GIK alternatives

Hey Guys wanted to let you all know that as of today we quoting any new orders to ship out in about 3 weeks. It really has been a hell of a last 2.5 months but feel we are almost out of the weeds. I am sure we may hit a few walls but feel we are on the best footing we have seen in a long time. I want to thank you all for the emails, messages and just comments. Please keep them coming. I starting GIK back in 2004 just for the love of music just like you guys and happy to still be part of it. BTW we are also going to be doing the QRDs that someone else talked about but we will be having them build in our European plant and stocked here. We should be able to ship those out as soon as they are ordered once we have them in stock. I will keep you all in the loop on that. 

Thanks again!

I’m smiling at your responsiveness and recovery. All due success.

@glennkuras Good luck! I'm so excited about some Qrds and any other diffusion products. (I just can't find the time to build my own Skyline.)

This week, I received the 2 Soffit bass traps I ordered back in January.  They were shipped 4.5 weeks later than originally scheduled, but I was told this 4.5 weeks ago, so I have no issue with the delay.

I'm underwhelmed by the build quality.  Perhaps my expectations were too high.  3 of the 4 wooden caps were dislodged, with most of the stables bent/mangled, some at a 90 angle.  I was able to straighten them enough to secure the caps back on to the traps, but they're not very secure.  I don't think stapling a piece of wood into foam is ever gonna work very well.

The fabric is also stapled at the seam.  The staples are not aligned, some are sticking out, and some bent.  Again, I'm not sure staples are the best way to hold the fabric in place.  On the bottom edge of one trap, the fabric is frayed and has a bit missing.

Having said that, most of these flaws aren't noticeable once the traps are situated in place, but I would definitely pay more to have traps that were more robustly constructed.

Hey Gordon. Let me know if we need to replace anything. We are actually making the soffits completely different with the end caps sunk into the frame. With Fedex throwing things around way more we modified it for just the reason you pointed out. Please let me know if I can further help with these.
