If I had any inclination towards a DIY cab I might've. Those seem to be fine speakers otherwise. But I'm not really looking to go that route at the moment. For someone who likes to tinker it would probably be a good deal. It was something like $150.

I was thinking like $25 just for the box sans drivers...I'm sure the seller would have balked. You know what it is...I know what it is...someone will fork over the $150 thinking it's the real deal.

I believe Andy wants the "blown" or creased drivers back when he's selling you new ones. I may be mistaken, but I have a friend who went through plenty and if I recall correctly, he had to send the old ones back.
I called and they won't ship it, not even to another Music Go Round location. Oh well...guess I'll just keep doing my daily scouring of TB classifieds, Craigslist, etc. for my second Acme cab.
Ask them if they'll deliver it to the nearest FedEx Office store. If they will, contact FedEx Office to have them pack it and ship it to you. I once did that with an eBay amp that was Local Pickup Only and the seller agreed to drop it off after I paid for it.
Does anyone know is Andy still building cabs? I try to contact him via Email and Facebook to buy a 112 but I haven't received anything form him.
I only purchased used Acmes (years ago) but probably best to try calling him... Web site offers this number: (303) 783-8766.
I just looked at Acme's Facebook page and Andy posted a question to Acme users on June 19 (last Monday). Seems like he's still at it.
I appreciate the update, let me see if I can get in contact with him.
Team. After I received my new 112FR, I have to sale it. If anyone interested on a brand new 112FR for $600 shipped send me a PM.

I did know that. Thanks for the info. I am getting another amp and I will try it to see if it makes a difference.
My little office rig. What you can't see off to the side is my 2 x B1's (4 ohm). That's a B2 under the Aguilar TH500.
I know I'm usually a bit late finding things out, and so I just discovered that the Acme cabs no longer have mid and tweeter controls (they now have fixed settings built in). Does anyone have direct experience with the new (fixed) version vs the older (adjustable) version, and can you give a comparison? How do they sound, and do you miss being able to adjust the mid and tweeter? I have a pair of B2's that I got in 2009, and I like being able to adjust the mid and tweeter, not sure if I'd like not being able to tweak those settings.
I have both the adjustable and the non-adjustable.
To be honest, I mess with them at home, but on the job the non-adjustable are more reliable because I don't feel the need to mess about with them like I do the others, so they are consistent.

thought i’d post a pic from a recent gig…not the greatest placement, but the WD800’s HPF way up at around noon really helped compensate. the pair more than filled the room…
