Speaker box for a 15" speaker.

Post by David Farrell »

Hi friends,

I want to make a compact, lightweight cabinet to house my 15" speaker. I'd like to make it somewhat Fender sized, maybe similar to a Twin Reverb?

I'm looking for anybodys input, ideas on what size to build.

I may use my Fender Showman head with this cabinet.

Thanks, Dave
Dave

Lots of cabinets were built to copy the Peavey Nashville 400 dimensions. Look for specs on existing cabinets. Evans made smaller 15 cabinets, I have 2 of them and Peavey had larger E115 that I also have. The Evans are lighter and more compact. I can take measurements and send pictures if you want.

This is a cabinet I built to mount a Eminence EPS-15 in. I built it, And added a Evans Amp and Pre Amp for a 12 string universal guitar. Then I received a Quilter Tone Block 202 I had ordered 8 months prior. I put the Evans parts back in its original cabinet, For an stand by amp. This speaker sounds great with Tone Block Amp..
The cabinet was built out of 1/2" Birch Plywood. It weighs 21 lb. I have the Tone Block set up to hang on my seat for better access to controls.

Since it was built to house regular amp. It has about 3" slot at top and bottom of back for cooling air, Gives speaker good air.
