When I say homemade I'm talking ground up. Not a "kit" cab or one that came with templates and instructions. I'm talking totally designed, engineered, fabricated, wired, covered by you.
I am gonna play a gig tomorrow with my first one. I'd like to see what other TB'ers have put together. I'll snap a photo of mine and post it.

I still have a couple 15" bins for PA or bass but they were from TL606 plans. All ground up cabs were home HiFi and theater/bar installs. Theater/bar installs did not need to be pretty. The HiFi cabs looked real nice but were all stained wood, matte and gloss finish.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Tampa, Florida | | I built these 13 years ago and gigged the hell out of them for eight years. They're light, sound good and it was always fun to watch other bassists try to figure out what the were....l 
They're built to about the specs of the old Portaflex 12" and 15" cabs.
