Nice build! Congrats!

You have my address na, right? 

Yup! 

Nice build!  Thanks for sharing!

BTW, Where will you be sourcing your tolex bro? Is it available locally?

Probably sa mga local upholsetry shops lang. It's actually different from the tolex used sa mga amps, pero it will do.. wala yata available locally na tolex na pang amp talaga. Need to order pa sa abroad.

So pretty, huhuhuhu.

Bro, we actually put it thru its paces today and yesterday. We used a Laney IRT Studio head. If I must say, ang ganda ng tunog and it can hold its own with th big boys. 

Will be uploading a video soon.

Would love to test my head amp build on those cabs!

Feel free to visit our place. Or if mapapadaan ako sa area niyo, I'll let you know so I can bring the cab for you to try out..

Pero both cabs, although similarly built, sound different kasi magkaiba speaker. Malaking factor pa rin yung voice ng speaker and goes hand in hand with the design and dimensions of the cab.

[titser_marco]

Of course, of course. Will definitely visit when I get the time.  The head cab is at Pinoy Penguin studios along Kamuning now and if you rehearse there, just ask for the blue amp and he'll show it to you. Feel free to test drive your cab on it!

Hey guys, if you're looking for birch plywood you can try here: http://www.filtratimber.com/

Their facebook page popped in my news feed and upon a friend's inquiry they said they have these sizes in BB/C grade:

3mm x 1525mm x 1525mm
6mm x 1220 x 2440mm
12mm x 1220 x 2440mm
18mm x 1525 x 1830mm

Price for the 18mm board is 3700 plus vat. That's the only price I know dahil yan lang tinanong ng friend ko.  Office nila sa 5F Yupangco building. Of all places!

Happy building!

Bro, thank you for the info.. This is gold for DIYers.. But wow, 3700 plus vat for a 5'x6' board.. it's definitely on the premium side.. Halos times 3 ang presyo compared sa usual marine plywood. Need to seriously hone woodworking chops and utilize my tools better before jumping on these.

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. 

alright! let me know bro kung ready ka na mag accept hehe. May 2x10 ako dito na vertical, pa re-house ko soon sayo hehe. t

Ang ganda 

[changedmynametojimi]

How much would this project costs? I have a 212 with mix speakers and I love it's tone now, but curiosity and finding out the sound in 112 is gaining on me...eminence screaming eagle and the governor btw

With my last computation, my materials and consumables we're already roughly at the 3,500 mark per cabinet.

Not much update as of late..been out of town the past week and was busy with other stuff. Still waiting for the covering for the amp and finding a suitable grill cloth to complete the look.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Fired up the cabs a few weeks ago on our mini tone party. Will be uploading a video. We used a Laney IRT Studio for a head.

AGGGH when are you going to offer this as a service, ahahaha! I'm thinking of having the head amp I built rehoused in an open back 4x10 style cab.

[vegetablejoe]

Multi-stacked squarish cabs look awesome! They sure would have saved me some space in my cramped cubicle vs. my rectangular cabs!

Fully working and useable as of now.

Still trying to come up with a good design for the front grill....

Hahahahaha!! You have speakers na for the cab sir? Mahirap ata mag source out ng 10" guitar speakers dito sa atin..

Yup! That's how Mesa designed it..

One cab, I actually flipped so it'll be more rectangular. My plans changed and I'm using it with a head that matches the longer side of the cab..

[skrumian]

Sir, saan ka nakabili ng handle ng cab?

[r_chino18]

Sir, saan ka nakabili ng handle ng cab?

Sa Audiophile sir. Parang nasa 110php bawat isa.

[titser_marco]

I'll probably use the Crown JackHammer series. Really heavy speakers but they sound pretty good. My theory is that they modeled it after the Electro-Voice EVM series.

The head for the cabs has finally arrived...

Nice! Does it have output jacks for each speaker? Congrats man!

[r_chino18]

Yes bro. You can run two 8 ohm cabs simultaneously.

Where will you buy grill cloth for your cabs?

Not yet decided if I'll order abroad, use regular cotton cloths, or improvise with other materials.. Been slow with these cab projects lately.. Coz I'm already using them as is in my room. Haha! Still waiting for my tolex/leatherette to cover them before I actually proceed to the next step which is the grill.

[skrumian]

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?

Cloth must be sonically transparent. Raise the cloth against the light. You should see what is on the other side.

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