The cab kits are likely to be here early next week - probably before everything else is ready. If you can collect, you can probably have your kit next week if you don't mind waiting for the other bits and pieces. I don't mind waiting, I'll pm you we'll sort something out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
converse320 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I'm not in a desperate hurry for delivery, but f you need paying now just say. Don't want you sitting on a pile of costs while you wait for all the bits to arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) OK, everyone who has a kit on order should receive a pm about payment today. Edited September 20, 2019 by stevie 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 I've just uploaded a new Parts list with info on the grilles. Unfortunately, I've also noticed that tinypic has gone out of business, which means that we've lost lots of the photos from this thread. I'll try to upload the assembly photos as soon as I can, as I'm sure some people will want to refer to them during their builds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 The cabs kits have been machined and I plan to collect them early next week. Crossovers underway.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I fancy doing mine in TurboBlue - does anyone want to share a 2.5Kg tub of that colour, no 1Kg tubs to be had I can find. Would 800g be enough to do one cab ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Plenty, Aidan. A cab uses about half a litre, although you can apply more if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Everyone on the waiting list for the first batch of cabs should now have received a pm from me with all the info re. payment and delivery. If you haven't received one, please let me know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashMash Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hi guys, This looks like a fantastic project, @stevieare there any kits left? If so, i am very interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Hi Hashmash, I'm organising two batches of ten cab kits. The first ten are all taken and are about to be delivered to their builders. The second batch will be available around the end of October. Some of these have already been reserved but there are still some left. If you'd like one, just send me a pm and I'll put you on the list.

stevie Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 Update: I now have all the cab kits and they look lovely! The Celestion compression drivers will be with me on Friday, by which time I should have some of the crossovers ready. Anyone wanting to collect is welcome to do so at the weekend. I'm going to start sending boxes of goodies out next Monday. It'll take me a few days to pack everybody's orders up. I just hope the local supermarkets and stores have enough spare cardboard boxes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

converse320 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Super impressed with Blue Aran - ordered bits yesterday pm, arrived this afternoon in darkest Lincolnshire. I love seeing a group of people getting something like this off the ground, so another thanks to everyone involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chienmortbb Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Anyone interested in seeing the builds of this cabinet can do so HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) As promised, I've ordered another 10 cabinet kits from my CNC supplier. I've sorted out the minor niggles that cropped up on the last batch, like the position of the handle holes (thanks to Luke for the drawing) and the width of the rebates. The kits should be available mid-December - so call it an early Christmas present to yourself or a project to keep yourself occupied during your Christmas break. About five Basschatters have already reserved kits from this second batch (thanks for your patience!), which means that five are still available. There won't be any more when these are gone. While I wait for delivery, I'm going to order up various smaller items (handles, screws, feet, wadding, etc) so that you don't have to order from lots of different places. When I've got it organised, I'll put the information in the Parts List on page one of this thread. You will have to order the Chinese cabinet corners, however, and I'd suggest you do that now. The ad for eBay item number: 39235207159 claims to ship from Ireland - so you might like to order those. I've now sorted the grille fixing situation to my satisfaction, which means that the grille frame is no longer necessary - saving time and weight. I'll supply the fittings free with the kit if you ask me for them. There is a possibility that I could buy a batch of aluminium grilles and get them powder coated, but that will depend on the costs I'm quoted. I'll let you know.

martyy Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Does anyone have the plans for this build that they could post? It seems they are all missing from the thread. I'd be keen to have a go at this build (though the electronics part is a bit daunting… much more comfortable with the woodworking). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 You'll find the plans and the parts list on page one of the thread, @martyy. Build the cab without the horn and compression driver if you find the electronics a bit daunting. Add them at a later date if you want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyy Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Ah I just needed to be signed in to access the pdfs! Time to order some parts... Thanks @stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Check out funkle's build thread here: That's for the CNC cab kit, but the same principles apply if your cutting your own panels.

nekomatic Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 This thread (and its ancestors and offspring) have been really helpful for me in planning how to refit this 60 litre 1x12 cab I've got - thanks very much to all concerned! Maybe I missed this or maybe it was in an image link that no longer works, but were the crossover details ever shared for the Beyma woofer, and/or for the Faital with the P-Audio HF unit? Could anyone point me at them and/or repost them please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Yes, I published the crossover details for the Beyma 12 with a P-Audio tweeter, but since then P. Audio decided to change the diaphragm from titanium to phenolic. I've no idea how much that changed the performance of the tweeter, but it certainly will be different (and very likely worse), which meants that the published crossover won't work properly with current versions of the tweeter. There is a neodymium version of that tweeter with a titanium diaphragm, which I duly purchased to test. Unfortunately, it was nothing like my original ferrite one (and also nothing like the published spec sheet). So I sent it back and gave up on tweeters. The next design mated the Beyma 12 with the P.Audio PH-170 horn and a Celestion CDX1-1445 compression driver. That's a high-performance, low cost combination. I published the crossover too, but it got lost due to Tiny Pic's shenanigans. If it's of any interest, I can repost it.
