OK, I'm getting lazy in my old age, so I'm looking for a kit where all the hard work has been done for me.
Hence I'm looking at the Swan HiVi 3.1a Kit, which even includes flat-pack cabinets.
However I'm having problems finding outlets.
I live in Australia, but have always used Shipitto in the past, so buying from a US outlet shouldn't be a problem.
Ideally I'm looking for a kit with the Sehlin mode to the crossovers.
Anyone know of any current outlets?
Maybe the actual manufacturer?

However there link to the seller, Amazon, doesn't appear to be working.
I'm waiting on a response to an email I've sent them.

There were several threads about improving the stock crossover when the 3.1a first came out. Scott Sehlin developed two updated crossovers: one that reused many of the stock components and another "perfectionist" crossover. Here's the thread: https://diy.midwestaudio.club/discussion/550/hivi-diy-3-1-revisited/p1.
Yeah, I was definitely going to use Scott's mod in the crossover.
Actually I'm having so much trouble trying to get a kit, that I might build my own.
The measuring and crossover design doesn't scare me (although I haven't done a design in over 20 years), but the cabinet work to me is a PITA. I don't have a router, so I would have problems cutting the driver recesses.
