Hello,
I'm putting some feelers out to gauge any interest in Baltic birch 2X12 speaker cabs.
3/4" box w/ handles
speakon jack
heavy duty rubber feet
lacquered
1/2 BBply protective cover
The cabinet would include a 5ft 1/4" to speakon cable. Speaker choice would be entirely up to the buyer. Please PM me for price, pictures or any other questions you might have. regards ~MJH

Im not in the market for a cab, but you've got a beautiful sig! Hopefully nobody saw it here at work! :shock:

Do you have specs on Jerry's cabinets, so that you can say how close what you'd build would be? The amount of air and venting have a large effect on sound from closed cabinets, right? Also, what kind of pricing are you talking about?

They are the exact same size as the the Hardtrucker cab. They sound great and are 1/3 the cost. .~MJH

Emoto asked a quantitative question, you gave a qualitative response.

by **hogan** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 2:24 pm

Ok, Lets start over.
15" wide
29" tall
13" deep.
glued and screwed rabbet joints
BBply cover held in place w/ magnets
1.5" rubber feet
steel inset handles
laquered

The cabs are not closed back.

$425

Yes, closed back and open back speaker cabs sound different. Aside from tighter bass w/ a closed back cab I wouldn't know where to begin to be able to quantify the differences.

hello there I might want one do you have any pics of a finished cab also do you have the speaker clips thanks JD

good call on the asking about the clips...the clips are a big part of this and cost me about a 1/3 of the cost of the cabinet when i built mine.

by **jdsmodulus** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 2:53 pm

the clips are key I bought some black ones from a company called sonic they work but not as easy they are replacment p a cab clips front loaded but my project has stalled a bit

by **jeffm725** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 3:49 pm

here are the clips on mine..they were custom made and cost me almost 80 bucks for 8 of them! They work GREAT though, Hold the speakers in perfectly and can be unscrewed with a hex key in no time.

Anybody know if Jerry's cabinets were open or closed back?

open.

I don't do the clips as per HT. Like an earlier poster said, too costly. They are hard to find to boot. I could have them made and pass the cost onto the buyer. They just aren't worth it. I never got the notion of their convenience anyway. What's the difference between unscrewing them and unscrewing bolts from a speaker frame? A few more turns of the wrist? Unfortunatly i've found that is a stumbling block for a lot of people.
