Looking for Tower Cans w/o Speakers

[chpthril]

I'm beginning to believe that there are only a handful of fab shops making 90% of these for everybody! I need to get to that source. I need to buy a quality can cheap enough to make a small markup (yes, i'm in the biz to make .........shhhhhhhhhh a profit ) and still be able to resell them at a competitive price.

Phil did you get that word doc list? Still having email issues with this backup laptop

Hey CHP, almost everyone sells the DIY cans as their own, gotta love it. I had those on the Tigé and they work very well. Realize that they are a two piece affair can and clamp that's unique in that in some cases like mine i didn't need the clamps. Also even though they are classed as a 6.5" can most 6.5" grills will fall short and you'll have to do something like i did to hide the unpolished exposed edge. Or find a custom grill to cover it. See pic below ... BTW the owners name is Raoul and he's pretty cool.

Anyone else have any other ideas? Thanks to those that have posted, thats w pretty good list of can makers distributors. A couple of them that I like, I had already talked to and they dont sell wholesale, so nothing to work with there. Nothing on my plate today, so maybe by the end of the day I will have found one I like that I can do biz with

I read the title of this thread and immediately thought of my wife and her sister sitting on the boat tower and me thinking "GREAT SETS OF CANS"
