i found this site called speakerbits, but they don't carry the inductors i need. they only have them in 16 guage, and they are off by .03mHy (not sure if that matters much).

i'm looking for solen

2 2.40 mHy inductor wound of AWG #14 solid

2 .30 mHy inductor wound of AWG #14 Litz wire

2 .20 mHy inductor wound of AWG #14 Litz wire

i'd really prefer not to have to order from canada.

thanks guys.

Ordering from Canada isn't bad, especially from Solen. There's no problem with shipping and no delay or extra expense from customs. I've done it several times with absolutely no problems--and they're nice folks.

there are extra expenses according to their website

  • U.S. Custom Requirements:

    Companies must provide their Income Revenue Service Number and

    individuals must provide their Social Security Number .

    U.S. Custom Duty:

    There is a 1.2% Custom Duty charge on inductors, a 4.9% Custom

    Duty charge on loudspeaker parts and a 10% Custom Duty

    charge on capacitors imported in the U.S.A. to be paid by the

    customer when he receives his order.

    Mail Orders of less than US$ 1250.00:

    A US$ 5.00 U.S. custom processing fee and a US$ 3.40 post office

    charge to be paid to the Post Office when you receive your

    order.

    UPS Orders of less than US$ 1250.00:

    A US$ 2.00 U.S. custom merchandise processing fee and a US$ 17.50

    custom broker charge to be paid to the Custom Broker

    when you receive your order.

Well, I don't know what all the gibberish is for -- I order from them quite often and have never had to worry about any of that stuff.

I'm calling in an order next week, and if you don't want to mess with it just send me the money and I'll order the parts for you.

You're building ALKs I see. Go with 12AWG on that air core for the woofer -- 10AWG if you can afford it.

hey that would be great, dean. can i send you a money order? my paypal account is down to a $40 or so dollar limit without verification.

also, would you mind ordering the two caps i need as well? i priced out the following and decided to go with the 12 guage inductor like you said. the #10 @ $50 each seemed a bit too pricey :(

2 2.40 mHy inductor wound of AWG #12 solid $63.18

2 .30 mHy inductor wound of AWG #14 Litz wire $18.38

2 .20 mHy inductor wound of AWG #14 Litz wire $15.14

2 39 uFd. +-5% Solen "Fast Cap" $19.80

2 6.2 uFd. +-5% Solen "Fast cap" $5
