Hi Plott,
I was actually inspired by your build but didn’t realize it was needed until the need to cut the rebate and hole before the baffle is assembled into the box as a result of the flatpack approach.
AS8912 has an even cooler look with an angled offset insert.

Are folks mostly interested in a plywood flatpack or looking for an MDF option as well? We would be using the birch faced poplar plywood used on the XSD flatpacks. Cannot get Baltic birch ply anymore due to the war in Ukraine/Russia.
They must buy them in bulk like that I guess. at least an info/spec sheet, but I guess those ordering these have already gone over all that,
like in the thread! It was well packed and all arrived safely.

In the description is says “sold as each so order quantity 2 for a stereo pair”. I probably should move that to the top of the description.
Whoops. Obviously I missed that. The pic only showed one, so I figured that was the case. Does anyone ever buy a single?
I better get some ordered...

What are you driving this with power amp wise? Only hesitation I have is this speakers sensitivity. A full 10 dB less efficiency than XSD.
Can't wait to hear your impression of XA 252 driving it. Smaller non TL version will work well in bedroom system, smaller room, less volume needed, etc. I think I will build smaller version in foam boxes to test.
To Lowes!

I use X's class D power amp in my interpretation and currently I'm building a 2x1200w Ice Edge 1200AS1 class D dual mono with HyperSET buffer - I'm very curious how it works with it. Yes, this speaker needs watts. XA is now postponed, I have (too) many projects 🙄
The Alpha Nirvana drove the 10F/RS225 TL to nice levels perfectly suitable for domestic use. A 75W or 100W amp is perfect and you do not need more than that. The XSD on the other hand, despite being more sensitive, is capable of handling up to 500W of input for some insane peak SPL's - and still sound clean,
