Flat-pack kits for the 12π basshorn subwoofer are now available for $750.00. They're listed on the π Speakers shopping cart. These flat-pack kits make assembly a lot easier. The panels are all CNC cut for perfect fit.

The cost for the wood alone for a 12π is about $300.00, even at good wholesale prices. So having perfectly cut panels with dados at this price is really great. It makes a bare-bones version of the 12π cost less than $1000.00, for two drivers and the flat pack kit. Of course, you'll probably want the cooling plugs and plates, which are another $200.00. Add coasters and handles and the finish coat, all together you're talking about $1400.00 or so. But that's still a good deal, and the flat pack kits make it easy.
