fEARful 1212/6, first build!!

Impressive list! Any favs in that stable?

The F212 and DuallyT are the best all around cabs. They ever so slightly edge out the 1212/6 in sound per pound, and over all quality of sound. That said the 1212/6 is simply amazing. The '66 is a monster. The 15/6 and F115 are the best sound/$$$ options, and the F112 will shock you in terms of what it can do, despite its size. The bassic 12 with faital driver is a great small practice cab, for me.

Why are you so worried about mice?[/QUOTE]


Because of where I live, as much as I clean my house I have a manhole in my backyard, I've seen roaches and rodents come out of it and get in my place, that's why I concerned...
 
Later today I'm gonna re-do all that/clean it up, found someone with a staple gun, gonna do it like diablos did...

Great Job, Andy!
And folks, our man Andy is a true gentleman filled with Aloha, and he totally shreds on bass in any style. Rock on, Soldier! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

*and* got my foam in the mail!! I don't think I'm gonna put the pet screen in after all, ill just stuff something in the ports when not in use...im intrigued by having wheels on the back, but only if it doesn't cause noise...if it will I might just get a dolly, I also want to secure a rack on top like I seen another build(my phone wont let me post pic of that...)....
 
Yes - remove more - leave the full throat unhindered - ask yourself if your foam layers would impede the flow of slow moving water through the gap - if so, you need to cut it back more.

Okay, so I removed all that mess I made, so how would this be(its not glued in yet)...

I'm kinda going off other build threads with this, please tell me if that's okay or not....
 
Well I guess it is possible that they might make noise. I doubt it would be a problem unless you cheap out on them. I would try to find something capable and durable over differing terrains.

And I use the extra foam from my 12/6 build as a table padding for when I work on my guitar.

Got to egg crate foam glued in, did a dry fitting with baffle to make sure it was all good...

Glued the back of the mid chamber on, I'm probably not gonna put foam on inside of baffle but only at the back of mid chamber and top, that should leave enough for top of port shelf *and* enough for me to stuff inside ports when I'm not using it

What kind of wheels were you thinking?? I ask because I thought about getting 4 locking swivel type instead of feet but was informed they would create noise, do you have a link or a name for the type by any chance??
 
se to the volume of a 410. At least in comparison to my friends Hartke 410.

Also, why the screen protection? Certainly this will inhibit the air flow through the port...
At a minimum i would remove the X'd regions.

My damping wasn't as dense (2+ inches of polyester batting) but my recollection is that on the back of the cab it's a good idea to stop a couple inches north of the port shelf. so as not to choke the porting. Here's mine looking slightly ragged from a bunch of fussing about and changes across the first six months I owned it.
