Members jannda Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 http:// I have built many cabs thats what I do:D Is it hard? depends on how good your skills at wood working are and weather you have the right tools. As far as dimentioning goes you can just copy an exsisting cab or go from scratch and design your own I do both.If you design your own it can be a lot of work and dosn't always turn out sounding very good even if you do the math right. I use WIN ISD to help with the design peramiters.AND one thing to remember AND it's a big one ( YOU CAN"T IN MOST CASES BUILD ONE CHEAPER THAN YOU CAN BUY ONE ).http:// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nicolinadepapa Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 You will need more than some dimensions... good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TN.Frank Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 Should be pretty simple. Basically, you're just building an enclosure to hold your speakers, nothing too "rocket scientist" about that. Mount the speakers, hook em' up to a jack of somekind so you can plug in your amp, make sure they impedance is correct(i.e. 4 ohms, 8 ohms, ect.) for the amp and you should be good to go.

Members bassplayinguy Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 hwen you build a cab, you build it around the speaker. Find the speaker you want to use and go from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Smokinfiddler Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 what do youi have in mindI probably have plans for whatever you are wanting to build Building a cab is not hard at all but scoop and these sort of cabs can be somewhat more complicated than an average 2x12 or a 4x10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crescent Seven Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 Building anything but a 1x12 or a 1x15 is going to put the cost of the project way above the cost of buying the cab assembled. Don't let that discourage you, though, because if you do it right, you can end up with a cab that sounds alot better than a store-bought one. You just have to decide what you're in it for.I built mine out of boredom rather than necessity, and I learned alot...C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rippin' Robin Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 I'm converting a 4x8" to a 2x12" when I get my speakers in. Should be a lot of fun, and some good learning to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members One Bad Monkey Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 Now that I have an actual workshop in my basement, I was thinking of building another 1x12 that I could either run separately or in conjunction with my other one for a mini-stack.
