How to build a 2x12 vertical guitar speaker cabinet using recycled pine and simple tools. Loaded with a Celestion Greenback and Celestial Neo V Type, includes sound test.
Hi, good luck with your build. One thing I didn’t point out in the video, you need to account for the depth of both the baffle and the frame for the fabric, I didn’t leave enough depth there when I did this one.
I am still using the new Celestion Neo V at the bottom, with the Greenback on top. I recorded the intro music with a mic on the Neo V. Sounds good, quite like the Greenback. Plus they have identical sensitivity, so volume is identical. It also breaks up more than a Creamback, like the Greenback.
Thank you! I agree the sound is mostly about the speaker and then the baffle. That’s why making a speaker box is a good DIY project. Plus you can use solid timbers which is nice.
Great stuff. I have a couple OF bedside 3 drawer units that I've been planning on using for cabinets (possibly combos) for several years now...I just haven't provided my wife with the replacements yet (".)
@@turrafirmaguitarchannel Yes, that is what I meant. BUT, it was enough that you mention the simplicity of carriage bolts. So my little speaker I'm DIY-ing a cab around will need a very slight modification to get the 1/4" bolts through, with appropriate star-washer attached nuts. $1.82 right around the corner from me.
Cool! My next project!
Looks good man, Im building mine soon too :) Converting Laney combo with 1x12 to head and separate 2x12 cab.

I like the beautiful warm sound. I also dig the scenery and the palm trees and trees in the background. You have it nice in Australia :)
Thank you very much! I mic’d the new Neo speaker for the recording.
I was thinking of how to describe this but he finally said it. Seat of the pants carpentry. Good for rock and roll. Classic.

Im tempted to try to make a cab sometime!
If you have some pine bookshelves they are good to use. Good luck 🫡
Recycled 'n Rustic. Fantastic job mate !!
Many thanks!
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Well done! 🤘
Wow, thank you! It is a pleasure working with the solid pine. And this box ended up sounding good.
This is great. Saves a ton of money and it's all about the speakers anyways. Looks great too thanks for sharing brother

Bang up job..........................best use for a bookcase yet.

They are great candidates to become speaker cabinets. They were probably made into bedside cabinets by mistake in the first place 😃
That turned out great! A one of a kind cabinet for sure.
Niceee I always loved building speaker boxes also. Love that shit
Thanks, I enjoy using the pine shelving, the solid pine sounds good. And I am a big fan of Greenbacks.
looks great!! I think I might try to build this myself!
Go for it! Do you have some pine shelves floating around?
Very cool ,well done
Oi mate, gotta love the brown sound ❤
Yep, they have a brown sound setting on the Katana 😎
If you please, what size are the speaker studs? They seem a simpler, and easier to find item than Fender style speaker studs.
Hi Mike, do you mean the nut, bolt and washers I used to attach the speaker to the baffle?

@@nashmanzl sounds good! Or you might choose a bolt thin enough to get through the holes in the speaker rim?
@turrafirmaguitarchannel If they're too long I can cut them down. Roasted red oak 1x10!
