Virtually everything on our site can be furnished in kit form. In some instances we've modified the cabinet design to
make it easier for amateur woodworkers to build. That means a simple rectangular cabinet without any complex angles or curved
panels.
The following designs are also available as kits (
RC3R,
35F,
SA-1,
Hiddenite,
35CC,
RS8, and the
Peridot). Here's a FAQ list of questions that are common from DIY audiophiles:
Do cabinets come with your kits?
The prices listed do not include cabinets but we can supply them upon request for the RC3R, Tanzanite, 35F,
Sardonyx, 35CC, Hiddenite, and SSR. These are pre-finished and all you need to do is cut the openings for the drivers
and ports (where applicable), add the drivers, and install the crossovers / damping material. In some cases you'll need to
cut and install additional bracing for the enclosure. The baffles are glued and screwed to the main cabinet so final assembly
is very easy. For an additional charge we can cut the baffles for you - feel free to ask for a quote.
What's included with the kit?
Drivers, assembled crossovers (with internal wiring), connectors, terminal cups / binding posts, gasket tape, screws, cabinet
plans, and shipping costs. The ported designs also come with port tubes and foam sheets for internal damping. We also provide
free unlimited support via email or phone.
What's the difference between the standard and deluxe crossovers?
Our standard crossovers include Solen polypropylene capacitors (values less than 100 mfd for the 35CC), Mundorf metal
oxide resistors, air core inductors, and steel laminate 15awg inductors (values greater than 4mh). The deluxe crossovers
use Clarity Cap, Auricap, or Mundorf capacitors in the tweeter and midrange sections. In some of the 3-way designs
these are also implemented in the woofer portion of the crossover. The inductors are Goertz 16awg copper foil coils in
places where the d.c. resistance is acceptable to maintain the optimal transfer function of the driver response.
All resistors in the deluxe crossovers are Mills MRA-12 1% tolerance parts.
Upon request we can implement specific brands of parts; however, the design may not allow for specific components because
of circuit optimization and /or space constraints. We can advise you concerning what will work best for your system.
