    Thanks for the heads up, I made an order earlier today, and they shipped today.
    Should be here in 2 days.
    I live in the same state so I had to pay taxes, but still came out smelling like a rose.
    Cheapest prices anywhere on the net.
    Got my order so cheap (compared to other sights), I feel like I stole something!:biggrin:

    I noticed on their website that they do not have a 13.5uF generation 1 cap. Have they been able to get this custom value for people?
    Also for the 0.25uF cap have people been using the 0.22uF cap in place

    these are for a 1.2TL crossover.

    They can make custom values. If not, just use the next closest value within 5-10%.

    looking for the .25uF cap and I got this below back from elliot. Should I go with .22uF as some on here have or .33 per his suggestion?

    We do not have anything that is close to the 0.25uF. If you are using
    the 0.25uF as a coupling cap, you probably can use the 0.33uF.
    Currently, Gen I 0.33uF is out-of-stock. But it's available in Gen II.

    You're not using it as a coupling cap.

    As for Gen I vs. Gen II, in that circuit you'd be hard pressed to tell a difference and should go with whatever one they have in stock.

    guess they cant match the .25uF so .22uF will have to do.
    they can match the 13.5uF cap though

    Ok, I just emailed them and got this response:

    Sonic Craft will be closed December 15th through the 17th. All orders placed during this time will be processed on the 20th. Due to this closure, we have decided to extend our current sale through the 22nd. Our apologies for any inconvenience.

    Ok, that's fine, I'd like to order my parts with the sale because I'll save $50

    Does anybody know if Polkies get an additional discount?


    When Jeff called me to offer suggestions about the 130uf caps in the SDA2a's I told him i had heard about the sale through Polk forum I got 20% off and a Excellent conversation with him and nothing else except wisdom. Between him and F1nut i ended up getting the Axiom caps but found them cheaper at parts connection and he told me his were 11 years old and did not fall under the 20%off sale. Some other folks told me they would be fine to use but i was ordering from Parts connection anyway and they ended up being cheaper there. Jeff was straight forward to tell me the info on them which he did not have to do. EXCELLENT guy to do business with.
    as i'm sure you already know Lasareath:smile:
