Eden D210XLT into a wedge monitor

[far0n]

Afternoon folks,

Right, I've got a spare Eden D210XLT cab kicking about which I've had the brainwave of turning into a wedge monitor. Like the one Eden actually sell, the Eden D210MBX8. I'm assuming this might be a relatively straight forward job of just chopping into the cab ? Any help/guidance greatly received !

Or you could get hold of a deep tray like box and sit the cab in it bottom rear edge first to prop it up...

Mind you that may be an absurd idea.

Some cabs have a flip-down foot which tilts it up.

I wouldn't chop the cab as you'll alter the volume (cu ft not watts) and in doing so you will anger the bass gods. Your cab has top and bottom ports, whereas the wedge only has a top port so, if you cut the back corner off, you'll probably have to modify the port 'shelf' as well to avoid choking this when you fit the angled bit back on. I'd go for a small stand or even make a pair of elongated x shaped 'stands' and attach them to the cab using the holes for the rubber feet. That way, it'll be possible to revert to the standard cab at anytime.

I like the propping up ideas. You would really need some serious woodworking skills to turn that box into a monitor shape (even if you were to ignore the internal problems that JPJ has highlighted). It may not matter, but it would probably have very little resale value once you had finished with it.
