Found them. I'll try to post more later. FWIW, after hundreds of gigs and rehearsals I still uses this 2-10, and the 1-12 cabs I built.

Glad to hear that the ZacLite is still going strong. I remember the build thread, I'm not particularly technical, but I could understand your explanations of your design choices.
Have there been any changes in the past 10 years that would significantly alter how you build ZL 2.0 or that lower production costs enough to make it marketable to a wider range of players?

Hey, what up Dan! If I build again I'd definitely mount my corner protectors differently. I've lost a few over the years and had to remount them. I'd recess the handles too so they don't take such a beating. I'd also like to experiment with using molds and 2 part foam for the core. That may make them more economical Other that that they've been flawless, and they've taken a lot of abuse.
Not sure what brand I got, but they were the super cheap ones. Probably only a few dollars a piece. I bought more that I need, tested the response of each one, and then picked out the best ones for the array. Not sure why, but the response smoothed out nicely in the array compared to individual. Maybe not the best for vocal monitor duty, but plenty good for adding some high end to bass guitar.
