Oh, lovely sentiments Janie. ( ugh ) I bet she's deeply moved by the percentage "Jimi's guitar was an extension of himself … a part of who he was," said Janie Hendrix of Authentic Hendrix, which collaborated with Joi Guitars on the project. "What makes this Joi Hendrix Home Guitar so special and meaningful is that each limited edition guitar contains an actual piece of Jimi's legacy and family heritage, the place he called home. So, in a sense, it's a part of Jimi. And we are deeply moved by the entire concept."

Correctomundo.

Thats exactly what i did. I did try the inside facing edge, but its got vinyl on that part and the strip wouldnt stick. So it had to go round the baffle board and face outwards. I thought the the awkward bending round the corners would be ok, but it obviously wasn't

These are awesome. I own and use them https://www.gak.co.uk/en/xvive-xu2-wireless-instrument-system-silver/909377?gclid=CjwKCAiAy4bTBRAvEiwAFtatHLlEC_wmLzzNwss3KMnkYvpTsp0kyTlI2pMl5VBfnkQjh2iNkiz4phoCF1UQAvD_BwE

What everyone else said. Some jokers that go by the name of MET PARKING, tried the same magic trick on me when i overstayed in a Maccy D car park many years ago. I googled their name and they were a bunch of Pirates. They even put police style checker borders on their correspendence to frighten the unwary I filed the letters under RB. They stopped coming after a few months. Ignore them all. Dont even bother to make contact. As noted - its unenforceable

Righteo

I'm happy enough to use front ports Stevie - was just curious. I'd prefer to use 4 ports though , as in the plan, so what size area of front would i need to fit 4 ports ? I can adjust the sizes around to still keep the volume at 4.51 cu/ft

Ah, thanks Fozz . Got it the wrong way round i see

Didn't Noel end up with one of JH's strats ? I think he kept it in a vault and ended up selling it at auction due to mucho skintness I could be imagining it all though

Is it possible to place the 4 ports at the rear instead ? I was just thinking of the height needed to squeeze a 15 and 4 x 100mm ports in the front baffle. I dabbled with some conversion tables to get roughly 4 cubic feet / 113 ltr and approx, it came out as 27" tall, 17" wide , 15" deep ( 3.98 c/ft ) I may need to increase that as you recommended 125 litres is better. ( 4.41 C/ft ) Re calc : 27" h x 17" w x 17" d = 4.51 c/ft http://www.thecalculatorsite.com/misc/cubic-feet-calculator.php

But better value Edit ...

Looks a bit like a Rick

Okey Dokey. I'm happy to go 15mm. Did your modelling include any ports ? The Colossus cab in the link looks like 4 ports @ 100mm diameter and 162mm port length

Aha - £2000 Ouch

By the way Dr, if they were £1600 9 years back, wtf price are they now ? Jeeeeeeeeeeez

Thanks everyone - will check Bill's Simplex cabs. Had a Jack 2 x 12 in the past, very nice. I didnt build it though - bought it here on BC I've tried WinSD in the past, but not being a techie, i got confused over the graph results. When i fitted 4 Beyma SM/110's to my 2 other cabs, Stevie / Phil etc worked out all the port sizes and i ended up with a very nice pair of 2x10 cabs. I even bought the Beymas on their recommendations Stevie - those plans are for the Colossus drivers, which top out at 1.5khz , so does that mean they're more Sub than my Sovereign, which tops out at 3.5khz ? 125 litres is way better than the Peavey cab, and this is the biggest volume Fane state ( as you can see in Fanes recommendation ) and i wonder if that's because its a Sovereign, and not a Colossus, which i presume needs more low end, and therefore a bigger design ? I could be talking rubbish - i wouldnt know

Oh dear rabbie Maybe swap your URB for a EUB ?

Well, a quick read of the possible builds means either a 15/6 ( i dont really want an extra speaker ) or a 15 sub, which is not what i'm after

Cheers for that link - having a read right now Believe me, someone would have to build it for me for the reasons stated, and yes, coin would have to be exchanged for services rendered I'm looking at where i can buy Baltic Birch locally at the mo. Havent founds much round these here parts

PS could i get away with 12mm ply and would i get the cab out of one 8x4ft sheet

Rather then get rid of a huge Peavey BVX cab i have with a 15" 600 watt Fane Sovereign LF driver, and the fact that no one wants to buy this, I figured i may as well keep the driver but stuff it in a more reasonable box. The current Peavey cab which originally housed a Black Widow, is pretty big I did some measurments, turns out to be about 7.22 Cubic feet. Allowing for the fact that i measured outside edges, perhaps a bit less, say 7.0 cubic feet and this equates to about 198 litres. Now on the Fane website, they have recommendations for volume , both Cubic ft and Litres. Even the biggest at 4.41 Cubic ft / 125 litres is way smaller than the Peavey I'm not sure about their smallest recommendation of 1.76 cubic ft / 50 litres ??? They also dont mention porting / port sizes. What minimum size ported cab could i reasonably get away with in size, without killing the bottom end ? Problem 2 is the fact that i live in a flat, with nowhere to work ( no shed ) and no power tools to speak of. This means i will have to pay someone to build it From the FANE site ...
