Would it be possible to order the head case in a different color, say purple elephant? :D

Cool as hell. Would you sell the chassis and front/rear panels seperately from the kit? Prices? Though, if the PTP board is special just for the kit, then I'd probably need that too.

And what feet is on the headcase?

Thanks 8)

Hey guys, I have been working with my suppliers to get some of the parts specific to the MV kit at better rates. I had to commit to a ton of each part, but I am able to get the price down to $1,099, just like the plexi 100W kit. I really think that $1100 is the right price point for a DIY 100 watt kit. of course, the price can be higher if you select add-ons and upgrades.

I'm going to change the price in the store right now. And I'll see what incentive I can come up with for those ho order before the May 15th shipping date.

Thanks,

george

I can sell the panels and chassis separate. I'll have panels later this week. The 100W MV board kit will fit in the chassis no problem.

I went with standard feet on these headcabs due to the cost involved to use OEM Marshall sprung feet, but we can upgrade to Marshall feet. I'll work out the cost.

George, don't forget to keep us updated on the status of the white script MetroAmp logos. This is awesome!

The sprung feet are nice, but you don't want them if you will be putting the headcase on a B cabinet as alot on here do. Because the sprung feet will slide around.

I haven't seen those type of feet before though.

It looks like they put something under the feet to take a picture.

Yeah, I just use some old cab feet to prop the chassis up.

here are some new pics. This is the prototype we'll have at the show this weekend.
