Amoy stereo!

Haha sadly, isa lang speaker ko na nakatabi.. kaya problema pa yung isang cab kung ano ilalagay ko..

Mga gaano kabigat to pare?

Pag tapos na bro, saka ko timbangin.. mejo may kabigatan rin siya.

For more info regarding the Santa Rosa plywood. http://www.zamboply.com/sh_portfolio/santa-rosa/
http://www.pinoyboats.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2448 . I think the most impt. in DIY cab making is the quality of the ply,
I've tried some pine cabs nag shine talaga xa for a clean to early breakup but sa high gain I prefer non-resonant material like birch ply or MDF,
pero yung Birch ply wala talag akong mahanp locally may nag offer sa akin pero in a bulk order.

@ sir chino pa document naman sa wiring nyo sir I'm pretty noob in soldering yung sa aking kaibaigan ko nag wiring binigyan kulang xa nang schematics, ano gamit mo for the input jacks sa cable speaker?

Agree ako sa findings mo bro.

Solid cab balak ko for a "clean-ish" style head and play, hanggang light OD... dahil sa pag resonate ng cab.

Tapos syempre, plywood or MDF pag dating sa mga heavier stuff or generally the majority of genres.

Wiring will depend sa impedance na habol mo for your build. I can do yung may switch pag sa 2x12.. kung parehong 8 ohms ang speaker, pwede mag lagay ng switch and select a 16-ohm or 4-ohm total impedance.

Pero since 1x12 ang ito, very straight forward lang ang gagawin ko. Isang input jack lang.. Or pwedeng dalawa so I can hook up two cabs in parallel.. Switchcraft ang jacks na gamit ko.. Tapos yung sa speaker naman, any speaker cable from 14-18 AWG.. the thicker, the better.

Spent a whole night fixing the broken image links dun sa previous DIY threads ko. Haha.
DIY Cab build #2 (2x12 Bandmaster style)
DIY Cab Build #3 (2x12 modified Twin Reverb style)

I've used regular cotton cloth (folded in two para makapal and stretched very well habang nilalagay sa baffle), pero on my Twin Reverb cab build, I eventually ordered the correct Fender silver grill cloth outside Pinas.

Minsan sa sobrang hassle maghanap ng grill cloth at tolex, naiisip ko mag solid wood cab build na lang tapos see-thru finish. Haha. Mapapagastos lang ako sa kahoy at kailangan malinis na malinis ang gawa para maganda tingnan.

Ive seen a lot of see thru finishes sa web. One sample can be seen on Premier guitar's rig rundown of the band Brand new yung 2x12 nila natural finish pero mukhang kelangan ng sobrang smooth na surface to make it look great and attractive. Thanks sa link rei. Mareview nga para sa tips

Yup, from mesa boogie rin, dami nila mga exotic wood na cabs.

Thanks, yung favorite build ko was probably the Twin Reverb style. Medyo compact lang kasi sya. Haha. Probably my cleanest too.

Pero sana maging mas malinis itong Recto style build.

I'm sure it will. Every build is an upgrade from the previous mas maraming experience mas lalong gumaganda yung gawa. Ganda nga nung twin reverb style. Sakto sa DSR mo lalo na ginawa mo pang silver grill ung sa dsr.

Tama! Every build may bago rin akong approach na ginagawa. In the process, may bago akong natututunan lagi..

Update.... Cut my braces and test fitted them. These braces will be for the back panel. I'll be using a thinner back panel, 1/2" marine ply will be used. Made sure that they fit tightly before gluing, screwing, and clamping.

r_chino18 · « **Reply #32 on:** February 05, 2016, 09:43:17 PM »

Will be filling the voids on one panel...

r_chino18 · « **Reply #33 on:** February 09, 2016, 08:45:13 PM »

Update.. was on the fence if I should add braces for the inner corners. The dovetail joint was plenty enough to stabilize the whole cab, but I've got some left over wood brace which I didn't want to throw away... Oh well.. might as well use them.

r_chino18 · « **Reply #34 on:** February 09, 2016, 08:51:32 PM »

Corners were rounded off as well..

After a first pass with the router..

Got some wood burns on the corner..

After some quick sanding with 80-grit to smoothen the rounded corners..

r_chino18 · « **Reply #35 on:** February 10, 2016, 08:34:50 PM »

Cut out the holes. Using 3/4" marine ply for the baffles.

r_chino18 · « **Reply #36 on:** February 10, 2016, 08:39:37 PM »

Grain filler on the edges and on some spots.. mock up with the baffles.. starting to look like proper cabs..

Thanks bro. Yup. I'll do a provision where both cabs can be connected (in parallel) and be used simultaneously with one head ala 2x12.

SIDE PROJECT...

I have a 10-watt Blackstar ID Core which I use in my shop and find to be decent sounding for the price.. However, I'm being limited by the small 2.5" speakers. Next to my trusty Roland JC-20 with 5.25" speakers, the Blackstar sounds too small.

Thanks to Mark (piekey) for the assist with the new speakers.. I opted to replace the stock 2.5" speakers with bigger 5.25". I didn't want to massacre the original MDF baffle in the process so I decided to just make a new baffle for the Blackstar.

Night and day difference with the sound dispersion. It sounds a lot bigger and fuller despite the low wattage. Not much cone cry and speaker breakup as well.

Sweet builds already, man.

Gotta drop by your shop sometime in my future.

Huhuhu, if you end up selling the 1x12s let me know!

Thanks bro. Hope to meet you soon as well. You still have your DSR? I'm itching for a vintage Fender again.. Probably a 50w Blackface Bassman..

Hey bro.. I only have one speaker in my reserve so it will most definitely go to one of the cabs.. The other one is an extra build.. A friend of mine has first dibs with it, pero no pressure kung kunin niya or not after ko matapos pareho.. If di niya kunin and you want to check it out, I'd be more than willing.

Good one bro. It's intended to be placed as pictured. Longer side up.

Here's a reference pic of how they're supposed to stack when done.

Hey bro... I've actually been getting a few inquiries already.. Maybe, just maybe, it can push through.. Tapusin ko lang muna itong cab builds ko ngayon so I can sort out the costing.

Still a lot of problem with supplies lalo na pag finishing na.. Tolex, grill cloth, metal coners, etc.. So dun lang talaga sa part na yun magkakatalo, kung ok ba sayo na naka tolex pa or bare (painted) na lang. Hehe.

Pero tingnan natin how my current builds hold up when done. I'll be more than willing for you guys to try out my builds muna bago kayo magpagawa. Haha.

Measured my speaker on the baffles and marked the holes for mounting.
