'm recovering from CES and into work generated by all the meetings there.  I've actually received four RFQ's in the last few months.
How are things in sunny Florida?

Just updated the information .Measurements will come soon as well

Yes we can arrange for Hank or Brian to do the full assembly for anyone interested.There is no sense on all these parts to come into Canada  assemble them and then ship them back into the US.Both of these guy's have my seal of approval there quality is stellar both in cabinety work as well as assembly.

Hi-Vi T20-8 is the tweeter
Yes the FR125S new open frame (better venting around the spyder)
No the FR125S is not Enabl'd but for an addition charge we can have them done

The price of $299.99 is for the drivers ONLY all other parts you can source from PE with the cabinets.

Really in one weekend you can complete all the cutting of the baffles for the driver holes, assemble the crossovers and install the parts.

Last the port can be rear ported or front ported your choice.

Hi Al,
Good luck with your new designs. What is the cost to have a driver Enabl'd?

Hi Al,

Richard
Thanks for the input toward the new series.
As far as the Enabl process cost on the drivers we can have it done for an additional charge but we also the same process will soon be available on the woofers as well.


Cost for the treatment only on the drivers $110.00 for the pair of FR125S drivers plus shipping costs to send the drivers to be treated as we do not do the process here.

Al pointed me at this tread, and i'd like to add a few comments as the guy that actually does the EnABL.

At the moment, we are still working thru the logistics of accepting drivers from end-users for treatment. Actually this is so new we are still working on logistics of regular production for ourselves & OEM customers (ie RAW). We are accepting small numbers of drivers from patient end-users who are willing to help us work out & test logistics.

Please contact Al or me for details.
