This one took a while getting just right.
The idea behind it was to get something sounding in between a 2x12 & 4x12 as i love the punchiness of 2x12 cabs but i like the fullness of 4x12s but i hate the low end bloat they often have.
I went out and tried a fair few cabs and noted down what i did and didn't like about them as well as the dimensions/speaker placement etc
I then discussed things further with Tom @ Roadkill Cabs and he came up with the idea of altering the dimensions of his stag model and placing the speakers more towards the top of the cab for better projection into the room.
The internals of the cab are also kind of split into two 1x12s (i'll get some pics of this) rather than the usual single piece of wood for bracing to the back plate. This also seems a lot more substantial than what I have seen in a lot of cabs.
The result is exactly what i wanted. Very open,detailed and clear sounding cab with excellent highs, precise mids and a very tight low end without the additional resonance that you can get that can muddy up your sound.
Speakers are Legend V128s wired in series for 16ohm.
For now there is just a very quick pic. I will get some more tomorrow once I have moved all of the gear around.
Also the dimensions are as follows.
690 w x 490 h x 340 d
