Worst case scenario , I wanna put aluminum screens na lang para madali i-source. Pwede din namang weave parang yung nasa party rattan chairs.

Hey men, sorry to hijack your thread.

But can I use kind of cloth like cotton or anything thick fabric? Will that affect the sound or air movement?

No worries bro.. On my very first build, I bought a cotton cloth (black...with white straipes para hindi plain looking). It wasn't too thick, pero hindi rin too thin. Tinupi ko siya para magdouble yung kapal then stretched it very tightly against the baffle para hindi siya mag droop or mag sag or mangulubot.

I believe, magiging sobrang laki lang ng effect ng cotton kung sobrang kapal na.. think twalya. Pero hindi naman siguro natin para lagyan ng twalya yung harap ng cab. Haha!

For me, it's more of protection sa mismong speaker from dust and outside elements na pwedeng maka damage sa speaker cone. :)

can i ask? magkano sir pagawa ng ganyan? mga 1x12? hehehe thanks po!

Hindi pa po ako nagttake ng orders sir.. Pero if ever, you may be looking at around 6-8k for an unloaded 1x12 cabinet.

Black cotton cloth + aluminum screens! \m/

Iniisip ko na yang aluminum screen (diamond pattern) nung isang araw. Was looking at one of our doors very closely. As for the rattan chair weave (sulihiya), mixed emotions ako.. I've tried inquiring before sa mga local sulihiya makers sa furniture shops, may required design and thickness sila nung mismong pagmmountan nung sulihiya eh.. Kasi malakas daw tension nun pag ginagawa so important na dapat matibay yung frame.. On a cabinet point of view, hindi masyado maganda to go that route kasi papanget lalo itsura with the oversized and thick grill frame..

May nabibili sa labas ng bansa na sulihiya mats na pwede gamitin at ikabit sa grill. Mas ok yun.. Kaso I don't want to spend too much for that.. Looking at more economical options na similarly effective.. :)

Ayos siguro ang Pashmina. Hehehe. Hihingi ako kay misis yun medyo makapal at okay ang designs.

Hey Chino,

Just an idea and looking for you're opinion re: grill cover alternatives:

How about black porous sponge-like materials? I remember some high-end hi-fi speaker cabinets in the 80s having them.

I have no idea where to get them bro. Hahahaha! Pero may naiisip na akong pwedeng pang front look ng cab na ito. :)

Re: grill, you can try perforated (think Carvin Legacy 3 but without the funky pattern) or expanded (Carvin Legacy 1) steel sheets. May nakikita ako sa OLX at suppliers sa yellow pages.

Been a long project. Busy towards mid year up until the last quarter. But I managed to finish the cabs around late November.

Slapped a Mesa MC-90 (Celestion Classic Lead 80) in it and she screams with my other heads. Currently using it as a 1x12 cab for a 1987 Marshall Lead 12. Thinking of converting the Marshall combo to a matching head when time permits. :)



Tough luck... Ran out of cream tolex, so I had to use what's left that's available; gray.







Paisley for my grille cloth.

Nice! Meron sa Divi at Raon ng mga "leatherette", gamit sa upholstery. Pwede na siya gamitin for covering, pero hanapin mo yung mejo makapal sir.

Thank you sir Marco. Last na muna ito for now. Yung 2x12 na slant naka tengga pa rin. Hahaha. Iniisip ko gawin na lang sya na 2x10 pero di ko alam san may magandang 10" locally.

Ganda, Chino! Bagay sa amp ko! Christmas gift mo sakin?  :-D

Jojo, anong amp mo ngayon? Punta ka LB minsan! Jam (noodling) tayo nina Ray V.  :wave:

I still have the same ones, bro. Para kasing nawala na ang GAS ko  during the past 2 years. Seriously. Will inform you guys in advance kung papunta ako dyan.

sir, gumamit ka ba ng masilya? ano recommended mo?
at anong braces ang ginamit mo? just the regular half inch by half inch?

Re: your paisley grill cloth - Is that tela only? I really like the way it looks.

Yes, it's tela wrapped over the removable grill frame.. Tatlong patong ito na stetched very well para magkaroon ng kapal at stiffness.

Medyo lie low rin ang GAS ko though may pasulpot-sulpot every now and then, just to kill the monotony.  :-D


sir, gumamit ka ba ng masilya? ano recommended mo?
at anong braces ang ginamit mo? just the regular half inch by half inch?

Yes, I do. Just to fill the small voids and dents sa wood, para pag binalutan or nilagyan ko ng sealer ay closer to flat yung surface. Try mo sir yung ready to apply na wood filler ng Elmer's. Ok rin yun if you plan on covering the cab later on.

For braces, masyado maliit sir and 1/2 x 1/2 inch.. at least 1 x 1 inch or 1 1/2 x 1 inch.. best kung meron 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch.

Pero actually, pag naka dovetail joints ka na, di na masyado kailangan ng braces. YKahit yun na lang for the speaker baffle and back panel(s). Haha. Habit ko na lang siguro lagyan pa rin for the extra assurance. Saka sayang yung mga tirang kahoy.  :lol:

yes yun brace for baffle and back panel lang. iniisip ko kse baka bumigat na yun uno por uno.

baka makascore ako ng marine playwood kse at dahil mawawalan ako ng trabaho meaning maraming free time eh iproject ko na lang ganito. ang problema ko lang wala ako bandsaw para pantay ang pagkahahati ng plywood.

Problem rin kasi if masyado maliit yung brace, ang hirap naman pakapitan ng screw from the baffle and back panel. Too close na kasi sa edge.

Ok lang yan sir. Wala rin ako bandsaw or jigsaw. Pero mas mapapabilis nga ang trabaho kung meron. or better, table saw.  :wave:
