MichaelDean Posted April 7 Posted April 7 (edited) I've just got this back from my mum's house waaaaaaaaay too late. It's been in her understairs cupboard for about 15 years. I didn't do a dissertation as such. On our degree course, we did a final major project with quite a big project aspect to it and a smaller (but not insignificant) write up. I attempted to build a head a cab. The head never did work. Such is a lot of my struggles with electronics! The cab was hard to break though. I don't have any construction pics and can't remember if I put any dampening in it. The tweeter doesn't work either because I couldn't get the crossover to work. At least I managed to scrape a 2:1! It's loaded with two Celestion BN10-300X speakers, for an 8Ohm, 600W cab. Oh. And I couldn't get any tolex cheap enough and I didn't know about tuffcab, so it's covered in literal black carpet! The guys in Carpet Wright were a bit confused with why I wanted such a small amount of carpet! 😂 I have never really used it, but thought it was time to get it out of my mum's house. so I brought it home at the weekend. I've just had a quick try out this morning with my Terror Stamp and a guitar and a bass. It's quite clearly very bassy, but it doesn't sound terrible with either. Tempted to see if the Mrs will let me keep this and get rid of the Orange Crush 35R I've got as a practice thing. I'm also very tempted to use it as a bi-amping rig...

nekomatic Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Nice carpet work! Looks sealed, not ported? Do you remember if you did any modelling of the response? 1 Quote
MichaelDean Posted April 7 Author Posted April 7 Yes, it's sealed. I think I was going for like an SVT single enclosure thing. I think I did some modelling but it was 15 years ago. I didn't keep anything from uni other than this cab. Quote
Phil Starr Posted April 9 Posted April 9 You got marks for building a cab! I spent most of my time at university building cabs but I was supposed to be studying Applied Zoology and I didn't get a 2:1 Why didn't they invent this course back then 😂 1 Quote
MichaelDean Posted April 9 Author Posted April 9 (edited) Hah! I did a degree in Audio and Music Technology (BSc) at UWE. Lots of different aspects. Some plugin making and handling MIDI in code, a bit of acoustics, 3D game audio design, a bit of recording in the studio, a small amount of electonics. It was interesting, but perhaps not specific enough. Edited April 9 by MichaelDean 2 Quote
