Sealed 2X12 build (S2012 Basslite)

I have a Bagend 2x12 cabinet. In the cabinet there is a diagional piece of ply wood (not totally deviding the cabinet in two) between the baffle and the back. This way the cabinet is incredibly sturdy and will have a very controlled low end at high volumes. My 2x12 has the dimensions of a Fender 2x12 combo but is about 5cm taller and 3cm deeper. It is a closed design.
 
Very cool stuff here :) Yeah, I think for the Basslite, it "wants" a pretty big volume for the "ideal" alignment. Like 4 cf / 110l. But for a bass cab, going as small as 1 cf / 30l would work (I think that's how I want to try it at least). Sealed cabs are fun because there's only that one variable to tinker with, IMO.

And if that Bag End wasn't so heavy, I'd be hunting one down. Bag End gets a lot of love for their sealed flavor and I expect that extends to the 2x12.
