Buying one isn't the idea, they are very much a DIY kind of deal.

That being said I believe there are one or two shops doing builds with greenboy's permission, but these are quite small operations at the moment.

Search is your friend.

Whelp...if you build yourself you're probably in the 700 range.

Some of the authorized builders will run you around $1k.

On a budget, you should look at the Avatar TB153 cab. It's inspired by the fEARful but won't cost as much...it will get you maybe 90% of the way there

The fEARfuls were originally designed as a DIY cab. You buy all the raw parts, cut the wood, solder the crossover components, assemble the whole thing yourself. There are builders out there that will ship a to-spec fEARful to your front door. All you need is money.

There is a middle ground, however. Recently, Speakerhardware.com started selling cutkits in various stages of completeness (wood only, drivers and crossovers only, combinations of the above). I just bought a complete kit 10 minutes ago. I'm not kidding; you cannot make this stuff up!

I have the ability to cut the wood and assemble. However, I have no woodshop anymore. I have the tools all piled in my garage but not enought room to set it all up. I also don't have enough free time to set up the garage for cutting 4x8 sheets of plywood and all the headaches that goes with it.

However, I have room and time for a folding table that I can clamp/glue precut pieces of wood into a cab, solder the x-over, etc. You get the drift, I'm sure.

The options are out there.
