I can't seem to find any threads about cabs, probably just being thick.
I'm going to build two 1x12" cabs to run my Axe FX in stereo, playing in drop B and 8 string. They need to be compact but as full sounding as possible. Either placed on either side of the room or in a small stack. So I just need help with dimensions and wood choices. I was thinking approximately 20" x 20" x 12" and a combination of cheapo plywood and maple. I priced up the birch plywood but it came in at over £100 for the two cabs. Possibly something like basic plywood for the bottom, back and sides and perhaps a maple top to enhance the brightness. I have a load of maple lying around.
I have no experience with cab building, has anyone got any ideas on this plan?
Cheers
