this was such a great build until you throw in those shitty v30s. completely killed the vibe

100%. i am making one now using solid Walnut

im doing it now- some planning but not too bad really- fun.

+leftyfusion88 Yes, I remember that show! Nice guitar work in that instrumental.

Viking Poodle Thanks! And we are mighty jealous of your screen name.

I had 80s and early 90s TV series theme songs just running through my head as this video was playing lol.

lame

Indeed the corners requires that specific shape to be cut out in order to work. The big manufacturers just use templates so it's cut the same exact way, to that shape, every time.

I may have missed it, but did you cut a 90 degree "square" out for the corners? I did a project once that had curves, and I remember using triangular shaped relief cuts. Not too familiar with corners. Thanks for the reply!

The corners require a specific type shape, like an inkwell pen tip, in order roll smoothly over the routed edge and match up perfectly. There's a shot of the shape in the video.

Praxia Hm, speakers... Don't get me started!

Thanks!

***** What sort of screws did you use for the back panel? I'm in the process of hunting those screws to finish off my 2x12 build, and I'm not sure what they are called. Any ideas?

Jose Vidal, wow, nice work

Good catch! It's part of the soundtrack for Episode 6, which is what we were working on around the time we put this together.

Apparently they're re-booting that show. Crazy!

+Dale Hyder I was singing it in my head the whole time!

vinyl tubing was used to form a friction-fit compression gasket, so the grill can be removed, if needed. cheers.

Dovetail joints would be the way to go for sure, but that's a little higher than my pay grade. The interior bracing and screws make this box super strong though. And damn heavy!

@@troygrady how much is the final weight?

@@anthonysilva5312if u have to ask...too heavy.

Hi Tim. The measurements I gave in the article are just the exterior dimensions. I picked them by slightly upsizing the measurements of other cabs I own -- I'm totally ignorant to the acoustics science end of things!

Me too thanks for the reply troy.

@@TimSauersdid u build it finally...and?

yes. outside is slightly better

I think that's just the way the cabs I have are all built, so that's what I copied. Except for the Cornford 2x12 -- that's front-loaded. But the speakers are glued in and I couldn't get them out! :)

I don't remember! But the irony is that you can definitely buy completed cabs, especially used ones, for less than it would cost to buy high-quality materials yourself.

Ok, cool. Thanks for the response. If you had all of the needed tools(electric drill etc) would it then work out cheaper than buying a new Marshall cabinet for example? Marshall cabinets are very costly(500 Euros plus)! It would be great if I could make one cheaply that would more or less be of the same quality as the Marshall. Thanks!

its mostly the speaker

mattia dicorato Hi Mattie -- 4:36 is the end of the video. Not sure which white component you are referring to!

all spkrs have a sensitivity rating at 1 watt. usually between 94-101dB's. dont play loud trust me. my ear rings 24/7= 15 years. it will never stop

WHERE COULD I BE -LA LA LA

This song was also the title music the "The Greatest American Hero" way back when...

Coco Mandrake I didn't know that -I'll have to check it out- however, the George version is great

lol...the George version totally is great, man. :)

Lars de Waardt Hi Lars! It's a good question, and somewhat confusing answer. Generally people call this "Tolex", but that was actually a specific brand name for a company that is no longer around. People still say it though, just like we say "Coke" and "Jell-O". Technically it's just "textured vinyl covering", which isn't as catchy. The material I'm using here is sold by MojoTone and it is called "Black Levant Tolex". "Levant" may be the name of the specific pattern on the material. But I'm not totally sure of that!

***** Thank you very much for your quick reply. I found it:-) www.mojotone.com/amp-parts/tolex-tweed-brand-british-style I knew there had to be more types but never realized there would be so many.

+Troy Grady didn't know tolex was a proprietary eponym!

+e james ...and pine + Celestion = Cornford. That's my amp, and that's how they built their cab that came with it. But that's not why I chose these speakers. For more on the speaker tone analysis question you can check out the article we wrote to accompany the video: troygrady.com/2014/02/04/hail-the-cab-building-a-custom-2x12-cabinet/

Haha, thank you e james for outlining the rules!

Actually the opposite. Once the glue cures, it fuses the vinyl with the wood. If you pull it off, you'll rip out chunks of plywood along with it. That being said it's much harder to get wood glue to flow smoothly unless you've got an applicator that can fan a thin layer across the surface. This leaves snail tracks under the vinyl. I used it purely out of ignorance. I switched over to contact cement for future builds, as is the more customary solution, and it flows much more smoothly.

I'm actually using the G12-H30 Anniversary Edition in this cab. I picked them up at Guitar Center for about $150 each. Looks like that's still the going rate.

"Design" would give me far too much credit! More like "picked some dimensions to see what would happen". Full details, including audio samples, in the linked article.

***** What linked article, where?
