Dedmans 1x12 speaker cab

[stan]

sounds pretty good then, with that kind of colour it sounds like it need some old car chrome on it...

Sounds good Deddy and no doubt you will add your retro touches to it.

[Dedman]

cabinet done, ready for painting when I do the ES-2

[wokkaboy]

cabinet looks great Dedman, presume its pine frame and is the speaker mount plywood ?

how did you join the pine frame, nails and glue ?

is all the electronic side of the amp pre-built ?

[Dedman]

yup pine and ply, glued and screwed. Any amp can plug into it, it's a 20w Celestion Greenback in it. The speaker was in the first cab I built but I put a Jensen in there. Buggered if I know where I'm gonna put this LOL

[wokkaboy]

ah ok so this will run off an another amp ? Worry about where it will go after it's built, that's blokes sense isn't it ? haha

That 1 X 12 Cab is looking good Dedman, should sound pretty cool with that 20 Watt Celestion Greenback in it.

[wazkelly]

Looking good buddy and from those shots it appears more compact in size compared to your other speaker cabinet?

[Dedman]

yup much smaller, running out of space :P

[wazkelly]

Wow, lots of useful information and explains why modular PA bins migrated to trapezoid shapes rather than rectangular boxes. Agree with comments about Bass Cabs as they need to be made from much thicker and stronger material and lots come with ports and possibly tweeters as is the case on my 75w Hartke combo.

For guitar my personal preference is fully enclosed as it seems to produce a fuller sound but that can also tend to make them a bit directional too. Open back helps if you want a bit more headroom before things get too loud out front. Suppose I was spoilt playing through a slant front 4 x 12" quad box for all my gigging years and find it hard to reproduce that sound in something smaller.
