Domino Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Thats nice, anyway, wouldn't better for it to have handles in sides not on the top, because normally thats the place where you put your amp :-) Good luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also makes it easy to carry! It is a very compact portable cab!Dont most Heads come with feet anyway? Thanks for the comment tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbage Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 if you'd posted this last week I might not have started building the 2x12 cab I currently have half finished in my shed!! I might get back to you if mine turns out crap! Hope you get a good price for it, looks real nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might get back to you if mine turns out crap! Hope you get a good price for it, looks real nice!bugger just my luck! Just a word of warning, you need to be carefull with the dimentions of the cab. I was going to build my own also but got tald that it needs to be corectly sized or something. Anyway back to MY CAB hehe.Just a spir of the moment thing, dont really want to sell it as it is SO nice but its not getting used and im a student so money is always tight.It looks looks stunning, it has a real woven wicker front.If anyone is interested then it can be viewed/played!*** forgot to mention it does have ONE tiny nick in the cover, its about the size of the end of a pen and on the back. Hardly noticable and could be hidden easiely with black ink*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbage Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 is your cab normally closed at the back then? Yeah, from what i've read closed back cabs have to have a specific internal volume, be air tight and can be built to resonate at particular frequencies! my wood working skills arent quite up to building shit like that either so i've gone for a simple open backed design, its about the size of a 2x12 combo amp. was hoping to have it finished soon but when the speakers turned up i found one was 8 ohm and the other 16ohm! was the right box but containing the wrong speaker, suppose thats what you get for buying "quality" american products!!

IamScrooge Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 They dont *have* to be of a specific internal volume. If you mess around with some speaker designer software for a driver which works best in a closed box, you can see the trend the frequency response takes as you make the cabinet larger or smaller.If in doubt, all you need to do is calculate the internal volume of a production cab based on the speakers you intend to use.Simple And all without the horrid splay of gunk coming from the back of the cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Ascension Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 when you are building closed-back guitar cabs it isn't really important about the internal volume...If you play with "speaker cab design" software you will find that for an optimum cab volume it tells you to build one the size of an oil tanker or something lol...What you want to watch out for it building dimensions using even numbers... this MAY act to increase bad resonance and dampen frequencies so the only thing to remember is always use odd numbers, ideally use prime numbers and this will not be a problem! Odd numbers = no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
