Bill Fitzmaurice Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 [quote name='alexclaber' post='294059' date='Sep 28 2008, 01:30 PM']Have you already bought the drivers? Alex[/quote] What Alex didn't say but should have is "I hope not". Aside from a ten and a fifteen not being the best combination, choosing drivers first and then a cab to go with them isn't the road to a successful build. The cab design and appropriate drivers to be used with it should be decided upon simultaneously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexclaber Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I modelled this one ages ago - IIRC you end up with an extended bass shelf alignment which needs EQing to get good bottom because the Qts is so low. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they suggest it's bad a bad plan then it probably is worth considering that "plan B". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkThrust Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 So.......Plan B? I would suggest having a look on Bill Fitzmaurice's site first. If youre intent on building your own then that would be a good place to start. The first thing you're gonna need is a proper design. It'll make your life a whole lot easier.
