Homemade 4X12 Black & Tan Cab

Riggage shot:

The speakers just got shipped. I just have to cut out the back, do the black tolex, staple up the grillcloth, duh, put in the strut, mount up everything, and whatever else.

Hey that's pretty cool!

Looks like that's going to come out really nice. What kind of speakers are you getting? WGS?

This grillcloth is a b!^{& to work with. Good finger exercise.

I'm getting better at doing the corners but this cab has plastic corner covers which conveniently cover up most of the corners.

I haven't put any feet or casters on it yet. I'm still deciding what to do with that.

I checked the speakers and wiring harness to make sure I got it hooked up in phase. Now I just need to fire it up and check it out.

Gorgeous work.

That looks really nice. Great job on the seams too!

Wow, that's a nice looking cab! Good job!

I forgot to put the white piping around the baffle. I was in a big rush.

No biggie though, I just found out the world's ending today anyway.

Beautiful cab, nicely done. What are those little black and tan combo looking jobs on the stands in the background?

Those are a couple of homemade 1x12 cabs that I use with my Rebel 20. One is a open backed narrow panel pine cab and the other is a Rebel 1x12 copy - closed back with a ported baffle. I use the open backed cab for lower volume playing and I add the closed back cab for higher volume playing.

That little Fender Blues Jr style cab in Black & Tan is just COOL!

Just curious, what size round-over bit did you use?

 

[sinfish]

great job! That looks awesome.

 

[Doubleneck]

Wow, that's an amazing task to take on. Looks like it came out great.

How does it sound?

Are you happy with it after all the hard work?

I used a 3/4" roundover bit.

I like the cabinet and it came out pretty nice.

It sounds good. Really clean and deep sounding. Now I know why they make those tight and bright swiches. I plugged it into my Rebel 20 and it was just way too much speaker for the amp. I plugged in the Renegade and cranked it up about half way or so and it was just really massive.
