Response from Jerry @ Eminence.

Hello,
we will no longer offer such a driver as a stock unit. If you want to buy in lots of 100 or more we can keep making it just for you.
Thanks,
mcJerry

I suppose it's worth mentioning that Eminence.com shows that they have 115 units of KL3012CX-8 12's in stock currently.

I just picked up another KL3012CX-8 from Parts Express to have a matching pair of these. They make great bass cabs and should work well as monitors for small acoustic jams.

Is that a custom design, or using the BFM Simplexx plans?

It’s my design, documented in Post #343 with as-built construction drawing with adjusted tuning in Post #347.

The KL3015CX voicing was a bit of a letdown and the KL3010CX was a non-starter for me, but the KL3012CX is the best model in the lineup. It has a well-balanced sound, takes a lot of power and delivers a real solid low end. It's too bad this one would be discontinued.
