ThanksI dont know the exact unloaded weight but Im guessing around 200lbs!

The original woofer was one Richard had made for him by Eminence! Yes Eminence, the model number was the 18016. Its said he copied the old vega 189.

thaks a bunch.....You looking at the RLA Emerald on Ebay?

That may NOT be an RLA, the cabinet is different, in many ways! It is a big folded horn, but its not the way Richard made his!

Sorry to bring bad news!

but crating and shipping may get a bit expensive -- especially for a potentially non-genuine article, the fact that teh seller refuses to crate and arrange shipping also makes it more hassle than the cabinet is worth to me....

I bet the reserve is way up there too....


thanks for the heads-up.....

And yes, you would have the only BASSment!

NO!!,GSA and SBS are not the only ones you can get RLA custom cabinets from. You can also get them and more from VCUT AUDIO.VCUT has been building RLA and other products for over 25 years. Go to my web site for more..

i actually have temporarily gone in a "more reasonable" direction.
(four EAW SB48s)


hopefully i'll have a larger space for RLA type cabinets in the near term...

:)


and I had talked to gary in the meantime, seems he really liked to provide cabinets for his installations only at the time...
