Help with cab volume - 2x12

Sign in to disble this ad
Been trying to plan a portable, yet versatile cabinet for 6 months now. Keep in mind, PORTABLE is the keyword here, I am willing to sacrifice some tone for the sake of it being small enough to fit into my car (ie depth can't be like 17")

2x12 cabinet, with Eminence Deltalite II's

So what is the volume range I would need for a 2x12 with Deltalite II's??

don't think it can be done and sound right w/the volume you're proposing w/those drivers. Have you considered going with a couple of larger 1-12 cabs instead? Building something like this for a local bassist in a lightweight cabinet format and he'll be able to pack it into a pretty small sedan.

do you have WinISD? Plugging in the T/S parameters for that driver will give you a lot of info.

Then whatever size cabinet you wind up with, build it using some of fEARFUL cabinet principles, specifically 1/2" birch plywood, high strength wood adhesive, and strategic bracing.

No less than 4 cu ft. But if you have to ask you should not be considering designing your own cab.

Here is a good article by fdeck (Francis Deck). It discusses the design tradeoffs of box size, and the construction of a small box that uses the Deltalite 2512.
