I'll tell you what, I'll want to see that, so, if you post a build thread, I'll give you a number before it's even complete. You would've earned it.

And, maybe some more info, dimensions, price for the parts, estimated time to completion?

Not to worry, I will be doing a build/progress thread on my cabinet once I get underway. To answer some early questions:
- I don't have the 100% sure dimensions yet since I haven't done a sandwich construction project yet. But I do know that I'm going with 3.5ft^3 ported for the dual B&C neo 15's tuned to 44Hz. The 18Sound midrange will be in 0.25ft^3 sealed and will sit on the baffle much like the fEARful 15/6 design.
- After some initial pricing, it looks like the initial costs (midrange driver, composite materials, Eminence pre-fab passive X-over, and various cabinet finishing touches) will come out to $375. I traded some other gear for the B&C drivers, so you could just add the price of 2 Eminence drivers onto the $375 since they seem to be a very popular choice.
- ETIC for this project is going to be hard to nail down right now. I have one other project that I have to finish first (sealed 8" enclosures for the front doors of a Scion xB) But I want to have both of these projects 100% complete within the next 90 days.

Thanks for the interest guys and I hope that this cabinet turns out as nice as I'm hoping.

warnergt, how's that Fender 215 sound? Looks sweet.

It sounds really, really sweet -- no complaints at all so far.
I was using my Bassman 250 amp with it. I just switched over
to my Ampeg SVT-3 PRO just to see what it sounds like.
Everything sounds good.

I just wish my whole house didn't rattle when I crank it up.
My wife says the windows are going in and out upstairs. :p

I have the Carvin LSx1503A. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to shrink my photos to fit the site. Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac? I use iPhoto. Images are usually in the thousands of pixels and I can't figure out how to shrink to parameters without cropping the pics to nothing.

I have always had a 15" speaker in my rig.....o collection since I got my first bass amp 20 years ago!!!

My first bass amp was a Marlin 50B combo.....50 watts inot a single 15". Loved that wee amp...and still have it!!!:bassist:

I then moved onto Trace Elliot.....AH250 head and a Cerwin Vega 2 x15"......that was interesting.:cool:

Traded the Cerwin Vega (I know....shame on me.....) for a Trace 4 x 10 (still had the Marlin though....):o

Added a Trace 1 x 15" (few back in the rig!!).:smug:

Traded the whole Trace rig....for another.....AH500 plus Trace 4 x 10 and TRace 1 x 15.:bassist:

Bad back suggested I downsize.......so Trace rig went in favour of Ashdown ABM500 head with Mini 48 (4 x 8) and Mini 15 (1 x 15"):D

I also sneaked in an Ashdown Electric Blue 130....with a 15" speaker.......

So my bass collection at the moment has 4 8" speakers....and 3 15" speakers!!!:bassist:

Here's a piccy to compare the Trace Rig I had ....to the ashdown rig I have....

Trace-Ashdown.jpg



and the Ashdown rig itself.....

Well....15 isn't searchable, and there are many thread with the word "club", obviously, so I guess the occasional bump so the thread can be found won't hurt ;-)

While I'm at it, did I miss anyone? I think everyone who sent pics has a number, but, if not, feel free to correct me.

Now this is a club I can support!

Visible in this picture for official verification purposes are my Acoustic 406 cabinet (2x15) and Bag End S15B (1x15). Besides those, I also have an Acoustic 136 (1x15 combo) and an Acoustic 404 (1x15 ported cabinet).
