For those who can't get to youtube:
In the video, Andy from Acme shows a few cabinets in various stages of production.
He knocks on the sides of the cabinet to indicate how resonant they are. First an empty one, then a braced one, then a braced one with stuffing and heavy coating on the outside. Finally he knocks on a finished cab.
I was kinda expecting him to play thru them, but he didn't.
The gist of it is the box itself is tight and quiet. After bracing the pitch is higher and decays quicker.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Mississippi Coast | | | BTW. I've been using my Carvin LS1503 some lately, and notice that it is pretty resonant when knocking on it. I'm going to find a way to brace it, and add more damping material to hopefully make it sound better.
I think Greenboy addressed this some time ago, but finding that thread will be a task.
