The Boominator - another stab at the ultimate party machine

[rubennn]

Oh my god! Look what dumped into my e-mail just now:

Dear Ruben,

I'm afraid to announced HP-10W is discontinued, it is no longer manufactured.
I suggest to cancel your order and refund, do you agree ?

If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask me.

Kind regards, Timotée.

Kind we count on this or is it just the french? :P

I have talked with 4-5 sellers that claims to have a shipment of HP10W in week 23 independent of each other. So im kinda hoping that week 23 are the answer to our prayers

I hope not. The HP10W is used in a lot of designs, so I can't see any reason why they would stop making them. Probably only this reseller that will not restock them.

Week 23 is still in fairly good time for the festival, even if there are delays, provided you make the rest of the stuff ready to just plug them in when they arrive. You should try an get a confirmation on actual latest expected delivery date, and see if you can sign up for immediate shipment on arrival.

Does anyone know the rules in Sweden when recieving packages from outside EU?

Have you checked ShopUSA.com ? I bought some parts through them and they take care of shipping outside US when a seller only sells inside US. They also take care of customs so the package goes through the danish customs fast I believe. You could check it out perhaps.

Hey there,

Hey Lucas,

Unfortunately I'm afraid to announced HP-10W is discontinued, it is no longer manufactured.

Best regards, Timotée.

I can confirm that I also have recieved the same mail as Ruben. Isn't week 23 a bit late if I want to build my stereo before Roskilde? Or should I just build the whole thing without the speakers and then wait for week 23 to come?

I am waiting for week23, that should be in time to make a order for a alternative speaker system

The experts says HP10W, then i'll go HP10W! I have 3-4 shops that will contact me asap with the exact delivery date. I'll post it here when I get it.

Actually, I'm considering even more and more to go with the half boominator. Mostly because I already have 2x HP-10W but also because this year of Roskilde I will have a small camp, and probably move a lot around showing my stereo off (as the douchebag I am - hell yeah xD).

It weighs less, takes up less space, doubles the battery life, half the volume...

I don't think I will need to be playing for 30+ people :P

If anybody is adventurous they could try getting one of these: PA Subwoofer 10 | BN201848 - Elektronik Lavpris ApS

Going by the picture it does look almost exactly like an HP10W, so maybe it actually is.

No guarentees though.

(Btw, they say they have 8 in stock, and will get more on the 10th of June, which is week 23, another indication that it might actually be an HP10W).

Exactly what I thought. When they arrive tomorrow you can see instantly if they are HP10Ws (by the sticker on the back of the driver). And you can report back.

It would be fantastic if they are HP10Ws as we've actually found a danish reseller which will cut shipping costs and time by loads. Not to mention they're actually competetively priced.
