I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.

Man, there's a lot of nice stuff in this thread. Makes my basic black workhorse boxes look a little cheap. Have to make the next ones look as nice as they sound.  |

I'll let you know how they work in different applications. There always seems to be an available option. Weber California 12" 16 ohm with bass cone.

Hope you get some time to finish it up and let us know how it sounds. I'd love to see a full shot, too, to get a sense of the size and proportions.
For me, I'm thinking it'll be a 2x12 + 1x12 modular thing mainly for small-car-packability, but haven't totally ruled out the vertical 3x12. For speakers, I still need to see, but I've got a pair of Deltalites and a couple from Fane to test out.
A couple threads you might be interested in: sealed 3x12 idea 12" Speakers for Sealed Cabs Showdown - Emi vs Fane

If transport is an issue, the modular approach is nice. It looks like I will soon be able to finish this project. I'll keep you posted.
To be honest, thinking about applying the Tolex justifies (for me) part of the delay.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2000 Location: Chicago | | A bunch of years ago, I built a pair of these, 1x10 PAS woofer, Foster horn tweeter, SWR inspired crossover.
Essentially 1/2 of an SWR Goliath II Jr. 
With a ceramic magnet woofer and a thick steel grill, these little cabinets were insanely heavy by today's standards.
They sounded pretty good, if I recall correctly, but became a victim of me downsizing my gear.
They're out there somewhere in TalkBass land.
