i need a better cab that i can also trans port easily (i live in a second floor apartment and drive a mustang, a 4x12 cab is really just too much). right now i'm using my head to power the two 12's in an old crate amp and the tone just isn't good enough (go figure). i'd like to get a 2x12 premade cab but they're like 3-400 bucks but i really want to try some swamp thang speakers from eminence. spending 400 bucks on a cab just to turn around and throw out perfectly good speakers would be retarded so...
i'm looking into building a custom 2x12 cabinet using eminence swamp thang speakers. do any of you guys know what kind of wood i should use for the best sound quality or best tone? i read something about some companies using birchwood.
should i make the box sealed or leave it half open?
i think a sheet of 1/2" birch for like 40 bucks should be okay for the wood, the speakers are like 190, and the covering will be about $70. all in all the project should be about 350 bucks in the end.
marshall has an offering for around that price but i doubt the quality would be as good as something handmade with the speakers i want.
