Where To Buy Speaker Cabinets?

[toobwacky]

With slim towers being in vogue nowadays, I'm finding it impossible to find pre-built speaker cabinets that can accommodate a 12" woofer on the front panel.

I might have to hire a cabinet maker, but that sounds spendy.

Anyone know of a vendor for "old school" style pre-built speaker cabinets? Thanks!

...empty pre-owned cabs such as L100s, 4311, etc. are often sold on Fleabay. SHipping is expensive, often exceeding the value of the boxes, however.

...nothing I know new except carpet covered traps for disco or cars being sold for 12" drivers.

...good luck!

If anyone out their owns a cabinet shop and is looking to expand it, the speaker cabinet marketplace isn't being wholly served by what is being offered now.

Surely there must be others besides me who are designing floorstanding speakers with woofers larger than 8 inches.

I can't speak to his willingness to supply others, but the best examples of this craft I've seen are from a member of this group who appears to be not too far from you. He likes the L7 but not the look. Check out his solution to those issues here: http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=175104&postcount=18
