Project cab questions

[NickFromNY]

i have the chance to pick up an unloaded Epifani T310 cab for basically nothing. Cab has no speakers, tweeter or electronics. I know that ideally i should find exact replacements and rebuild it the way it was, but costs may dictate otherwise. I was interested in the GB Faital neo 10s from Avatar to put in there to create a 900 watt, 5.3 ohm cab for relatively cheap. Any other low cost, higher power, good sounding options?

I would be running either a Tone Hammer or GB Shuttle 9.0 through it. Am I better off just finding a used 4x10 that is already together? Budget is around $200 or so. The cab is $25. Faitals are $177 for 3, plus i would need tweeter and input jack panel to finish off the Epifani

spoke to Nick at Epifani today via email. To rebuild the cab using Epifani parts would cost around $700. Definately out of my budget.

What are the internal volume and vent dimensions?

Plus a crossover??

Well, you could get away without using a crossover by using a piezo. It works (I guess) in Markbass cabs. Bill Fitzmaurice swears by them.

Cheap Bastard Method:
you dont need an acutal crossover, just a HPF, which could be a lone capacitor...
3 Fatial's for $177 bucks, just do it.
I like the idea of a 5.3ohm cab for a Tone Hammer, as long as you dont use another cabinet.
Invalid Link Removed, $0 buck, im sure you can find better somewhere.
A jack is $2 at radio shack, and a flat piece of sheetmetal to mount it on is, well, everywhere.

Of course, I am reckless and impulsive so Ill try anything.

A used 410 is a better bet, or a pair of 210's or 115s. 4 ohm loads are your friend.
Two cab redundancy is approved by the Department of Redundancy Department.

buy this and throw away that cabinet, and your still ahead a bunch of dough.

Right. Except for the gas money driving from Long Island to Indianapolis for local pickup. And that takes all the fun out of making a silk purse out of this ol' empty box.
