Go slowly (you don't want to overheat it, it can put a hole in it if you do). With the synthetic materials, heating it tightens it so it's almost like a drumskin, looks and feels professional.

3/4 inch spruce plywood was $20. Hardware was $50. Glue/screws, around $7. Biggest expense is the speaker. The Rocket 80 costs around $70 (cheap speaker). I've since replaced it with a Celestion Vintage 30 which is $130.

Hi! This is a very helpful video. Would you be able to make an actual DIY preamplifier? Or would that be too complicated for a DIY project? Thanks

Thanks. Greenback speakers always sound very nice. Are instruments expensive in Brazil due to the import tax or are all instruments costly?

This is a great guide to a bare-bones tolex-free cabinet. The only thing that I would've added -which is an easy addition- is to spray paint the baffle behind the grill cloth black so you can't see through it easy.

What changes might you suggest if I wanted to put the grille cloth over just the circular hole where the speaker is mounted?

I was convinced you were in the uk. 😁 Yes you pay import duty aswell As mesa and fender are real expensive due to usa duty in uk Il send you some greenbacks ,

Shoulda put a g12k-100 In that beast!

is that orange cabinet playing during demo too? what head you using? sounds phenomenal

This makes me wonder. Aside from the speaker choice, what accounts for the difference bewteen brands' cabs? Assuming I made a cab the same size as a particular orange cab, used their 'Voice of the World" speakers, and used the same wood and assembled it soundly, wouldn't it sound identical?

I would paint the front of the speaker baffle black so you can't see it through the grill cloth. This one is ok for a utility cabinet.

Robert Wootton Thanks man. In my end of the world (Canada) there is a cost savings to making a speaker cab yourself. Orange & Marshall & Blackstar & Celestion items are not cheap in North America. Wood, however, is rather inexpensive. In Canada the PPC112 new costs $430 due to the Celestion Vintage Modern Speaker. If you purchase the speaker separately, it costs $160. Parts for the speaker would be at the most $100, so that is $260 vs $430, as well as the enjoyment of building your own speaker cab the way you like it.

don't speaker cabinets have some type of baffle system inside for tone shaping ? have you looked inside that Orange cab at all to see how it is constructed inside ? the cabinet looks beautiful btw , you must be a wood worker make it look so easy man :)

Yes... the wood thickness does affect the tone... and so does adding batting inside... try using 3/4" for the sides and then 1/2" for the speaker mount and the back for a guitar and 3/4" for a bass... the type of wood also matters... I use maple furniture grade plywood because of its strength and density. Try thinking of a speaker cab as a type of an acoustic guitar with a speaker for the sound hole. You might also try removing the back. I prefer an open back cab for guitar and you use a sealed, with a forward facing port, for the bass.

+Alex Romgard No worries. Plywood and solid wood, not much difference in the end. Some solid wood cabinets are made out of birch, but then again you can buy birch plywood for less and I would guess it would give you the same results. If you pad the inner walls, you'll dampen the sound which may or may not what you hope for. Most people have two options with speaker cabs... closed back or open back. if you allow air to flow in and out of the back (by removing 1/4 of the back) , then the sound is more open (notes ring out). If you keep the back closed tight, then you have a much tighter bottom end. It all depends what end result you are looking for.

Is there a way of working out how big it needs to be? I'm thinkng about building a cab, but ideally I'd like it to be as small as possible (ie. only slightly bigger than the speaker)
