Hi all.
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this.
I'm looking for some Faital 3WC-15 loudspeakers and wondered if anyone here could build some? If so, what kind of price are we talking?
I'm based in the UK.
Many thanks

Have you tried quotes from local cabinet makers? A couple in my town include speaker cabinets among their examples.
It could be useful here to explain what you need in terms of help and what components and plans you intend to buy.
For instance you intend to buy the speaker woodworking and Xover plans, drivers and components via Troels or source the hardware in UK. Which could possibly mean that you:
1) Need somebody to purchase the wood in UK, get it cut to size and then assemble the cabinet, glue and stuff as per the guidance in the plans.
2) What finish would you like on the cabinet, oiled, painted or veneered?
3) Would you then collect the cabinets or need them delivered.
4) Possibly you assemble the Xover and install the drivers?
You have certainly chosen an ambitious project mostly due to its size and mass. The price of wood is a real issue at the moment as with most things the price has sky rocketed. Is it for home or an install for a club or bar as just moving them around will be fun?
If you have the space and have the wood accurately cut, then assemble yourself will save you money. DIYing is going to be way cheaper than a true cabinet makers rates, more so if you want them veneered.
Could you give a bit more info about what your idea of the build entails.
With slightly more info, others will add their thoughts and advice.
