I'm assuming you are looking for a non-china supplier for this kind of thing?
Wonder what the minimum is on those? I've been surprised in the past at how easy it was to get direct from china stuff... might be worth a look.

Yes, looking for For Sale in the US.
I actually emailed a few China manufacturers but no replies.
Also, go one left of your link and I will swear that is what I have.
The tops in this pic
Are some empty cabs that I loaded with Eminence parts. 15" with 1 3/8 compression driver. They sound great. Specially for the amount of $ I spent on them. Sub $200 total.
Just wanted to see what is available.

Thanks
But that is what I meant by MSP. (Martin Sound Pro)
Which is where I purchased those SB-15 cabs from.

I'm pretty sure they also sell empty cabinets. I used to get their catalog and they sold them then.

That is what I meant mwmkravchenko.
The cabinets you see in the pic are their SB15 empty cabinets which I loaded with Eminence parts.
Just looking for others
that are already in the US.

I got mine through Martin Audio.
Though the ones listed on erse are identical and are a few dollars cheaper.
I have 8 of the 15".
I loaded with a custom crossover and Eminence beta 15A and ASD1001S drivers (3.5K xover). For the $ they sound good. I do wish I had the $ for a better compression driver though as I do EQ them.
I might try a pair of the 12"
with better components.

nuts... I was hoping you had found a good chi-wan-eeze source for cabinets.
erse and msp are within a buck of each other on that cabinet price.
MSP is free ship on $1500 or more, other than that, they (and erse) are about $25-$30 ship per cabinet... ouch.
I hear you on the eminence 1001 comp driver, I'm not a fan. The selenium 220 series is MUCH better. It's the comp I use in my hs12 tops.
What I'd really like is to find an injection molded cabinet like my hs12 with a midbass horn... but I think that is a pipe dream.
I'm getting lazy on building boxes.....

Problem with China
is shipping cost just as much as item or more - per item.
I ordered 2 the first time around just to check them out
Then 6. I dont recall the shipping being that bad on the 6.
I spent roughly $225 per cabinet completed.

Oh
Forgot - they are flyable. For permanent use - use eye bolts (2 top , 2 bottom)
or like me and use a heavy duty metal O Clamp for truss mounting.

Ugly?
LOL
Looks like a ramsa shape but no horn.
Peavey PR sub esk cabient.
Never seen that type of oval speaker stack mounts.
What is it and what went into it?
Happy New year

Black spandex stretched over the front of a standard cabinet is what you are seeing. I have issues with people hearing with their eyes, so the first thing I always do, is make sure no one knows what brand they are listening to... so they have to use their ears...
Plugging one port to lower the cabinet tuning got rid of some 120hz bump and brought up the 80hz by 6db, so it'll work for this install.... where (gasp) I'm not supposed to be installing subs.
Looks like....
Those look like the Behringer plastic boxes to me. I picked up six of them for use as monitors when I expect rain. They are decent. Do we have a winner??

Behringer Eurolive - or not?
I agree, they look very Behringer Eurolive.

Or like db technologies basic line

I suspect they are all from the same factory. Maybe there are a few others waiting out there to be found.
See the shape of the interlocking feet (top and bottom) - but does anyone really stack these?

Yo bassiklee. I’m really happy for you. I’ma let you finish but db Technologies had one of the best plastic speaker cabs* of all time. One of the best speaker cabs of all time!
* that looks like JBell's plastic box

FlipC - aiming of Tops
Hi FlipC,
Having heard a lot about cross-firing to avoid constructive / destructive interference, i.e.e comb-filtering, I am wondering whether you have tried setting the tops up with less than a 180 degree angle, so that their lobes are firing across each other, as opposed to next to - supposedly this is better, but as this is knowledge gained on another forum, I am never sure what to believe!

Funny cause in the picture the setup is like that.
The picture is of just the left side. Notice the right speaker fires toward the table (red cloth -center of floor) So both right and left sides inner speakers are turned in about 45 degree's in from center.
The outer speakers are about 10-15 degree's
out. Notice there is the long wall on the left hand side. Right side has this also. Didn't want reflections off that until rear of room.
Normally the out speaker would be a bit higher
for distance coverage but that venue has a corner stage with dance floor surrounding it. So 3 sides. Was a 300 person wedding reception. The space kept asking me to turn it down.
I setup what I think will work.
Do a 180 degree walk about during sound test at medium and long distance.
Adjust if anything doesn't sound right.
