PunkPonyPrincess Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I dont need any finish (I have that) or stuffing or hardware, I just need someone to make me a raw lightweight cabinet out of 9mm ply for 6 to 10 Phil Jones Bass speakers I chanced upon. I would love a small 6 x 5" pjb style cabinet, these drivers are only ~400g each. 6 forward facing, or 4 x and 2 x upward -- small and light as possible. I even have port hardware I just broke a toe and am not going to be making wood things.

PunkPonyPrincess Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Sounds ideal. I’m looking for small and light It’d be copying the PJB dimensions of a 6 x 5” so I know the internal volume — give or take. 16.4 x 12.6 x 27.2 inch (415 x 320 x 691 mm) (W x D x H) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) That will be a nice cab. I have five PJB 4x5 cabs and love them. How did you "chance upon" 8 or 10 PJB drive units? You will need to increase the cab size over the 6x5 if you intend to add two up-firing drivers.

PunkPonyPrincess Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) No but I have 4 more than I need if all I get made is a 6-er. These are the older generation which are from the Briefcase /Suitcase. Brand new, same footprint, amazingly light just not as light as the neopowers. I paid about £250 for all 10.

Dan Dare Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 They would be perfect, as my cabs (4B and C4) have the older non neo drivers and it would be good to have spares. I'll pm you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably where I've been going wrong in the past.

As I recently brought another new CNC earlier this year to help with my Zoot bass business, I was thinking (and only thinking) of doing a very small run of light weight Purple-Chili cabs to use up my stock of ultralite 12mm & 15mm ply etc that was/is left over from my Purple-Chili cab/amp building days. As I said, only thinking at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunkPonyPrincess Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) I sold off 4 of the ceramic ones leaving me with 6 x 5” neo power drivers. They are loud little things. My tiny little CUB II B110 uses just two and its plenty loud enough for home. Edited December 13, 2020 by PunkPonyPrincess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunkPonyPrincess Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 A couple of quotes are coming in at £450 — £550 (finished minus the cost of an ICEPower Amp) plus extra wiring and safety/compliance test and so on — so I’ve decided to back out, cut my losses and get a real deal cabinet. I can get a new PJB C8 for about £650 and used for less. The economies do not stack up for me so I’m selling the drivers (while possibly keeping a few for spares). False alarm, sorry all. I used to be a lot more DIY but less so as time goes on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
