start building sub cabs
Hello,
Started building the sub cabs. I know a bigger cab would be better but my living room is not that big.
plus now all the 4 cabs and the 2 amp racks and the effect rack will be the same size.
the bass tube will be made fully from wood and is 20cm in with.
in the miling machine
planks
oeps that t-nuts shouldn't be there
24mm wood +18mm ring
19'' racks
haha sorry for the t-nuts
Hope you have enjoy the posts

If your amplifiers and crossovers have been stored for a few years, you may want to Google-study suggested methods for safest power up. Some articles recommend putting an incandesent light bulb in series with the AC mains for current limiting, plus using a Variac to slowly bring up the voltage. The goal is to "re-form" the electrolitic capacitors and identify failed transistors with limited currents.Recieved a few amps today from the USA
Altec 1593B and 1594B
monoblocks 50 and 100W
They all look like new!!
Do your own study with trusted sites.
Hello, in the 18'' i used white damping wool from monacor.
on the top i used indeed glasswool, i putt in just for test the monacor was not in stock.
I'm thinking of closing the bassports in the top cabs
How does not flaring make it smoother? Are you sure you did your tuning correctly? If I do some guesses here: 20cm port in 150 Liter cabinet at 29cm long I get about 45Hz tuning, so about double what you think it is. See here: Subwoofer Vent Length Calculators - Diameter of Vent, Number of Ports, Volume of Box, Tuning Frequency, End Correction Factor
Hello, i mean smoother for the looks.
you are right it was meant to be 40-45 Hz tuning freq, the 23 was from another cab i did last.
the reason why is, i cant make the cabs any bigger and they are standing in the corner of a room that isn't that big.
if you guys have any suggestions how i can do it better please let me know

Does putting them in the corners not mean that you would tune then even lower? You will get less of a bass hump, and the extra room gain will help you at the low end. Even without room gain, you’ll get a 5db peak at 64Hz and nothing much below 35hz. You’ll need some serious EQ to get that flatted out. Quite frankly, you’d be better of which a closed box because below 40hz, you have better power handling. Even a lower tuning tuning will not help you out a lot, at 20hz tuning you will get a few dB better power handling, but it will mean a very long port and will probably not sound better.
There are obviously several easy ways to test all this out without the need to change the box. Simply keep the port closed to simulate a closed box, or stuff it tightly with damping material to simulate a lower tuning. You can even keep the damping in if you like the sound.
