DO NOT.

Nice job. I like the look as is. The A type I think is an underrated speaker and it's not too pricey.

Thanks! Appreciate the comment and agree about the A-Type speaker.

Implicit Audio cabs are great. They have been making custom cabs for me for a while now.

It’s a really great kit, still use it with my superchamp as an external cab, good stuff!

Sweet!!! added to the Christmas list!!!

It’s only love. Great song that brother. Thank you mate as I’m about to build my own cab for my recently purchased Celestian Red Ruby 12 inch. Cheers. ☺️

Looks awesome and sounds really good. Out of curiosity is it possible to connect the NUX acoustic amp to it? I’ve never tried this but I’m curious what it would sound like, or if it would sound about the same tone and volume wise.

Thanks! that's a good point, it could be done but the acoustic amp has an FRFR speaker (well 2 speakers, woofer and tweeter) whereas the A-Type in the cab is specifically designed for electric guitar as a mid boosted speaker, i'm not sure it'll sound much good (and definitely not better) cheers though

I am kindin' of diggin' the stain, so I don't know if I would tolex it. What you should do, a 2x12 cabinet then you can tolex it :D

Looks like a fun project. Tidy cab, I think I'd either go for the tolex or maybe lacquer it?

Nice clean job and it sounds great. I would add on to the previous comment and suggest a 2x12 cabinet covered in surf green tolex, and then purchase a Bugera V22 head which are great sounding and a good value and recover that with the green tolex. You would have a seriously custom great sounding rig. Cheers!

Well, I had a base speaker built for mean years ago. I discovered that the thing was a huge magnet and probably killed my computer. If you don't put the speaking in some kind of magnetic shielding then you'll probably have a similar problem.

It’ll only happen if you have the speaker right next to the computer or CRT monitor? Don’t think it’s really to much of an issue today (could be wrong)

So is it just an input jack with 2 wires to the speaker? where would I buy the input jack?

@DerekPaulGuitar

You can buy them on Amazon for very little money, yes just an input jack with two wires!

I have experience with the creamback and a-type speakers, loudness is not the issue, but the tone will be different, I did a video shooting them out here if you’re interested :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/jHuKpKaQh7GefKQ.html

For LESS money, I bought high quality WALNUT wood. A light coat of shellac and it looks 10x better than this. It's a box, easy to put together with some pocket screws and bracing. No tolex- but next time, do use a better quality wood from the start. That kit would be ok if it was $50 or less as a back up ext. cab.

To be fair, there are many people out there with zero woodworking skills, my self included and a kit like this just makes sense, however if you do have the skills then I’m sure you’ll knock up an amazing ext. cab, thanks for the comment!

Both in terms of sonic properties as well as weight vs strength, plywood is the perfect material for cabinets: the layers make it stronger than solid wood, and they increase stiffness, which reduces the chance of resonating frequencies. But walnut does look much nicer, no question there.

Sloppy staining...
