I'm definitely glad that I put a HF driver in my 12/6/1cube. I usually end up playing along with music or a drum machine while practicing. When I have it turned off, the cymbals completely disappear and music sounds lifeless. If you're only interested in pumping your bass through it then save...

Hey butcher, I live near I-80 and I-57. The Menards in Matteson had BB at one time but not when I built my 12/6/1 last spring. Sometimes they don't stock it near the "craft" wood. Check over where the building ply is stored. I ended up getting my BB from Owl Lumber in Oak Lawn on Southwest...

I'm in. Here's some photos of my 12/6/1cube: Matt916 - TalkBass Wiki The 12/6/1cube has plenty of volume for me but I'd love to build another one when the neo prices drop a bit - maybe a 15/6. I had also considered making another cab (and use my existing components) using a lighter weight...

I agree, Tom! All the cool pics of your 12/6 cube and 15/6 stack definitely inspired me to build one.:)

Well I finally got my 12/6/1 cube finished this past weekend! I had a delay due to my 3012LF driver needing replacement because of a nasty buzz. We had a warm spell in Chicago so I took advantage and got the Duratex applied while waiting for the replacement driver the previous week. I also...

Okay so I need some clarification here. According to the official [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], the "ASD1001 [is] in normal polarity" (see notes in images): However, this contradicts the statement in the discussion just below that image that says "the correct polarity is the same...

Leland, Thanks for the info. There's just so much information in these threads that it's hard to find all the best practices. I used the Titebond for all the rabbit and dado joints which fit very well together with no gaps. I used the PL for all the butt joints. I didn't use hurricane...

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I don't know what I thinking at the time. I was recently helping my son reduce weight in his CO2 racing car for science class using some forstner bits. The forstner set was still out on the workbench. I just had to open them and admire them once more and then next...

I'm just south of Chicago. It's only been in the 30's the end of this week. Look's like we might get into the 50's by the end of next week. :hyper: I got my baffle and back cutouts and all my rabbits and dados completed. I was curious about the weight so I stepped on a scale while holding...

I recently started playing after a 15 year break and my wife bought me a nice Ibanez 5-string for xmas. I've been lurking around these forums for about a month now and was really inspired to build a cab to replace an old Peavey 212. It's horrible sounding on the E and B strings. I decided to...
