Eric,
Good to know that the replacement driver was still available.
Any plans on "protection" for the drivers from such events in the future?

I was thnking about what kind of grille I mght be able to add on top of the driver. I need to check out PE - I always figured it would be the kids that clobbered a speaker, instead this one was from the dog that was trying to catch a ball. Our old dog was a bit more calm...
I needed one driver, but purchased two as some nsurance for the future when they are not avaliable.

Dave,
I've emailed you back a couple of times regarding this, and also to alert you to a problem that you might want to address.
I got the FHXL plans, but not from the link you sent me.
My offer to help (as per the emails) doesn't expire.

Howdy,
has anyone put an 11ms into a FHXL? Doesn't seem like the actual size is enough to make it not fit.

Cogotech,
I screwed up on renewing the domain, and after that forgot to change the name severs back. I fixed frugel-horn.com so it is back — change the “frugal" in the URL i sent for “frugel” and it should work. The main domain should be back shortly, i fixed it this AM (i hope).

A11ms has essentially the same basket size as the A10s. I think Stefan has shipped some flat-paks specifically for them. I have a set of FHXL (currently with P11eN (for sale)) awaiting me to get at them.

I was referring to the fact that the Frugel-horn XL plans are available for free on another site. Details in the emails I sent.
Where? They will need to be removed from wherever they are. diyAudio needs some token payback.

Unbelievable , this website provides so much information to people that don’t have the tens of thousands of dollars to buy “esoteric” audio, but can’t donate $10.00 to get plans for one outstanding pair of speakers. SHAME ! Planet 10 is just trying to keep this website going by people making donation, c’mon 10 bucks!!!!
A Japanese site came up for me when I searched for build logs on them, looks like maybe a markaudio site? Plans were maybe the third item down on the google search.
Don't worry, I know who it is; it will be a genuine error. I've asked for it be taken down, and the site owner will certainly do so very soon: he's a thoroughly decent chap.
In the meantime: I make this request. Please guys. Don't go looking for them. If you want to build them, do the decent thing. Make your very modest $10 donation to this forum, contact Dave with the reciept, and obtain the plans from him. I write this as the designer of FHXL, who gets nothing at all from it, and who currently has an effective monthly earning that varies from zero up to about £200 at best. Despite which I still do what I can to help people here, when time and funds allow. Now if I can do that, a very small donation roughly equivalent in cost to a bottle of PVA glue is not unreasonable.

Planet10 does not get any money from FHXL… it all goes to diyAudio.
The whole idea behind FH.com is to provide good free designs for diyers, and easy to use designs for potential cottage industries (from whom we do appreciate donations from).

It's such a good resource, it really is worth a donation. I still haven't built a set off the plans from when I was a donor before, but have been looking into it a lot more lately.
They do tend to work quite well for a box of their size.
Re the above, it will have been a genuine error; I know the site owner and he's one of the good guys. He'd never intentionally put up something that isn't meant for free distribution. However, English is not his first or second language, and mistakes / misunderstandings can happen in those circumstances. I make enough of those myself, so I'm in no position to criticise. 😉 It'll get sorted out soon.

Dave is there a paper, or drawing for a cutout on the baffle and a super baffle for the XL? Thanks
