Are you going to build it frond or rear loaded?

 

[lekteri]

Front loaded.

 

[nwright]

Front loaded.

noooooooooo!

 

[lekteri]

noooooooooo!

Why?
My engl cab is front loaded and it sounds good.

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

Rectifier cabs are rear-loaded and sound great

 

[Mikaël-ange]

Good vs great

 

[lekteri]

I will leave option to change them rear mounted..

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

That'd be the smartest thing to do I'd say, and I'd LOVE to hear comparison clips between front- and rear-mounting the speakers when it's done! (just make sure they're all front- or all rear-mounted of course )

I changed my cabs from front loaded to rear loaded by reversing the T nuts...Best move I could have made for these cabs. I liked them before, now I like them even more.

Front mounted seems a bit more directional, slightly thinner/tighter I suppose. Rear mounted seems bigger, more room filling (better dispersion).

Probably all placebo, but I noticed a change that seemed pretty obvious when I did it.

I wonder of it matters when your close micing?

If a speaker is rearloaded, you automatically have the mic a couple of centimeters further away from the speaker ...

Looks great dude, are you using the same wood?(Birch)

How much did the build cost?
