Hey guys- need some help. I’ve ordered acoustic elegance drivers the TD18 and I can’t reach them- I’m just trying to get the baffle machined in the mean time- I tried messaging folks that I’ve seen have these but being new it won’t let me … does anyone know the dimensions of the outer frame diameter? Any help would be appreciated thanks
Thank you so much!!! How did you find the communication? Were you ever able to reach them - or just ordered online and one day 4 months later they show up? 😂😂😂
Don't expect them to answer the telephone or email. You'll get a form email back from them 9/10 times telling you they are busy, behind, blah blah blah. Don't expect to order them and get them soon thereafter. I sent them a pair of Dipole 18's that I bought from someone who blew them out for repair and despite them telling me originally it would be 6 weeks it was more like 6 months. Great speakers, terrible communication and service.
Thanks. Thats kinda what I’m starting to understand/ which is fine - just wish they would acknowledge a quick email. On the other end of the spectrum is GSG Audio who is helping me customize the baffle and enclosure and goes above and beyond lol
Historically they publish various specs docs on various forums such as this one with the IBs, TD18's dims. There's a master list 'somewhere', but my link is buried in dead HDs. 
Not sure how much info you need.
This is a Dipole 18 I had sitting in the garage that came back a while ago from a recone.
With the rubber gasket in place on the frame I would call the diameter 18 3/8”.
I measured bisecting two mounting holes opposite each other.

Posted in other thread after seeing tech drawings…there’s a discrepancy that would make me wait until I had the drivers and could actually measure them.
Now that I think of it, when mine was rebuilt (just after Covid) I thought the owner mentioned having to find new sources for materials.
This could result in some dimensional discrepancies I would think.

Thanks for the heads up - I'm going to get two of the 18" used from someone on here - so I'll use those to compare as well. The new ones may be slightly different - but I can worry about that on the next order from GSG
