Fearful 12/6/1 cubes are built

[mbelue]

Victory!!! Awesome sounding victory! It works and sounds flipping amazing!! I would like to thank everyone here who helped me out it is greatly apprciated and I literally couldn't have done it without you.

Very happy for you. That first success feels great. Enjoy it and when you want to make sure its 100% come back and we can give some more tips.

You'll likely notice a rattle or vibration a few times the first time you really CRANK it. Probably just screws to be tightened so before you panic just go through it methodically and check the easy stuff.

Enjoy the new cab!

Yeah!

Leaks happen. Hunt 'em down. I ended up gasketing my mid and woofer with the kind of foam tape sold at auto parts stores.

Five years and it hasn't required any maintenance.

 

[singlemalt]

Right on! Sweet success! Picture time.

 

[mbelue]

Picture time.

Yes please.

Congrats, dude.
As a long time user of tall/slim 12/6s, I'm sure you'll be happy with your cubes.

potentially happier still with one of those neato collapsing stools to get those mids up a bit.

I have an mesa subway d 800 now. It sounds good with this cab. I have a markbass lm3 I will try also. I am still considering trying a peavey minimega or a gk mb800. This rollercoaster never stops!

Dudes thanks for putting up with all my stupid questions. I felt my house shake last night probably not good for the pipes!

Leland I need your adress again. I need to order more of the smallest black screws and the bigger ones that the xover screw down with. Also more blue crips.
I recieved three alphalite 6a and would like to return one to you.

I am so happy for you.

I so appreciate your humility, questions, and openness! The guys here were great, too, but you made it happen. With this thread, you have taken a serious step into the new world of bass cabs that will help other TBers feel confident to do it themselves! Congrats on a job well done.

Play the heck out of those cabs.

Congrats Mike. Looks great. I hope you find your tone!!

 

[happychicken]

Thanks man! It sounds great with mesa. Perhaps my tone found me

Thanks Jim! I really hope this thread helps the next guy build a 12/6/1 cube. Everyone was a very helpful and supportive here. As annoying as the project was at times I can easily see myself building a 15/6/1 in the future
