DIY Cab

[gone phishing]

Anybody ever do this? I'm considering making a 2x12 cab (found some speakers laying around in our store). So the real question is, has anybody done this? I have seen some designs/videos and it appears to be rather easy.

Doesn't seem like it would be too difficult for anyone with a little experience with woodworking and simple electronics.  And as I say that, I don't fit that category, but one of my goals for the new year is to learn how to do work on my own amps and effects pedals.

I mean I have the work space to do everything, and someone to ask if I need help with electronics, but I see online that it is quite easy if you're using only 2 speakers.

My only suggestion is to use finger joints when connecting the wood together. I bet there's some useful TGP info about this subject

its a huge waste of time. Ive made my own dovetailed cabs before, out of pine, and honestly, cabinets are big and bulky. And due to that, they are always for sale second hand. Go get you a 1200 dollar cabinet for 400 from some poor bastard. Check the guitar center used search engine, if you dont like it, just return it within 30 days, and get something else. Cant go wrong with pretty much any boutique builders cabs as long as they arent some obviously strange cut for some particular head, ie a micro cab.

Avatar cabs custom builds them to your specs, down to the tolex. I don't think they're too pricey, comparatively. Contact AO guitars and see if he'll make you something! Or at least the cab part and you can add your own speakers.

That being said I saw a Tone Tubby unloaded 2x12 for $250 shipped on the Gear Page. I am not affiliated with the seller.

I'm still not sure if I'm going to attempt to build it or not. I may do it in spare time and have nothing better to do. So, I'm not sure haha
