GROUP BUY INFORMATION - PLEASE READ
The only way to purchase a Man18S or raw driver is through our group buy program.
Group Buy is held every fiscal quarter:
This can happen at any time during the 3 month period, so we are treating each customer as an honest participant who is ready to buy.
Buy Window - the first two months of the quarter (see above).
Once the buy window is closed, invoices must be paid in order to complete the build. This is a mass quantity build and is put the build into the schedule.
Estimated shipping dates will be sent to each customer on the invoice.
Play by Play updates can be seen on our social media accounts, we strongly encourage all participants to follow our Instagram and Facebook accounts for content, setup ideas, and community.
If you want a product in time for a specific event or holiday, we recommend that you reserve 6-12 months in advance.
Whats in the box:
- Jan-March: Man18S with optional 18vX or 18vXR
- April-June: Man18S with optional 18vS
- July to Sept: Man18S with optional 18vX or vXR
- Oct-Dec: Man18S with optional 18vS
This can happen at any time during the 3 month period, so we are treating each customer as an honest participant who is ready to buy.

Whats in the box:
- Baltic birch enclosure - pre built
- Speaker feet
- Aluminum adhesive badge: "The Harbottle Audio Company"

- Harbottle T-shirt
- The driver chosen
- Prewired and assembled - yes, all you need to do is paint it.

- Primed enclosure - start at $175
- Painted enclosures start at $1000
- It is cheaper and more efficient for our customers to go to a painter that uses House of Kolor paints for their paint work.
- You can fill out a regular contact form and specify what group buy you want to reserve for up to 1 calendar year in advance, within the calendar year. For example, during 2021, you can reserve ahead of time for any buy during that year.
- If you reserve, you can expect an invoice at any time during the three month quarter, this includes the buy window.
- Invoices will include an estimated shipping date or date range.
- Payment is due when the invoice is received.
- If a group buy hits target sales, a second run will follow with a revision to the sales page. This means that the stock items that we have on hand (ply, motors, wire, terminal connectors, etc) are effectively at minimum stock quantities and require restocking and/or manufacturing, so the estimated shipping date will change.
- All participants are strongly encouraged to create their own YouTube videos, submit photos to Harbottle, and post publicly in social media groups and forums. This builds community and helps us understand our customers better.
- Everyone is encouraged to share the group buy information to help drive our prices down. The group buy is a "zero ad" project, this keeps prices at their lowest, and puts the power in the hands of our customers.
- The latest a payment can be made is 2 weeks after the "Buy Window" is closed. At that time, any non-payment customers will be removed from the group buy.
