In Reply to: Buying Titan II Sub? Help! posted by MintFranklin on January 03, 2002 at 09:28:08:
I have placed 2 different orders from ACI and received great service both times. The speakers arrived both times on exactly the promised dates. I would order from them again in a heartbeat (great products, great prices, excellent customer service).For what it is worth, my last purchase was a Titan II kit (from their DIY division at www.subwoofers.com). It took me a couple nights to build the cabinet (very easy if you have some basic woodworking tools). I used the drawings on the internet site for the box and finished it with oak feet and an oak top so it looks exactly like the Titan II that they sell. I received the parts from ACI 2 days after I ordered it. If you went the DIY route (or had a cabinet maker make you the box), you could have the Titan II faster and cheaper (mine ended up costing me about $675 - a steal).

I would not mind building a Subwoofer from a kit, but the company does not offer cabinetry in their kits.They told me that would provide me with a finished cabinet at a cost of the finished speakers minus the price of the kit. No unfinished cabinets! - I was not impressed!

The only thing left for you to do would be to throw on some stain and varnish and turn a few screws to attach the components (this certainly doesn't reduce their cost much).Saving money on a speaker kit really means making your own cabinets.
It's about finishing the cabinets the way that you want them !!!!

for a Titan II LE in whichever wood you want without lacquer. I don't know if they would do it or not, but in my discussions with them I know they sometimes do special order woods, maybe you could special order without the lacquer. There is the very slightest gap between the wood and the inner black box, you could easily mask it with tape before you did your custom finish. Just an idea.
