Kringle77 sealed 2x12 video

[Interceptor]

I'm game. The shop gets whipped into order this weekend!

 

[gerryjazzman]

They do! Probably better but, its twice the moving mass too.

Well then, here's another idea. Already knowing that the two cabs play nicely together it seems like one could conceivably make a one cabinet hybrid version: beta12a top (1/2 sealed), 3012 bottom ported (1/2 hurtful). You could adjust the shelf divider to give the proper volume in each, basically half that for each cabinet type. Hurtseal maybe?

Streamliner with the sealed 212, yay or nay ?

Like this cab: Invalid Link Removed

It'll probably sound good, but get flamed by the TB crowd.

Also, Hurtseal sounds makes me think of seal clubbing.

The write up on the Janice site should make you run the other way.

 

[kringle77]

Yup. Now, I really like these cabs but, if you have played the ampeg svt210av cabs and they are not your thing, these cabs won't be your thing either. A tb'er had LDS build him one and it wasn't what he wanted. So, just because I like something doesn't mean that everyone should get out the woodworking tools and follow me down the rabbit hole. That being said, I still like using my ported hurtful 2x12 and it is probably the better gig cab on it's own. And, I still like trying other cabs as well.

Ah, yeah. Well maybe the HalfFul then.

@kringle77 Chris, I’ve kept this cab in mind for years now and just got a smokin deal on a Beta 12 so in the next month or so I’m going to build one of these.

Aside from reading the thread, any other advice?


Thanks!

Make sure each driver gets at least 1.5 cubic feet of internal volume.

Thanks!

So the cut list on page 2 will get me there? Nothing has changed, IOW.

 

[kringle77]

I’d go a bit bigger, and stuffing amount will vary on what you use for material.

 

[davelowell2]

If I do 16x 16x 26.5, by my calculations, I should get just over 3 cubic feet. So just adding 1 inch to the width and depth.

What will that do to the tone, response, etc? Thanks in advance.

 

[kringle77]

It should slightly extend low end and slightly reduce the low mid bump. Not a lot but, I think it’s worth doing.

@kringle77
I got my parts, I guess I was expecting screws to come with, but no. What do you use for the handle, corners, etc.? I can get to a local hardware store.

 

[kringle77]

I use different hardware on every build. Sometimes I just round the corners and don’t use hardware at all.

 

[davelowell2]

@kringle77
Do I just drill a hole in the brace so the wiring can pass? Leave it open or silicon it with the wire in place to stop rattling around?

The Jasper jig did not fit my router even though it said it was compatible. I came up with this, lol.

I’ve got the brace clamped with the front and back now, more this weekend.

 

[davelowell2]

Some progress today. Unfortunately, it’s not perfectly square but it’s only out a little, lol. Quikwood for my mistakes and rounded the edges with 1/2” bit.

@kringle77 , how do I deal with the hole for the wire going between the chambers, through the brace?

 

[davelowell2]

Cut the holes for the handle and speaker cup. Spray painted the baffle black. I have one coat of Duratex on but no pics yet. I haven’t decided on a grill option, really not a fan of those circle metal ones.
