SkiteThe 4.5 inch driver will be OEM only, Omega...however, for a very simple taste of hemp, get the big 90L cabinets from Madisound, and the REAL Tone Tubby 8 inchers are only available from
www.abrown.com Click on Sales.
These are the only real HempTone 8 inch drivers, the rest are now "Hemp Matrix" if you prefer Kevlar. The owner of the forementioned lost his license from Tone Tubby on the hemp compound. Tone Tubby is going it alone, along with a 5.25, 6.5, a coming 8 inch wideband "guitar" speaker, and their other guitar speakers. ...I have heard the difference, and please heed my advice, suffice it to say.
If you get the drivers, feel free to email me about effective driver tweaking. Larry Moore preferred the untweaked HempTone 8 in those boxes to the Supravox 215EXC field coil on OB, in overall tone and musical gestalt. On OB, the Hemp cone can take ALOT of lower end EQ lift, because cone breakup is almost nonexistent, the technical reason behind the smooooth sound. ie: these can be made to make bass, on OB. A VERY interesting finding.

I would be interested in the tweaks you speak of. I looked for the 90L speaker you reccomend but couldn't find it.
The more I listen to the amp I really like the way it plays music. It just seems to effortlessly track the flow of the music. it has also fleshed out alot and the harmonics and tone are great. It's a keeper.
The 90L enclosure is the Madisound Woodstyle SUB box. Look under the sub heading. I believe it is Woodstyle. There are two providers, however. A 3X4 inch port will do it.
I took a look at the enclosures looks like an interesting project thanks. Liking the em7 amp more and more.
