martinbass7750 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Greetings, I have an EBS Neo210 and would love to add a 115 to it, but can't afford ebs at the moment. Would anyone here consider making a 115 cab to match the ebs? I can source drive units. I know nothing about cabinet design, so any help and advice would be appreciated.

redroque Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 may I be the first to point you to [url="http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/"]http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/[/url] - designs, theory and a good forum when you can learn stuff. There are several build diary's on our previous site which haven't made it here (yet - I'm still hoping someone does it!). max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinbass7750 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 I've had a look at Bill's site - no sure i have the patience/skills/space to make one myself, although I am thinking about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinbass7750 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi, I was reading your thread while you were reading my post :>) I've just PM'd JPJ - your cab looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynoband Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 If you really must make a vanilla cab then there are plans for a oblong box on the fane uk website and also celestion I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinbass7750 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 thanks - I searched the celestion website but couldn't find anything. I'll have a look at the fane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynoband Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Eminence also give cab sizes now alongside the driver specs on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geejay Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi, I built a 1x15 and a 1x12 a few years ago from Watkins (WEM) plans. These were linked with Celestion suggestions. I took it along to Charlie Watkins who tested it for me and gave me tea and bikkies. (Great guy with lots of stories). The 1x12 was just a vented box for which I changed the dimensions but kept the same total volume. I matched the dimensions so that it would sit under my 1x10 combo and then recovered the combo in matching material. The 1x15 dimensions I left as designed. Taller and thinner than most 1x15's but it carries through doorways without skinning knuckles or strange twists. The beauty about building your own is the ability to use more sensitive drivers. More sound output fot the same input. Always check the sensitivity rating of a speaker. The power rating alone only tells you what it takes in, not what it puts out. Sensitivity is measured in dB/W/m and an increase of 3dB is a doubling of power. My 103dB/W/m 15in speaker at 100W puts out the same sound as a 97dB/W/m speaker at 400W! As with many things however the sensitivity can be measured differently so not all drivers can be compared directly. I did have lots of pics and an article about how to build it which I supplied to Bassist Mag for them to run. They kept it for a year, decided not to run it as it might upset their advertising income from speaker manufacturers and then lost the article and pics. Happy to offer any help I can.
