XSD Speaker Crossover and Waveguide GB

At the PVR site. If you put in the whole number, with 8 on the end, you get nada. If you put in the number with no 8 or 4 it takes you to the driver. Specs sheet show 8 ohms, and they tell you it is also available in 4 ohms.

This is great news! Now we can all buy this driver without waiting!

Thanks for the tip. It was so obvious that we should have gone to the source.

Screenshot: ships today!

US shipment only, that's... sad...😡

They don't, or I did not see how many are on hand, but had shipping notice very quick, same day!

You might check out some shipping consolidators who provide a US ship address and they forward to you. I know there are several around. One of the members on the XSD GB is doing this. Perhaps he can chime in as to how to go about it?

Thanks X, I placed an order at Parts Express with estimated availability 8/15, will see.
But I would come back to your idea if it doesn't work 👍

I have a back order in there too. Once I take delivery on this new order from PRV I can cancel mine, or keep it if others here need it. Let's see what happens, hopefully not another extension past 8/15.

One more purchase, the woofers, then the 'box" will be made. At least the woofers are in stock. Noticed the tweeters are now back ordered.

 

[Russellc]

I thought it might be a good idea to get another pair of tweeters, just in case I get a funky one. If both sets good, I've got a spare or it can go to someone who needs it here.

The supply chain issues are also affecting speaker components, but not as bad since fewer components. Sorry you guys are having to go through this.

 

[veereshai]

And ship notice came very quickly! Can't complain at all these guys appear very fast.

I'm sure someone like parts express has a gigantic order, but PRV seems to have them.

Russellc

Glad it worked out for you! I got them very quickly.. placed order on Sunday and got them delivered on Thursday (iirc).

 

[Russellc]

I'm watching out for it, BTW, crossover and wave guides arrived in perfect condition.
Thanks for the effort!

Glad you got the parts in good order. Surprisingly heavy little box - it’s a lot of weight in caps and coils and CNC’d metal. Happy building!

 

[Russellc]

And compact too, it almost sort of fit in my mail box. Contents very well wrapped, I was surprised to find wave guides in there too!

Veereshai figured it out, thanks!!!

 

[xrk971]

Thanks Veereshai! Forgot that you were the one who came up with this super idea. I also ordered a set to replace the one that broke in transport to CA (very sad). I packed it well but the delivery company probably dropped it is my guess.

Mine had a good crease, but no damage at all.
