Guitar cabinet build - DIY Guitar Cab

- Опубликовано: 17 май 2020
- This is a simple 1x12" Guitar cabinet build so if you're considering making a DIY guitar cab, this would be a great pace to start. A Guitar speaker cabinet is a box with a circular hole cut in one side. The hardest part of making a speaker cabinet is cutting that circular hole, so I've put a link below for how to make the router jig I used to do that.
Apart from that, fit a cone and connect two cables. job done. Boom!
Here's a link to my video where I make a circle cutting jig : • How to make a circle c...

I appreciate how your pre-summmary was very positive and encouraging, like talking to a child. Even adults need to be reassured with kindness and simplicity. Also, I made sure to like and suscribe ❤
Nice! I painted mine with spray truck bed liner! Looks great! Thanks 😊
Great stuff, very inspiring to try my own!
Simple et efficace. Thanks!
Well done, great build.....thank you.
That was fun! Thanks for the share!
Thanks mate. Hope it helped
Nice jig idea. If you staple on the back of that baffle you'll get a cleaner looking edge.
sick build man, def wanna try this myself!
Do it. Let me know how you get on. I've made a lot of cabs and they're a fun build
Another great video
Thanks mate
Nice!
HI enjoyed the video. Watched your previous series on you 2 x 12 cab recently too - plenty of background info in your videos that will be useful - I'm turning a PA cab into a 2 x 12 guitar cab as a project at present.
Have taken a quick look through the titles of what you've posted over the last year, will be worth wacthing!
May be useful for you to know - to get the fabric evenly tight on the front grill can be tricky - artists when making up canvasses tighten them up in a 'union jack' like pattern. 4 centres first to line it up , then keep halfing the remainders, doing the outer corners last. Works every time.
Nice one. Let me know how it turns out.
Good shout on the fabric trick. I still have a load left so could give it another shot. I’ll probably build another at some point though
@@PherotoneStudios I also have a few Behringer mics and tried their SM57 clone - very nice on guitar cabs, not so good for vocals and acoustic guitar IMHO.
Have you come across the B2 Pro condenser? The prices seem to vary a lot. I picked a new one up for £80 last year, nice aluminium case with i and a shock mount.
Seems like a very nice piece of kit great for vocals and acoustic instruments.
Your channel rightly demos affordable gear. The B2 Pro might be a mic one worth considering demoing, they have been out for years and I think it's a gem that has been overlooked.
Keep up the good work! I'll be looking through your older videos. Thanks
nice job on the speaker enclosure.
Thanks mate
Very Very nice
Thanks mate
Hey great video, nice work
I'm building one 1x12 too and I want to know how do you kept in place the frame with the grill cloth. I didn't see you used screws or glue
I pre-drill the outside edge where the speaker sits and drill through from the inside of the cab so the screws are hidden
I have a question, would I be able to use any speaker, with the right impedance, for the guitar cabinet? Do I have to use ones specifically made for guitar amps or can I just use any old speaker?
Gotta say, I wish I had seen this before working on some sub boxes with my friend. The holes for the speakers gave us a lot of trouble, that it appears you eloquently managed to bypass.
Ah no. Can you salvage the project? I did a 4 part series on making a guitar cab if you need it in more detail. Feel free to ask questions if you need help
@@PherotoneStudios it turned out okay (the holes don't look the best, but the speakers cover them up, anyways), it just ended up being a lot more work than necessary. We pretty much just made sure to cut the hole too small, then we would try to fit the speakers in, and sand down wherever necessary until they fit. Took a good few hours. I'll make sure to check out those videos before working on another set, though!
@@jordanperkins3332 ah man that sounds like so much work with all that sanding. At least you know what to do next time so it'll be easier. Fun project
Great work on the cabinet! Loving these vids! 👍 Quick question for you... If I buy a Celestion Speaker, and fit it inside of a large Amazon box... Will it sound the same and therefore save another £40ish? 🤔🐴
Lol. Good question. I’m genuinely going to do a speaker cab comparison and doubt wood effects it much.
Are you thinking of making a cab? I may have an empty one for you if you want
@@PherotoneStudios If I made one it would be either wonky or fall apart 10 seconds in to playing anything a bit bassy! 🐴
Wood doesn't do much but the structural integrity definitely does, cabs are sturdy so that they don't over-vibrate
in a very untechnical way of putting it
I have 2 unit of 5" speakers, took it out from a car audio speaker, could this be good for guitar speaker? 2x5" cabinet maybe?
no sir
How are these gonna fair for just home/ small venue usage?
Im planning on making one and pair it with a valve amp head.
Im pretty broke and one could dream
hey, i dont know if it is too late, but whats important in that case is tht the speaker and the head have enought watts, the cab may help with its construction to project better the sound
My one complaint about this: if you're showing people how to make stuff, wear PPE, please! Safety glasses and dust mask at the very least. Wood dust is highly toxic, it can get into your lungs and cause all sorts of problems. Also, protecting your eyes is extremely important, especially when I comes to power tools.
Apart from that, great build! Looking forward to the next one!
You’re completely right. I have a very expensive full face mask I use now. Even for using a router, in case the bit snaps and hits me in the face
What? No finger-joints? It isn't music if the cabinet doesn't have finger-joints! Seriously though, that looks sturdy enough to sail across the sea in.
Same as Orange :-) ruclips.net/video/Ni-60bX1xY8/видео.html&ab_channel=OrangeAmps
What kind of wood is? So cool Man!
I believe this one was plywood. Thanks mate
Looks like your next build will be a 4 x 10.
Funny you should say that, I have a 15” bass cab planned. The materials are set aside, just need to make it
Too bad I didn't see your video before I've done mine....
How did yours turn out?
You can always make another one and learn from the first one. It’s quite a fun project
@@PherotoneStudios I had 15mm MDF in my cave, so I gave it a try. My problem is that I find it a bit boomy, but closing it with a thick fiberglass panel fix the problem I think, so finally I am very happy. What do you think, it is 76cm height x 48 width x 40deep on the bottom 35deep on top, I think I made a over sized cab! It is a loaded with a C10Q and a G12-T75, they both sound great by them self (especially the celestion, waouh! ) but I am still wondering about this mix, I like it but....I would like to try a 10"greenback or G10N-40 just to be sure.
@@bouillefabien1195 That does sound like quite a deep cab. Does it have an open or closed back?
Are the speakers the same ohms? just wondering about how they're wired as that could cause problems. I've never actually had a boomy cab but could just have been lucky.
It is nice having a mixture of speakers so you can mic both up and blend to taste
@@PherotoneStudios the back is closed with fiberglass and the are both 16 Ohm wires in parallel. The wooden floor or the room could be the problem, it is complicated as you know. I will play it in another place and see what happen. I have fun, and that is it!
Y the bald cap
To get a Orange or Mesa Boogie is another solution....
Mesa Boogie 1x12” is £490 and has a celestion speaker.
Orange 1x12” cab is £253 and has the same celestion speaker.
Mine cost £85
@@PherotoneStudios We agree Sir! Tolex is the most expensive thing on my cab. We are glad we can use our skills, that is it.
@bouillé fabien I had to google tolex . I've never actually used it, I've only stained hardwood or painted Plywood. Tolex does look really good though, I just think i'd do a terrible job covering a cab with it so avoid it.. How did you find it?
@@PherotoneStudios I am in France and I ordered it in germany, TubeTown, they have every thing about cab. Yes, my cab looks really nice thak to the tolex. It is a bit tricky in corners to adjust everything but it is not that complicated, and it is worth the pain, really.
You should use a drum scratch track instead of a metronome when recording music without drums. I can tell your timing is a little off, drums help with that better than a metronome. You can just take the drums out at the end.
Please lose the music. IT'S NOT NEEDED!!!!!
