Does anyone have any information of their products? 

We have 4 of their tops, twin 12 mid and 2 inch hf. All fitted to a big fibreglass horn. Fairly sure they are not fully original, it would be really useful to have some more info. I am guessing some original brochure link may be too much to ask for. But you never know.

I had a pair of these loaded with jbl 2206's and a 2" cd. The 'phase bungs' serve no purpose at all other than a selling point. Other than that okay sounding and built like brick shite houses by some bloke up north from what I gather. Not allot of infomation about them I found, and not many around if you intend on buying more than you have.

Ours do not have the bungs and are Fane loaded with 1 x Fane 2 inch and 3 x PAudio 2'' HF. 

Not really looking for more, just trying to explain to a friend that they were a pro build and not home made.

Yours sound like a different design to mine. They were never diy by any standards, sorry if it read that way. I think I remember seeing your design on eBay a while back. I ran mine above PD loaded folded horns and my old 1850 loaded cubos. Sounded mean, probably a few pics on here somewhere!

It is fine, I do not think they are home made. The fibre glass horn is far from home made. 

I was hoping for a product list.

I recall there were a lot of those around Sheffield ten years ago. 2x12, 2" and sometimes a couple of bullets. Efficient but a bit abrasive indoors I thought.

Edit: maybe they were w&t ultrasonics if they're trap. Production services ones I'm thinking of might be big square ones that I know are still in use in Bradford at the mill.

Production service ltd are long gone but I believe they were based in Cambridge.

Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Once you have, call him what you like, you're a mile away and you've got his shoes!

You are speaking About sound projects. Also into hornloaded systems, but a different company.
Used one of their systems on a float this year with great results.

They were originally based in Hull which is where most of the trapezoidal 2x12+2" were built along with matching subs and a full range cabinet--Quite nice boxes actually as they formed a good modular system with the interlocking feet and top battens.A lot of their boxes were Selenium loaded and did sound nice at that time.
The company was resurrected a few years later based in South Wales IIRC building a silly Line Array system that never worked loaded with Oberton drivers and they also sold quite a few of these OEM drivers to the trade as they were a good cost effective unit at that time.
