Can you give the dimensions of your flatback so I can compare them to my tiltback?
Thanks,

Alan

Alan, somehow I missed your post. If you still need dimensions I can help you out.

Yes, please. I'm building a flat-back, and I'm sure the dimensions are different without the back cutouts/angles for the castors and towelbar.....
Thanks,
Alan

Alan, I'm really sorry I took so long...

Here's what I found from 2008 when I was researching and thinking of building my own, before I found an original.

Mine measures the same. I'd love to see yours when you finish. What speakers are you using?

4 Weber 10fls, 4 Eminence B810s. 4 Verticle chambers as opposed to 4 Horizontals. Switchable 250hz low-pass for the B810s. Only thing I'm not sure of is the stuffing. Haven't decided on matress topper, wool, polyfill, ??? I'll post pix when assembly begins...
Thanks,
Alan

Cool! I used polyfil, with adhesive spray so there aren't any stray staples after years of vibration.

Cool. Did you stick with the CTS drivers? How punchy and tight is it, or is it just boomy and loud? What amp are you using? Thanks,
Alan

I'm using my '72 SVT with it. I did stick with the CTS. I was only able to use it a few times with the band but it is tighter with great crunch compared to a mid 2000's Ampeg 8x10 I was borrowing. I'm very happy that the CTS can keep up with my loud band, I was worried.

cab

Go to lowes and get some of that white, itch-free white fiberglass insulation. Line each chamber with about 1.5 to 2.0" of it and you will get a good sound. It's cheap too. Wool works great but, is expensive and tough to work with. This fiberglass is cheap, easy to work and sounds just as good.
