DIY 2x12 cab...sounds huge!

[::XeS::]

Hi
Finally I "finished" my guitar cab!
The size is the same of the Laboga 212F...it's a little bigger than a normal 2x12.
I espected a lack of bass but this piece of shit has a lot of bass!
Today I only tested the sound but I have to cover all the cab, fix the handles, put some acoustic foam into it, etc...

This is a photo:

Thats thing is huge.

Lets hear something after you've finished it...

fuck man...i've been considering a custom 1x12 or 2x12 for a while now

now i want to do it even more

You need time to do the all the work, but it's worth the effort

 

[colonel kurtz]

yea...time is one thing i don't have a lot of

i've also been much more interested in spending what extra $$ i have on preamps, comp's, mics, etc.

What speakers are in there?

Im thinking of doing this also. Just havent desided what speakers to put in it. Also what did you make it out of?

Give up your specs man.

I'd say V30's

With that size you could have just made it a 4x12 haha.

That's cool, post those samples

Yeah it's oversized...but a 4x12 should be heavier and 200€ more expensive. (The bogner 2x12 oversized is 10cm higher so...mine is in the middle of a 2x12 and a bogner 2X12 oversized )
Speakers are v30 rear mounted.
The wood is 18mm plywood and the size is based on this one:

Now I'm thinking about the front grill/cover...I thought to do a metal grill Krank's style but it's not easy....

Maybe chrome plated chicken wire would do?

Anyway.. for who said that my cab is very big..

What is the benefit of having acoustic foam in there? My quad has none, so should i get some for it?
