Show your Bill Fitzmaurice cab

Dragonlord · #1 02-17-2007, 09:37 AM

OK, I was searching past topics and there always seems to be someone making one, but rarely if ever someone that has finished one. Still, they get recommended to users every now and then. So, I'd like to see some photos from users that actually have one... with a small review, if they use them as standalone or with other cabs etc.

Me too.

Plenty of pictures and reviews at billfitzmaurice.com which also has a forum. When I can finally finish some side jobs and the weather warms up for cutting wood outside I'd like to make one of his cabs. His plans take alot of the costly trial and error out of experimenting with your own partially proven ideas (a.k.a. pissing in the wind).

+1...

I was thinking of the omni 10 but I feel the pull to try out one of the DR series.

tried several times- keep getting the " page can't be displayed" message. What's the correct web site title?

Dragonlord · #6 02-17-2007, 01:39 PM

Yep, doesn't work for me neither today... still, I'd like to get some photos and feedback from TBers. These cabs get recommended every now and then here, surely some people must have one!

The site has crapped out numerous times over the last few weeks. Bill attributes it to host IX doing system changes.

A tracert from the Left Coast always shows the failure inside the rev.opentransfer.com site where it is hosted.

My ISP server is down, apparantly someone forgot to feed the hamsters. The site is www.billfitzmaurice.com, the forum
http://billfitzmaurice.com/phpBB2/.

Hopefully the server will be up soon.

You must have the same server as Bill - same message.

OK. I'll bite...

My Omni 12.

Sometimes I'll stack my 410 for a little extra punch through the middle.

mchildree · #12 02-17-2007, 05:21 PM

My pair of Omni 15s...these things rock!

Those are niiice. Maybe I'll make one to go with my 12

DblG · #14 02-17-2007, 06:33 PM

Well, the site worked fine just now for me. Lotsa cool stuff. While I'm completely satisfied with my T-Funk 550 and AG El Whappo (sorry Bill, I got a sense of your feelings on them

), my interest on the site was in the items for PA use. (I do the sound for my band too). The Tuba 24, Omni Top 12, and Wedgehorn Vocal Monitor look interesting. The soundguy in me has aquired GAS.
Some of the descriptions say the approximate cost of building a particular cabinet. With the price of wood in mind, I wonder how often Bill updates those said approximate prices.
Subscribed. MORE PICS!

FYI - My cabs cost almost exactly the price that was quoted on the plans. This was circa January of this year.

I started with an Omni10, and now have two T24s, two DR250s, and one Titan48. The cabinets have been great! Here are the two carts I use.

No Pic

It took me three tries to insert a pic, but it's there. Here's an "action" shot.

Dragonlord · #20 02-18-2007, 12:26 AM

Great, keep them coming! I'd also love to hear any A/B comparisons with known cabinets... that would give us a much better idea of what we're talking about.
