    Too many cabs, but also not enough?

    So I, like many of you, have gone through the gamut when it comes to cabs. TL;DR: buy a barefaced 210s, quilter bass dock, or turn my failing KRK monitor sub into a 1x10? Started with a peavey 210tx combo which paid my way through school and was plenty fine for 14years of my time as a...

    Help with Pairing Orange Terror Bass With DIY 1x15 Cab

    I've been building my own 1x15 bass cab and have been trying to figure out how to wire the speaker to a jack box, as well as connecting to the terror bass properly. I'm confident in all the wattage and impedance lining up, it's more the connections I'm confused about. I've read that wiring a...

    speaker cabinet damping materials

    The materials that are added to sealed cabinets are described as doing two things. One is to reduce standing waves. The other is to lower the cab's resonant frequency (by increasing its apparent cubic volume). If that distinction makes sense to you, could you please talk about the materials...

    1x12 cab building

    I'm planning to build myself a 12" cab and I want to make sure I got everything about right. I've spent the last week scouring these forums and some others for tips and plans and I still have some uncertainties here. I'm looking to build as mobile a rig as possible using the ashdown ant or te...

    Bag End re-cover?

    Hi, All. I was just wondering if any of you knew of a source for the deep red rat fur Bag End users on their cabs. I've scored a pair of S15-Ds, one of which is a B I guess, and I kind of want to cover it to match. Dunno, just really like the look of the red. Ideas? Thanks for your input.

    Replacing jack plate

    I finally got my old Hartke VX215 back from a buddy who'd been storing it for years. I replaced the drivers with Emminence Kappalite 3015s back when I was in college. The jack plate is still the old Hartke plate with a single 1/4" connector. The back has a pcb that I'm not sure what it does...

    Mid-century cab rebuild

    Magnavox stereo cabinet, that is. I see it as an old piece of furniture that's pretty cool. Brought this home from my parents house thinking I could make a bass cab out of it. The grill area in front will accommodate 2 ea 8-in drivers on each side, the ends will hold a 10-in with room to...

    Lightweight 15 sub cab build

    Hi, I would like to build a cab to pair it with my genz benz shuttle 6.2 12T. The Genz Benz cab is great, but I need more power and low freqs when I gig outdoors. I am thinking about a Fearful 15 sub, because the speaker (eminence kappalite 3015LF) sensitivity is 98,4dB and the shuttle2 12T...
