I must admit that the bug has got me and am looking forward to having a dig at some diy projects in the very near future (as funds permit). look forward to being a part of this forum. tc all from down under.

Howdy TC,
Lots of us Aussies here and the board is owned and hosted here too (Brisvegas I think).
What are your DIY interests?
Cheers

Welcome.............
WES Components have a big range of Peerless, Vifa and Scanspeak drivers at pretty good prices.
Welcome to the forum.
We need more Aussies to help bash some sense into those foreigners, especially the Texans............
Cheers,
Eric.
PS,
Brett (Brett) can only think tubes and horn loudspeakers.
Hugh (AKSA) keeps a level head and supplies some very well regarded amplifiers of his own design.
Graham (Circlotron) keeps coming up with crazy ideas - I blame the water.
Darren (Skinnyboy) is still looking for his first girlfriend.

Re: Welcome.............
Nope, but I've done most of the rest, and I know what I like, so why stuff around with anything else? Well, except perhaps the instrument amps I'm doing now.....

I was after the scanspeak 18w/8545 mid and wes components in syd. dont deal with that particular model...(doh). From everything that i have read about this driver it seems to be quite good, and i would like to incorporate it if i can, if i cant well i will have to find a replacement, (any recomendations would be good).
Good to meet you all to (thumbs up)😀

G'day OZ (O.K. it's rather good-night !)
AFAIK a member of this forum is running a DIY speaker shop in Melbourne. I just have to think about the name of the company. They use Perless/Scanspeak drivers for their kits. Maybe they can also supply the particular model on request.

Charles

Caught out by the best memory in the business - again!
Well..., 3 weeks ago you said
And now you say different.
Did you go to Spotlight and act helpless in front of one of the salesgirls like I suggested?

Hi Oz,
I got the loudspeaker design cookbook at Jaycar (ed 6). It wasn't cheap though I think $85........ even though the shelf said $35....... I had a bit of an argument about it, specially since the back of the book said $35, but they said the price on the shelf was for the 5th edition, and the price on the back of the book was in American dollars, even with exchange rate, it should only have come out at around $55, but I couldn't find it anywhere else so I bought it anyway.
Regards,
Tony.
