Hi bassists,
Would anyone know of a cab builder somewhere between tampa and orlando, fl?
Someone who has knowledge of the gazillion different speakers, how to ring the best out of a particular speaker , proper cab volumes/designs etc?
Any recommends appreciated
If this is wrong forum for the above question would the mod please move to proper forum?
Thanks

What kind of cab do you want built? And is there a particular reason they must be super local to you?

Good question. I've lived here for years and I don't know of anyone who makes cabs commercially. Might try calling Central Fla Speaker, though. They might know someone or do it themselves. They're right off John Young and 441.

Do it yourself. Or, hire someone local that's an experienced carpenter/woodworker. Just watch the clip below, and, order a fEARful DIY Kit. Seems relatively easy to do.

No real reason for them to be super close. I have a couple of eminence 3012's (not kappas or neo). I bought them after buying an empty Schroeder 212 cabinet. At the time I compared all the specs and they had close to the same xmax and freq response and I don't mind schlepping a few xtra lbs.

I was at the time using a Hartke 5500 with a matching 810 in a LOUD (read that as a very competitive guitard) country rock band
I loved the tone of that rig and standing in front of it would make your jeans leg flap like the American flag in a 40 mph wind.
but then there was a divorce and in the interim it went bye bye.

As I bought the Schroeder from an individual he had pulled the speaks and tweater out and I just bought the cab.

After playing this cab for a couple yrs it just to mid range voiced for me. I can dial in satisfactory tone but it has no balls. PLUS...I miss getting my jeans flapping.
So reading about fearfuls, fearless, Fitzmaurice I was hoping to find someone in the tampa/Orlando area that was a certified or recommended cab builder to talk to about my speaker and the possibility. Was kind of thinking about a fearful 1212/6

Would love to hear any thoughts...........
Thanks

I would sell the drivers you have, and reach out to any of the builders and see what they can do for you that fits in your budget.
