I saw this at Woodnet. I'm impressed by all the work that went into it! Bass speaker cabinet project

Very cool and lots of work! I'd have to be retired before I'd tackle something like that. I'd rather build a bass, just because. That design is also incredible. I bet it sounds pretty good. I'd love to see the finished cab.

Nice workmanship... as Bill said, would be interesting to see the completed work...

When I worked (briefly - '82 - 6 weeks) for a cab and speaker manufacturer there were some exceptionally complex boxes they were making for Iron Maiden - all sorts of speaker sizes in a cab a bit bigger than a 4x12; all sparayed blue... they were also making Trace Elliot 2x12 combo shells, and "Martin" bins...

Reminds me of the folded horn I built in shop my freshman year of highschool - tons of dados and rabbets. I measured a Randall 1 -15 folded at H & H Music and backassward engineered it. It was a hell of project for kid just learning how to use power tools and took me half a year to complete. It sounded OK but was huge and must have weighed 90 lbs. I got an A and a hernia

I can't help but think that this cab might get heavy but I'm more than certain it sounded better than my old cab.

Check TecAmp. This German manufacturer has a cab as big as a Volkswagen Bus, called the Bad Cab, with 4x10, 2x12 and 2x15 in one cab! While you're there check the Pleasure Board and Pump. I tried it some times. Pure genius:)

Looks very "Amsterdam back streets", if you get my drift, Chris...

Gotta damit that that "BADCAB" is a lot lighter than I expected... what a monster, but I just don't think my Hiwatt would be up to the job...

I think my Hiwatt DR201 would sound great through a Badcab!!!!

It is relatively light. Neo dymium speakers, I suppose.

200 watts through a 2,400 watt cab... hmm...

Ah... an optimists soul...

at least the ohmage is ok...
