I've learned so much over the years here on designing and building bass cabs, but want to try porting a Celestion V30 loaded 2x12 for guitar and am feeling a little lost. Even though this is a bass forum, I know this is the only sensible place to get advice on the matter
The cab is already a little oversized, and my goal is to give it a little more upper bass like a 4x12. I'm not sure what to tune it to. 80hz?
I've modeled it in Bassbox, but not sure if I'm on the right track. Here's a screenshot. the red is the 2x12 sealed, yellow is 4x12 sealed, and orange is 2x12 with two 6" diameter holes cut into the .5" baffle board. Tuned to 80hZ.
I was able to kind of test this by removing one of the recessed handles on the cab, which would be around a 70hZ tuning. It seemed to balance out the cab to my ear (I am really used to 4x12's).
Thanks!
