What’d you do, buy a dozen?
I went a little overboard. 2 SpA300D plate amps for 2 RSS265HF-4 (already had one) and 2 beast modes to play around with waveguides.
Nope, just two
Ran across these Thiel parts on ebay. Based on the drivers used in the speakers, we could figure out what size openings they have. Thiel for sale | eBay
I just bought 4 of the 56uf Clarity Caps that seller has for sale. They sure don’t look pristine, but that’s fine with me as long as they measure fine.
The Menards in my area have the “value shelving” piles red tagged at $1.00/shelf (discounted from the normal 2.99). Picked up 4 really nice 3/4" x 11.5" x 48" laminated shelves for 4 bucks!! It’s a nice black laminate, so now I will not have to paint the woofer boxes for my Indy build!
$7 bass shaker at Newark, clearance pricing. A guy could series/parallel a shitload of these for an interesting couch sitting experience.

CSS has been running daily sales (12 Days of Christmas). Today’s is particularly good…Buy 3 LDW7’s ($199 ea and get a 4th free).
I’d have to say those are the most satisfying 6.5" (or 7") I’ve heard!
XXLS 830845 $106.35 +tax, tarrif, and shipping: XXLS-P830845 Peerless by Tymphany | Audio Products | DigiKey
Other than being 8 ohms, that is a banger of a price.
I was ready for $50 tariff, but in the cart is says $106.35 + $6.99 shipping + $10.64 tariff = $123.98.
Even better, price at Qty 25 = $80.06 ea.
I could not refuse approx 50% off. Got Qty 4 of the XXLS 12 inch for $513 shipped.
Now dreaming of a whomping 12 inch monkey coffin 3 way.
Now 96 available!

I work so slow, and much of the effort in a build is crossover tweaking, I now try to build 2 pairs - one for me, and one for a buddy.
HI Don, When you get them, can you please post actual TS Specs for them if you can? if poosible before and after break in?
This seems quite the woofer, found a post of 8 ohm onw by @tktran303 from DiyAudio
Given the discounted cost, these have quite the numbers.
Sure. cook them for a couple of hours on heavy bass, let cool down and measure.
