Leland is updating prices. Thanks for the heads up Bruce.

Side note: Boss wants me to build these cabs from home as a side job, which is good for me. I've never built anything like this before, but I've been around power tools my whole life and have framed a few house add ons, built shelves and various other wood things, etc. over the years. But, I need to give the boss a price for me to do these at home, and I don't know how long they might take me to do. Any rough hours estimates anyone willing to venture for a relative, yet not total noob? I have a table saw, circular saw and jig saw, drill and forstner bit set.

Interesting.....I'm an Eminence dealer and that's not what my price list shows for MAP pricing.

Price list shows the Lab12 at $199.99 MAP and the 3012LF at $194.99.....so does the Eminence web store. Are you looking at the Lab 12 or the LA12850? That one is 25 bucks cheaper, but it's not the right driver.
Man! You were right Bruce! The 3012LF is cheaper because the price of everything went up, but the Lab12 went up a lot more. Total cost for my project went up a little over $100 with the pricing update.

The good news is that Lelands prices are cheaper than you can put together the stuff yourself....and you know you are getting the right stuff.

4 - OT12 2512

Good point Bruce. I wish I just ordered my kits though ;) Anyway, some of the stuff is back ordered right now. So looking at the sketchup models and reading through the plans, I see the TLAH Pro has a high pass filter and the Wedgehorn 10 has a high and low pass filter, the Titan 39 has no filter. I don't really understand how the filters work though I understand what they do. I think I can manage wiring them using the Sketchup models for reference, but if there are any more clear instructions on wiring I could be referred to, that would be great!

The low pass filter for the Wedgehorn has a 200w and 500w option, and I don't know which to get.

I'm not sure if I should be wiring these for 4ohm or 16ohm? The Titan 39 I guess would be 4ohm, so maybe make them all 4ohm for amp compatibility?

From the plans: TLAH does not use a full crossover, which would consist of a low pass filter on the woofers and a high pass filter on the tweeters. The high frequency response of the woofers rolls off acoustically, and their impedance rises with increased frequency, so they do not need a low pass filter.

I can't say what the '200w and 500w options' are, the requirements for the filter components are also in the plans.

T39 has no filter, that's taken care of by the active crossover that feeds the amp inputs.
