Stu,

If I may ask, how do you ship from the US to SA? not direct from the supplier right? do you use a freight forwarder like MyUS? I find them the cheapest by a long shot.

Man, R8k for the 2.5 is a bit steep for me right now! How much would the crossover set one back, rough guestimate?
Also in a tight spot, need to buy a new car(that can wait :)), but also have to go to france for a few months. :(

The crossover parts for the standard 2way will cost you about $200 from Madisound, excluding shipping, customs, and VAT.

There is 120uF worth of caps in the tweeter circuit alone which is accounting for much of the price.

Which, IMHO, is a very good incentive to go active ;)

Agree, if you have the amplification for it on hand.  If not you will probably end up paying more for the amps tho.

Yeah, while it is an excellent price, I am already swamped with speaker projects. I already committed to a few speakers, and effectively used this and next months budget. But I am seriously interested. If we can plan to order these drivers only in July 2010, I at least will have a larger budget, and would be able to take a few of each, else I will only take one set for the 2 way now. Hope you guys are in no hurry, and we rather wait and get more people in this buy.

Hey guys,

I am going to order 20 of each for my own business and can order an extra 10 for you and get the next price break. this should knock off a couple of hundred Rand off each driver. I need to order in the next two weeks. Can i get some commitment from at least 5 people to make this possible. I will work with the remaining units.
