Members perceive Posted October 1, 2007 Members Share Posted October 1, 2007 ORIGINALLY POSTED IN THE DIY FORUM .... Building a cabinet for guitar amp heads and rackI have a rough idea how I want to do this...But I will ask here for advice anyway..I am looking at building a cabinet for two guitar heads, and a 12 RU unit. What sort of material would you use and how would you do it? (Yes I am aware that there are people in the US who do this sort of thing... but the .au company I found that did never responded to my quote request.. so I will do it myself and have some fun with it!) ADDITIONAL INFO:The cabinet I am building, will house the two aleady existing heads and also rack rails.Similiar to the photos you see for some people rigs, this will allow space for my current Hiwatt head, marshall head, and most likely 12 RU.It will need wheels.Aluminium edging would be good.Packing foam will exist between the heads and the actual cabinet.I was thinking actually more along the lines of: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/...&postcount=152 Hope this makes more sense!

Members tats_dragon Posted October 1, 2007 Members Share Posted October 1, 2007 That link doesn't work.Building a rack is not as critical as a speaker cab. Depends on how you want the lids configured. How professional do you want it to look? Hope you hired some roadies for this 200lbs+ rack.

Members Koa-Dogg Posted October 2, 2007 Members Share Posted October 2, 2007 I've built both a rack and a speaker cabinets. In fact I just finished building my rack the other day. It's not the conventional looking rack but I like it. The rack is made from 3/4" plywood from a local supply store (Lowe's) and Poplar wood to build up the face. The speaker cabinets were made from 5/8" baltic birch plywood and dimensionally equivalent to Marshall cabinets. All joints were done by finger jointing. If you have an specific questions, I can answer them for you. I hope you have the tools to do it, because it would be difficult to do it you don't, or at least the traditional way.
