I just ordered this:

Good service and fast delivery ... and quite cheap

Also look at this thread
Sources for Mylar or similar film

I think that 6 um is a good compromise ... how low do you intend to go?

That is just what I was looking at, I would like to go to 40hz if possible.

Any leads on the aluminum foil tape,I found it in the states
but it is back ordered.

If you are going to make larger bass panels (which will be needed to go to 40) you should/could consider using 12 um.
6 um I think is a good compromize for broad band mid to high. For a real tweeter section 3.5/4 or even 2 um would be even better.

(seems my last link to ebay don't work ... cut in half

)
See here the selection
