Hi found these piezos are they useable? Half the price of the ones on cpc site

There's probably a reason why they're half the price. The CPC we know are good.

[Billthebassplayer]

Fair point i'm not really saving money if i buy 30 cheap ones, use em find out they're crap and then replace em

ASD1001 is a cheaper alternative than buying piezos.

What do people in Europe (NL: Thijs?) use for glueing piezo arrays? I have tried model plane glue (UHU), but it did not really meld the piezo horn material like it is supposed to. PVC glue also did not work very well. I have made a few arrays with the types of glue that I could find, but my results so far have been rather fragile at best.

I use PVC pipe cement. Before I glue up I add the plastic cutoff from trimming the piezos to the can and leave it overnight, it will dissolve to tint the cement black and thicken it. Add clear thinner to the cement if it's too thick. A few coats and it's rock solid.

Bill, are you saying you use clear PVC pipe cement and let the trimmings give it the color? Or do you add the trimmings to black cement?

David, the answer is A/

For perforated grilles, I bought from RS
http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/sear ... 4294954628

Good range in aluminium, mild steel, galv and stainless. Also plastic

Good value compared with B&Q and when I missed the delivery (DHL) they rang offering to re-arrange the delivery with DHL. When I told them that i'd already done it the sent an email to DHL to make sure that they did deliver on the day arranged.

They used to be known as BMM Electronics (www.bmm-electronics.nl), name changed to Europe Audio somewhere last year. Not sure if I ever bought from them. Search for their old and new name if you want more info.

[quote="djshortpaul"]+1 for http://www.thomann.de - I can't find a cheaper supplier in the UK for Eminence drivers (and they're not even in the UK!).

i just received my 2 3015lf's i ordered with them , within 4 workingdays of ordering them !!!
they are breakin in as we speak
they were 40 € a piece cheaper than my local audio store + shipment was free on 200€ + orders .
it makes the titan's 48 i'm building even cheaper then i thought .

guys i found this very very very cheap store in uk (even if i live in italy):
http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/
they sell all eminence products (I mean the whole catalogue) and you can buy driver in x2 or x4 options and save more money so!
I can't still understand wich model/brind of piezo have to use to build OT12-15, DR200-250 in europe but maybe on this store they have it too

[AntonZ]

Monacor piezo works, not sure where to get them at this time. You may want to contact forum user Sabbelbacke. He can send you piezo's.

do you mean this one right??
damn 4 € for each...it's pretty much expansive here in italy!!

[AntonZ]

Looks very much like the ones I've got indeed. Mine are good, were a bit cheaper, even with shipping from Germany.

If you do order from him, I recommend you buy some dirt cheap piezo's as well. Not only will you appreciate the difference in sound quality, but you also get cheap material to practice cut & glue without ruining perfectly good "expensive" piezo's. Last but not least: get some extra (of the good ones). There can be a few inferior drivers in a large batch, and you may break some as well on your first arrays.

thanks for advices Anton!
I was going to buy 4...5 piezo more then my needing for that reason even if i will build a flat array (i guess there are no advanges in small pub rooms between flat and melded).
sorry for the OT!
ps Anton you have a PM
