1 x 8" cab build

[AiRdAd]

Wired up and the back on, handle, feet, and speaker grille next.

Killer looking cab JB! You should be really proud of yourself.

Did you buy the screws with that thing around them (the silver ones on the back of the cab) them from MItre10? I need some for my cab?

They do sell them yes... usually cheaper at bunnings

Orange terror stamp arrived so tried out the cab with the superstrat, was farty and not quite right sounding with the low B tuning…. Bums.

Might have to look for another speaker.

That cheap speaker was never going to work with down-tuned tones...

You want something like this

just don't get it delivered to the office, the look I got when I got a big box of hemp delivered to ours was killer

I think I need to test it with another speaker just in case, but thinking now of maybe slipping a 10” in there (ooerrr vicar!!)

So it appears the issue may be the terror stamp, not the speaker... I've opened a ticket with Andertons as using another speaker and going direct to my interface with the cab sim output gives the same weird crackling sounds on lower strings

You may want some more screws in the back panel, doesn't look very secure.

(actually looks very impressive)

did I mention I tend to over engineer things? the back is such a tight fit I added those loops of ribbon to help pull it out, hopefully won't need to take it off...

The ribbon is a good idea. Over time, the vinyl will get used to being compressed and the back won't be so hard to remove.

That cab is destined to be played by Keith, the last surviving Human.

Who's a clever boy then?

Thanks Bruce! I can't take credit for the ribbon idea, my little Ampeg bass amp had it for the front grill and I thought it was genius!

Little update, decided it made more sense to put the Jensen C8R I put in the laney in the cab as the laney has an external speaker out anyway so I can still use this speaker with it when I want to, and the incoming mini amp head I'm getting should sound good with the Jensen... whhheeeee!

The laney sounds a bit bigger now with the speaker in the closed back cab too, win win!
