Teeny-tiny bass cab - recommendations please

[tauzero]

I use a Hotone bass amp with a Barefaced One10 as a monitor at rehearsals. It's fine. If you want cheaper, you could go a bit bigger and build the BC Lockdown Build 1x10.

Can you get a 15" speaker in a 10" cab? 😗

No problem  fella,  pass me the items and I'll sort it,  might be some "leftovers" in a bag too.

I imagine that PJB C2 I've ordered goes down the same route.

 

What is good is these small cabs do have decent power handling, so you can use a modest class D amp and have a teensy rig that covers home practice and small (say without drums) gigs.

 

 

Yeah I'm not knocking the designs at all. I'm just interested in what other people are doing within a fairly tight envelope. I also thought it might be interesting to Teebs to know what he would be trading for what I expect would be a superior sound. He's intending using this with a low powered amp so knowing that option would be a lot quieter than his hifi would be important. My design was to work with a 10/20w amp so sensitivity was important.

Awww, why not just take an acoustic guitar around with you? You can play bass lines on a guitar, plus chords and stuff... 👌

Hidiot!

I've decided to build my own cab - 2x 3" 15w 4Ω speakers I have lying around.

 

I can't calculate the volume & port dimensions, so I'm scaling down my TE2103H cab

 

Build diary to follow in a bit..

A drop of patience for putting up with The Hidiot 4000?

 

Eh, @Ricky 4000

Okay, I got a couple of 4" wood screws you can have. They're stupid Torx heads, so I can't use them with my standard screwdriver.

 

Just pay the postage, packing, and a bit towards the scrap value - and you can have them, I suppose... 👍

[Stub Mandrel]

I will drop a couple of 3" holes in a jiffy bag.

 

Just pop a donation in "El Papa's Collection Box" 🙂

I have nothing for you @Teebs, but you can have all my sympathy, as long as you pay all the postage fees.

I'll do a proper build diary when I've finished, but progress up to now...
