- A really easy 1x12 amp speaker cab build for less than $200, i used my Celestion A-Type speaker, a nice dark stain and a classic fender grill cloth. Thanks to Implicit Audio for sending out for the video
Thanks to the guys at implicit audio who provided the cabinet for the project.
Implicitaudio.ca
They have many different amp cab types available from 1x10 to 1x12 and 2x12 etc.
The speaker cabinet kit comprises of a birch cabinet, 2 sides, top and bottom, the front speaker panel is already cut and all holes are pre-drilled, you get all the hardware, screws, fittings, feet and handle, the only thing you need to do is put it together and order the grill cloth you like, i ordered mine from Stew Mac but they have lots of choice from classic fender, vox etc
Dimensions: 20" x 14.5" x 10" (WxHxD)
Weight: 17.4 lbs
Specs: 18mm shell, 12mm baffle & back
Parts Included:
Baltic Birch wood speaker cabinet parts
Handle
Rubber Feet
1/4" Jack

Thanks for watching - Derek

To tolex or not to tolex, what do you think?
Do it!! In a funky colour!!
Although as the video progresses it does look awesome as is.
@@AndersMcTee Haha that's what i was thinking!
@@AndersMcTee Thanks, it is somewhat classic, and easier to do than tolex
DO NOT.
I was looking for bee hive box cabinet videos and came across yours. Your cab looks great! Kind of expensive though. For U.S. $210 one can get a Monoprice 1x12 and comes built, with the $170 Celestion Vintage30 (not my favorite but whatever) inside....so it's just a $40 cabinet. Anyways, the idea I have for the $23 bee box is to try to fit the Monoprice 15w 1x12 combo guts, but I think it needs a little widening inside to slide in the chasis. Fun stuff.
Implicit Audio cabs are great. They have been making custom cabs for me for a while now.
It’s a really great kit, still use it with my superchamp as an external cab, good stuff!
Nice job. I like the look as is. The A type I think is an underrated speaker and it's not too pricey.
Thanks! Appreciate the comment and agree about the A-Type speaker.
Sweet!!! added to the Christmas list!!!
It’s only love.
Great song that brother.
Thank you mate as I’m about to build my own cab for my recently purchased Celestian Red Ruby 12 inch.
Cheers. ☺️
Well spotted! And good luck with the build, that red ruby should sound great! Cheers
SUPER COOL! Thanks so much, and I now have two projects. Perfect!
Excellent, I’m keeping you busy and out of trouble ;)
@@DerekPaulGuitar Ehhh...hahaah! Cheers!
@@daveshepard9154 haha I meant it’ll keep you busy (UK sayings sorry)
Great job
Thank you!
Sound is quite nice man!!!! Wow!!! Excellent review here. I must try one when I get chance. Great work.
Hey Robert! Great to hear from you my friend, and thanks for the comment! Cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar I don't know why I don't usually see the notification. Might be my schedule. I get excited to watch them. Hahahah
Hi Robert! Gonzo from Implicit Audio checking in here, just letting you know we currently have all our units in stock so orders are shipping out in 2 days of purchase. Let us know if you have any questions about our kits!
@@implicitaudio522 thank you !!
@@robertclarkguitar and it appears I don’t get reply notifications haha, just seen this, keep up the good work my man!
I am kindin' of diggin' the stain, so I don't know if I would tolex it. What you should do, a 2x12 cabinet then you can tolex it :D
Oh man that's a good idea, that would be awesome! i could definitely have some fun with that, cheers Rich
Definitely tolex in blue or green, as you mentioned. I'd love to see that vid.
Thanks for the comment, definitely tempted!
Nice clean job and it sounds great. I would add on to the previous comment and suggest a 2x12 cabinet covered in surf green tolex, and then purchase a Bugera V22 head which are great sounding and a good value and recover that with the green tolex. You would have a seriously custom great sounding rig. Cheers!
That sounds fantastic, i'd love to do something like that, i get to see what speakers i'd put in there too! cheers!
Looks like a fun project. Tidy cab, I think I'd either go for the tolex or maybe lacquer it?
Cheers Ben, it was a fun little thing to do, nice and easy too, that’s a good idea!
Bryan Adams...... far out !! 🎸
Thanks man!! 🎸
Well, I had a base speaker built for mean years ago. I discovered that the thing was a huge magnet and probably killed my computer.
If you don't put the speaking in some kind of magnetic shielding then you'll probably have a similar problem.
It’ll only happen if you have the speaker right next to the computer or CRT monitor? Don’t think it’s really to much of an issue today (could be wrong)
Looks awesome and sounds really good. Out of curiosity is it possible to connect the NUX acoustic amp to it? I’ve never tried this but I’m curious what it would sound like, or if it would sound about the same tone and volume wise.
Thanks! that's a good point, it could be done but the acoustic amp has an FRFR speaker (well 2 speakers, woofer and tweeter) whereas the A-Type in the cab is specifically designed for electric guitar as a mid boosted speaker, i'm not sure it'll sound much good (and definitely not better) cheers though
So is it just an input jack with 2 wires to the speaker? where would I buy the input jack?
You can buy them on Amazon for very little money, yes just an input jack with two wires!
@@DerekPaulGuitar I'm so gonna build a cabinet now😂😂😂😎😎😎 busy looking for the right speaker, I play in my house and kinda play very heavy stuff so I can't make toooo much noise I figure, so what do you think ......a cabinet with only one very high end speaker?
Hmmm unless you have an attenuator, then you could do the 2x12 :))
@@DerekPaulGuitar do you think a celestion G12 H75 would be too load, from reviews I saw I like that sound but I hear some people say that some speakers only sound good at high volume which I won't be able to do, my plan is to build a cabinet and get the best sound possible, remember I like really heavy stuff
I have experience with the creamback and a-type speakers, loudness is not the issue, but the tone will be different, I did a video shooting them out here if you’re interested :) czcams.com/video/ZGVBDWWN8LA/video.html
the cabinets look nice but they're all sold out.
Hopefully they get them back in soon!
For LESS money, I bought high quality WALNUT wood. A light coat of shellac and it looks 10x better than this. It's a box, easy to put together with some pocket screws and bracing.
No tolex- but next time, do use a better quality wood from the start. That kit would be ok if it was $50 or less as a back up ext. cab.
To be fair, there are many people out there with zero woodworking skills, my self included and a kit like this just makes sense, however if you do have the skills then I’m sure you’ll knock up an amazing ext. cab, thanks for the comment!
Both in terms of sonic properties as well as weight vs strength, plywood is the perfect material for cabinets: the layers make it stronger than solid wood, and they increase stiffness, which reduces the chance of resonating frequencies.
But walnut does look much nicer, no question there.
Sloppy staining...
How so? I think it turned out really well!
