nick Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Hello all, I've seen some cabinets advertised locally which would hold 15" drivers. These are missing, but cabs are cheap . Dimensions are: 26"(H) x 22"(W) x 17"(D) and 31"(H) x 18"(W) x 30"(D) Was wondering if anyone could please advise me if either may be suitable for bass with decent driver(?) Many thanks Edited March 6, 2008 by nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subthumper Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi, The first one is kinda medium size but you need to calculate the internal volume and then match it to a driver with the right characteristics to work well. I think the program to help you is called winisd (someone put me right) although it may tell you your cab is on the small side for the majority of drivers. The second cab is huge. Better of getting a BFM O15. More work and cost but guaranteed result. Cheers Just Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 The first will work well with a Kappalite 3015 or 3015LF (the latter will need some kind of midrange speaker). Are the cabs already ported and what are the port dimensions? Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you reckon it's worth it? Cheers Edited March 6, 2008 by nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilmour Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Depends really. Most cabs are just boxes with a hole in the front, it's not much work to make them, and depending on the woods you use may work out cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Don't forget I have a 4 ohm black widow speaker laying about spare just down the road from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodl2005 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Make sure they're not chip board(particle board) or MDF fibreboard- gotta be Ply for a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
