Plywoodz!
Great stuff as always chino!
Alam ko nakapagbuo ka na ng similar projects dati using the same sort of plywood. Kamusta naman yung tunog lalo pag malakas? Ang laging sinasabi sa mga DIY forums ng speaker cabinet builders, hindi maganda yung plywood na may spaces sa loob dahil baka magkaroon ng di magandang resonance, or rattling dahil may loose sa loob. TIA!
Thanks Jolo!
Interesting question... I actually wanted to use MDF for this build, pero I don't have the proper tools pa to cut it properly, alam ko alanganin yun gamitan ng handsaw eh.. Would love the get hold of some void-free baltic birch ply, pero ang alam kong source ay medyo malayo and it's certainly not cheap.
I got lucky with this plywood (acquired late last year), konti ang voids niya compared sa mga iba kong naencounter earlier last year and nung 2014. Yun ang medyo mababa talaga quality, ampaw kung ampaw.
Of all the cabs I built, lahat sila iba-iba ng dimensions at iba-iba rin ang speakers na ginamit ko.. Though I never had any rattling issues sa kanila. I guess yung rattling will be more of how solid the construction is.
My 1st cab build, 1x12 Egnater Rebel size cab w/ a Celestion Rocket 50 is now with juwanfidel. He uses it with his Orange Dark Terror, alam ko gamit na gamit rin for recording.
My 2nd build was a 2x12 Fender Bandmaster size style 212.. eto medyo oversized cab and hindi niya nagustuhan yung Jensen Mod 12-70 speakers kasi hindi ma-drive nung speakers yung laki ng dimensions. Eventually put Eminence Governors which put the oomph in the cab. A fellow forumer got it and paired it with his Randall head. Match made in heaven raw.
My 3rd build was a 2x12 Twin Reverb style cab para dun sa Fender Dual Showman Reverb (Twin Reverb head) ko dati, it had a pair of Jensen Mod 12-70 speakers... now with the band Earthmover.
The 4th build was a 2x12 Bluesbreaker style cab which I used for a while with my amp head until I got a bigger cab for it..
Of them all, hindi ako naka experience ng rattling.. pero I must say na malaking factor ang matching ng speaker sa dimensions ng cab. Will probably get back with updated results when I finish this cab and fire it up with an amp.
And while they have been great cabs.. ibang-iba pa rin talaga ang level ng boutique cabs..
