Mark: No worries.... I just took it off the site because Adire doesn't have them in stock. They go back on the site as soon as they are available to ship.
Also may as well update the other subwoofer news while I'm on the subject.
The MicroWMD project is coming along nicely. Price is still on budget for a $439 for the entire kit. The popular FX-10 driver by Adire wouldn't work for the PE enclosures due to the difference in basket size so we did a quick redesigned with 12 spoke basket, lower Fs & higher Q to better optimize our driver for sealed box & dipole performance. The response curve of the new system extends lower in the small sealed box. The drivers are in line for production and should be available (hopefully) in Feb 2004. These have the XBL^2 motor technology that gives us REALLY low distortion, much lower power compression and lower inductance than the older technology drivers. How much? Go see the Adire web site where they compare the XBL^2 motors to some of the better underhung/overhung VC designs.

It will be a twelve spoke basket XBL^2 driver optimized for sealed box (IB) or dipole use. It will have about 20mm of usable excursion, high Q & lower Fs, which should make it about perfect for 2 cu. ft. sealed enclosures. We will sell it as a drop-in replacement for the PE kit and we are kicking around the idea of a series of dipole subs to compliment the sealed box line.
