Members Dale2 Posted June 25, 2009 Members Share Posted June 25, 2009 I have built several. But, I only go solid wood as there is no reason to build anything ply for what you can buy them. It is a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members redstar audio Posted June 25, 2009 Members Share Posted June 25, 2009 There are several companies (and Avatar is only one of them) that will sell you a baltic birch 1x12 cheaply. AB Custom Audio (www.abcustomaudio.net) is one of them, for $89. At that price, frankly, you must really want to deal with the effort and headache.But, if you really want to do it, you'll probably not loose a finger. Loose your patience? Maybe... but not a finger.Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greg apocalypse Posted June 25, 2009 Members Share Posted June 25, 2009 Emerica - just fyi, it's going to cost you a lot less to just go Avatar or Lopo for something decent but cheap. However, you get a much better satisfaction out of building your own. It's really pretty simple, too (as far as construction goes). pm me if you have any questions about the build in general, or if you have questions about how I did mine. I have pics too.

Members Unstrung Posted June 25, 2009 Members Share Posted June 25, 2009 I say go ahead and do it, but do it all the way. Don't gather all the supplies and let it sit half done for years...Here is my own 1x12 DIY. I didn't really make it at all... it used to be a Peavey Basic 112. The amp broke down so I took that out, turned it on it's side and.....covered it in astroturf. THE ASTROTURD: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad my Astroturd left a mark (skidmark?) on you Greg. Yes, cover those Mesas. Astroturf is the {censored}! If I had a beat up used 4x12 I KNOW that it would become an astroturf nasty box.

Members Ancient Mariner Posted June 25, 2009 Members Share Posted June 25, 2009 Pine is fine for a 1X12. Just take your time, use google to find some designs and don't worry about covering it until you're happy with the sound and construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
