I offer limited custom production here at Hot Springs Village, AR. I will provide plans, flats, assembled unfinished cabinets and completed speakers. Of course, prices may vary at my whim or due to the cost of materials. Since I am doing one-off production, I get no discounts from suppliers. I simply pass on the actual cost of drivers and filter parts. The current price list is:
