looking for plans for a 2X15 in the same style as a bfm cab

[umph]

Been thinking about building my own cab was wondering how hard it is and such forth? Was thinking of going for a 2X15 that i'd be able to wire in stereo so would be able to choose between using one speaker for home or two for louder gigs etc. does anyone know anywhere i could find good plans for effiecent cab designs like the bfm ones? I had a look and don't think he does 2X15s ;<

The OmniTop 15 can be built as a 2x15 - the details are part of that set of plans.

Not a practical notion IMO. Two 1x15s, much more so.

It won't get much quieter with only one speaker running, as the other will work as a passive radiator (an untuned one, which will play havoc with your sound)). The difference between having one or two drivers operating into a fixed volume will be massive in terms frequency response, unless you're going to seal each driver into its own chamber, in which case just build a pair of 1x15s anyway!

Go for an Omni Top 15 with two 15's in it. For no other reason that I would like too see the build diary of one being built

In seriousness, I really can't imagine that'you'll need that much volume, my omni 15TB is plenty plenty loud enough.

These are very different cabs. The O15 is designed to run with high sensitivity flat to 50 Hz, for a full bottom end well beyond what commercial cabs are capable of. The OTop 15 has even higher sensitivity but is flat to only 100 Hz, giving a vintage style tone but with a much higher output than vintage cabs.
