Although it's been a while since there was any visible activity on the Basschat 12” cabinet diary, we have recently been discussing it again in pm. I have started this new thread because we have decided to take the project in a new direction.
Phil’s original design objectives for the cabinet were these:
Capable of keeping up with an unamplified drum kit (120dB across most of the frequency range)
Compact (60l or less)
Neutral /clean sounding
Easy to handle
Good low frequency power
Nailed it Stevie re: handles.
I have found it much easier to handle cabs with a large inset/flush mounted handle in general, as well as it being easier to stick an amp on top.
The worst cab I tried to move with one of those leather type handles currently on your cab was the Bergantino IP112ER. It weighed 50 lbs and the handle clearly couldn’t hack it - had to be replaced because it had broken down from use - and it was a pig to move around with that little skinny thing.
I love
