alexclaber Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Have you already bought the drivers? Alex Quote
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted September 28, 2008 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
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 [quote name='alexclaber' post='294354' date='Sep 29 2008, 05:04 AM']Exactly! Alex[/quote] Also, the PDN 15sb40 is not a good choice for an electric bass cab. Quote
alexclaber Posted September 29, 2008 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

DirkThrust Posted October 1, 2008 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. Quote
