[quote name='tempo' post='19532' date='Jun 18 2007, 11:17 AM']Hi, yeah I have looked at the BFM designs, they look like a fantastic option, but I have no tools etc to make one myself. I do have a cabinet maker 20 yards around the corner from home though, so may well look into it in the future. A nice omni 10 + tuba 24 would probably do the job (of annoying the neighbours) !![/quote]
Tempo, Not sure if you know but Thumper is now an "Authorised Builder of Bill Fitzmaurice Design Cabinets in the UK." I am in the same postion as you, no woodworking skills and lack of Power Saw and Router. I know this is a massive plug, but hey-ho. I have been in contact with him a lot recently and he know has some fixed prices for both the Omni 10 and 10.5. Give him a PM if interested.
Back to the Acme Low B, I missed one at an insanly cheap price on e-bay. The guy who was selling, (based Leeds way I think), absolutely raved about them but did say you need a minimum 300w to drive them properly.
I believ they may also be distributed in Italy, but with the £-$ trate, the US is probably the best bet.
Good Luck,
Stuart
