Yeah, but i like the older stuff, I own a T-40 and I have family who owns Peavey 400 series amp head, a mid 70's peavey 15'' and an peavey 118fh, not to mention a 2 huge 3 tier EV stacks which include 4 18s 6 15s and several horns, all of which are passe' but I still love them. Another thing...

i built the cab to the specifications that i stated and so far it sounds really good, it was 25X21X23.5 and the front was to 21X21 so there is a 4'' gap and a ran a peice thats 21X16 at the top of the gap. I used mbf so i guess i lucked out because it sounds great

yeah, i found out what dimensions modern day Cerwin vegas uses 25 " x 21 " x 23.5 " so i'm going to go with that, i think thats pretty much what most 18'' cabs use so i'm going to hope for the best

it's cerwin-vega 187, i wanted an L187 like the one in my grandpa's peavey folded horn, i was going to build that, i had all the plans out but i down not own a truck and those things are huge. I still want to use the 187 in it, i was wanted to do a front mount (i actually want to do a front...

i would try the The Thiele-Small Loudspeaker Database but the have no data on my speaker, i have only seen a hand full of them.

Yeah, i did put it up to full blast, it didn't make any crackling or any bad noises otherwise i would have stop, I do feel like an idiot for it but i bought the speaker untested and was not sure till now if it even worked. I'm new to amps, up till now i've had to barrow a half stack to do shows...

I have a cerwin vega 18'' and i know they are loud when in a cab, but mine is loose, I'm waiting on the wood to build a cab. I hooked it up to my new head (my first bass head) it's a Marshall MB series B450H and it wasn't that loud on full blast. Is my speaker crap or my head, OR are speakers...

the cab has a brace the runs for the top to the bottom and instead of running one like the original i am running 2

Thanks for all of your help. I think I'll be able to do it a bit better than half-a**ed. About moving it once it's build though the original one i am basing it off of has wheels on the back, even so I would still like to be able to move it without worry

It does call for 1'' plywood because it's housing an 18'' cerwin vega and being a mounted in backwardes it would cause a lot of pressure. That and the old cab I am basing this off of has 1'' walls. I'm going to go ahead and build it out of good generic plywood and if i don't like it at least I...

I know you are supposed to use baltic birch but I really can't afford it. I am making a folded horn with an 18'' cerwin vega 187 in it. Would standard ply wood that is an inch thick be able to hold without excessive vibration.

i know it's behrninger but something is telling me to go for it http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00138R98O/ref=dra_a_cs_ss_fs_it_P1400_1000?tag=dradis-20 and this one is a Peavey 400 series identical to the one my grampa uses andi know how it acts. I'm just afraid to order something vintage through...

thing with my old set was the washer* was to small and my strap popped out

btw the reason i don't use strap-locks is because i've have them fail and wound up dropping a bass

thanks for the input, i think i'll try the washer idea
