MoonBassAlpha Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I'm blessed with an excess of 9mm ply from some recent building work. I'm thinking of re-housing a 10" Celestion neo. in it. Any thoughts? Wouldn't mind a tweeter to go with it too. Any suggestions. Cheers Jules Quote

It was fairly light (~14lb iirc) but this has the potential to be a fair bit lighter. Doubling up might make putting a thin walled box together easier too. Hmm... Quote
flyfisher Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Ah, I didn't read the OP as wanting to build a particularly lightweight cab, just that there was a plentiful supply of 9mm ply. Interesting idea about using a holesaw to make one layer light before glueing together. There could be all sorts of permutations for optimum stiffness whilst avoiding nasty resonances. Could be an interesting project for anyone into CAD modelling and simulation. Quote
