so the generic 12 spoke and venezuela baskets are just for the startup companies who can't yet afford to manufacture their own specific to their respective subs.

all this time i thought it was just for the subs serious about sound with no frills.
i guess RE is doin pretty good. i expect adire to follow suit then.

I liked the looks of the first gen XXX myself, but I still may try a pair of these in the AP box to see what the differecne is.
Are the second gen XXX still XBL^2?

I haven't really followed the changes.

any chances we might be able to sneak a peak of that enclosure, glass (in the "installs" forum perhaps)?
i was looking at the http://www.elitecaraudio.com/article.php?sid=18 site , and it really didn't convey what a true aperiodic enclosure should look like. was considering building one once i'm finished with my "flashy inverted" phase.

It will be. I heard some numbers being thrown around....I wanna say it was in the 600-700 dollar range. Not 100 percent positive though.

Mike, there's not much to see with the finished box, since the drivers are hidden by the membranes.
here's some more info on AP boxes:

actually, theres a follow up on this on the Sound Domain forums i think, not sure. but anyway.. its supposed to be a couple hundred more(give or take) and weigh less.... but i read that at the beginning of the year or so. but if someone can find the page about it (over 20 pages i think) on the SD forum then post it(again not 100% if its SD though).
