  • what did you pay?

  • Nice.

  • You did a great job. No wonder you built one yourself. Is the music playing in this video used from the amp?

  • Nice cab man, just about to start to attempt something similar. take it easy! :)

  • Great! Been watching a few of these vids on u-tube.its great that people aren't scared ti do this.hat off to you.I def doing a 4/12 and a 2/12 in the future.has anyone really tried over doing it with with the wood.I.e uber thick.does it pay off

  • Brilliant!

    

  • Thats beautiful man! :-)

  • Nice job. One suggestion to anyone copying or to original poster. Make the speakers rear loading. The way they are now, you have to remove the front panel and then remove the fabric to make a speaker swap.

  • nice job ! what were the costs compaired to a new one from the shop ?

  • how much did it all cost ya??

  • wow this looks really good. i just built a cab and its no where as nice as this. You've given me a few idea's to improve mine. Good work!

  • Satch!

    

  • nice work! amazing look!

  • You should be proud of your hard work... that looks amazing!

  • that's pretty impressive building!

  • I want to learn how to do this! so i can make my own bass cab, any tips?

  • NICE!!! Thats one thing every musician outta do atleast once...build your own cab, amp, g'tar...I built me own cab @ age 17 all cuz I was cash strapped. It came out good if not great. By the way, how do the Rockets sound??? They any good???

  • @4142Wilb I agree Good Work!!! I have just completed a 2x10" cab and found the whole thing very satisfying from designing, making to playing. I also think the rear loading of the speaker is valid if you are going to push your speaker to the limits. But for general use probably not an issue. The one thing I did when designing was to check the dimensions of commercial cabs using the configuration I had chosen and then average them out to determine my cab size

  • What is that song?

  • Smart as fuck!

  • what were the measurements to the framing? and where did you get leatherette and speaker cloth?

  • very cool cab. i am totally going to this!!!

  • awesomeee

    

  • man looks really sick. now i saw on a 2X12 combo that they used a saw tooth method. does that work for a 4 X 12 idea? and how big did you make your mounting holes for your 12 inch speakers?

  • great project mate, very impressive, wish i had the gear and the patience to do this, this johnnymac guy what is his problem? I wonder if his parents may have beaten him? if not perhaps they should have cos he is pretty hateful and I cant see any reason why, poor guy.

  • Great job on the sweet cab:) but how do you setup the speakers and stuff inside the cab?? I mean like when you plug the head amp into an already made cab you can play instantly, but how do you setup the wires and plugins?

  • well i would have gone all black but thats a personal choice... as for that red, black, and white striped guitar in the corner...... you should get rid of it.

  • Dá pra mim esse cabeçote da Marshal.

    kkkkkkkk

  • Dyson - nice vacuum!

  • Very nice! I'm wanting to do something very similar

  • @johnnymac1986

    It's funny how you keep wanting and asking a whole lot of guys to suck your balls, really gay mate. And just for future refrence, no I will not suck your balls.

  • How did u wire the speakers and what ohm age were they? Series or parallel? tks

  • No two ways about it,man - great job!!!!!!!!!

  • how much did this run you without the speakers im looking to build my own 6x12 soon

  • Respect man, good job indeed. May i recommend you to put some acoustic foam inside it? it generally improves tone and low-end bass.

  • i like it!!!

  • That's awesome :) can't believe I've only just thought to make my own cab, I'm definitely gunna do this once I eventually get a head :)

  • Looked a bit dodgy in the beginning, but it turned out great. How do those rocket 50's sound?

  • Respect, that's badass.

  • The weights in the background are for?........ being able to move it around the house cuz that things huge!!!

  • I think this cab came out beautiful. Hopefully it sounds as nice as it looks. I am also using some Rocket 50's to replace some old speakers in some of my lower-volume cabs. Not sure how thrilled I am with them, but they were inexpensive and I don't gig with them. Great for practice. Hope yours is making you happy still.

  • This Is a beautiful cab, How much did it cost you to make it?

  • @drew31909 probably about 500$

  • How did you connect the speaker to the amp, did you connect it to a little amp or to a head?

  • nice amp!!! hows the sound?

  • Oh and also, How did you connect the speakers to the amp?

  • Comment removed

  • Thumbs up !!! great job

  • Fuck man thats a PRO job right there :) wooo good stuff

  • @johnnymac1986- Why is your response always the same? Did you ever receive a formal education or were you only on the receiving end of a dick? That's rhetorical of course. I suppose now you'll tell me to "lick your balls" or some other dumb shit dick response. You work in a wood shop and this guy doesn't. That gives you less of a reason to bag on him for it and only further exposes you as a dick bag. Go ahead, we are all awaiting your dick bag response involving your balls:)

  • does it matter what type of speakers u use cos im after doing a video on how to build this stuff on mega cheap and a 12 inch 4ohm car speaker is $24 would that be ok or is that a bad idea

  • i love this song lol.

  • nice job!!

  • Good job, nice finish. Would love to hear it with that sweet Marshall head!

  • N I C E !!! 

  • Good jobs!.Nice .. But I didnt like the color..Why do BITCH's Fight on the internet?...Low Lifes! Pinche pendejos..hablando cosas atras del el internet..Maricones. 

  • Great job! Love the color.  Thanks for sharing.

  • Nice job...but OOOOOPS!! I see a problem. You've mounted the speakers through the front of the speaker baffle and then covered the baffle with the grill cloth. If you should blow a speaker you have to take the grill cloth off in order to remove the speaker. Cabs with front mounted speakers have a removable grill cloth frame to which the grill cloth is attached. That way you an remove the frame to get to the speakers. With rear mounted speakers it's OK to mount the grill cloth to the baffle

  • Nice job dude!

  • That's pretty impressive dude. Mad props for making a one off cab. I would love to do that for my Orange. Being that the orange cabs are like 1100 dollars, being able to build my own and replicate it would be nice and probably way cheaper. Very nice man.

  • It looked awesome:D

  • w...i....NNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! 

  • dude. great job

  • it's very nice ;)

  • great project ,nice!!!

  • omg i looooove how half of the comments on here are directed towards me :) you guys make me so happy. glad to know that 99% of people on here support me

  • How much did this project run you? That's an incredible job you did. I would love to hear how it sounds.

    Kudos to you.

  • For something you made yourself, that looks class!!!

  • where did you get the handles and the corner guards

  • @johnnymac1986 yeah so you have to keep coming back so you can talk shit... you are just a bitch-made motherfucker. get a fucking life loser

  • @johnnymac1986 i think your mum should have swallowed the jiz that became you so she didn't have to waste her time and money raising a downer XD I think this is a great video thanks for posting it.

  • Wish I could do a project like that, awesome job my friend !

  • wat kind of wood did u use?

  • how did you punch out the holes? nice build

  • Great job, looks awesome...

    You should make your own logo to go on the front though just for that finishing touch ;o)

  • Great job, looks awesome...

  • great job man !!!! buuuuut could You sent me some mp3 recorded on this cab ???

    plisssssssssss !!! :) And write some details, about wood and speakers... :)

  • you should put a marshall logo on it to match the head. Nice work anyways man. Where did you find the blueprints for this? would love to make my own cab.

  • Sick looking cab dude, Really clean job. How much did the speakers cost ya?

  • @johnnymac1986 wow you are a hater huh?..give the man props for building his own stuff!..ofcourse we ain't perfect but you learn from it!..and hmm I'm guessing your 24years old!..I could tell you still a rockie I don't care how much of a pro you say you are but your age says it all! A Lil advice be open minded and you will learn more!.....I'm 30years old and yes I do know alot but still have alot to learn!..so take that dick up your ass and stop talking like if you was born perfect!...

  • @xxsurcentralxx yea he sounds like a noob. at the same time though, age doesnt necessarily prove that he is a rookie. experience can be gained at any age. while it is true that most ppl our age are pretty dumb and cocky, i believe that a young person with a good head on their shoulders and some basic common sense can achieve a lot with the whole music thing in general. tone and aesthetics are subjective, besides i dont see any of johnnymac's videos on here so he apparently just talks shit...

  • Where did you get all the black plastic cabinet parts like the handles and corners?

  • Awesomeeeeeee.

  • wow, nice job, really beautiful cab

  • What kink of wood was used for this and also what kind of wood can i use? im doing this for a project in school and i would just like to know some details before starting. also how much did all of this cost in the end? thanks for the help. and no thanks to all of the people who comment gay things on here. just shut up. thanks

  • pretty nice, looks decent. i personally would have added bracing internally and made all corners 45 deg. so to have no right angles and jointed the ens together for structure/quality, but as for an extremely low cost efficient cab kudos and nice work!

  • wow

    i also have the mosfet

    very good work man

  • AT FIRST I WAS LIKE ,OH SHIT THIS DOESNT LOOK GOOD !!! very nice finished product though,im impressed,did you research any baffling or how to brace the back board with a 2x2 to eliminate any hollow sounds and vibrations?i wouldn't mind doing this but i want an angled cabinet and want to actually IMPROVE on what marshall has done and not go overboard but make it stronger,did you use corner bracing and biskit joints or not?

  • Any 1 that has viewed this Can Tell Me ! where can i order the input jacks like the ones used on this vid two input or if any one knows who sells the 3 input jack on the back of some cabs ive seen PLEASE HELP thank you

  • @Trinity784  Check out Parts Express

  • Hi i like the look of the cab you made! known someone who had the the deal but anyways where did you get the input jacks too the back of the cab. ?can u post here or if any one else can help im in nj Thank U

  • I just found these Celestion Rocket 50 s on Amazon for cheap.

  • dam good job how does it sound?

  • how i electrify speakers?????

  • @Diesel2106 plug the speakers either into a guitar amplifier or a stereo but make sure the speakers match the impedance on your amp or stereo,many are 8 om so you would want to try asnd get 8 ohm speakers but just check your equipment outputs,ok bud ?

  • man you made it look too professional, a homemade speaker cab. is supposed to just be plywood on the outside! jk but nice job.

  • any blueprints available anyone ? thnx

  • where did you get the guitar speakers?

    i cant find them!!!

    please answer

  • Looks great. And took your time and didn't just build a P.O.S in one day like some other people we know. Great tune as well.

  • those are tiny twevles

  • i built a 2x12 cab today, half a fucking year dude? weak

  • @johnnymac1986 Yeah, but yours is probably shit compared to his.

  • @zedrein18 baltic birtch 2x12 with vintage alnico customs, custom analine stain, and a french polish. i work in a wood shop.

  • @johnnymac1986 Just because you use nice materials doesn't mean that the final product is going to be great. I decided to call you out specifically because you were being a straight up dick to the video uploader for no good reason. So what if he took a half-year or 2 days to make his cabinet, that shit is irrelevant. Just comment on his work and try not to be such a douche.

  • @zedrein18 suck my nuts bitch

  • @johnnymac1986 Typical response from a immature little fucker such as yourself. Thank goodness you are afforded the anonymity the internet provides so you are saved from getting terrorized by dudes that most certainly would expose you for the weak male you are...BITCH.

  • @zedrein18 sorry, i can understand you with my balls in your mouth.

  • @zedrein18 YEAH BITCH!!! LOL tell 'em zedrein18!

  • @johnnymac1986 And if you knew your ass from a hole in the ground, you'd realize that the best guitar cabs are XF (cross-firing, because i know you're a dumbfuck) and directional long-throw cabs. And did I mention that you are like a 1-in-a-million, grade A Douche Fag?

  • @johnnymac1986 Yeah, but you're a cunt.

  • @Tobeshadow no, im just good at building amps and this kid sucks, and so do you :P

  • @johnnymac1986 Wow all I have to do is look at your profile and I can tell you're a douche-fag. Life must be tough for ya.

  • @johnnymac1986 wow, life must have sucked for you when you were a kid, oh sorry I mean now.

  • @johnnymac1986 and of course you don't have any videos of your cab to back up your bullshit claims like the majority of the dip shits on here

  • Looks great man! Good job!

  • awesome

    

  • Hey were can I get the wires needed to make one and also the 1/4 input jack

  • Thats B.A. Brother!

  • half a year? thats like a few day project.

  • Top-notch!

  • did u use mdf?

  • wow that looks lk a pro made it

  • pretty nice! turned out better than i thought

  • Please tell me that you didn't use that heavy partical board crap for your cab!!!!!! That stuff weighs a ton per SQ. Ft. I use 11 ply birch plywood. It's strong, dense enough so it doesn't absorb too much of the sound waves, and it's a hell of a lot lighter.

  • that thing looks mean, lets here it!

  • how long did this take you i was thinking about build my own 2x12 over the summer nice job!

  • wish speakers werent so expensive the greenback 25's are 125$ a peice.I buit a cab i just dont have the speakers yet lol.

  • @korzon Check out Carvin, man! British voiced speakers, $30 a speaker. You can't beat Carvin's prices!

  • What type of material did you use for building the cab?

  • i think ther ewould be a bit too much internal noise resonance from it

  • Awesome cab! Just needs your own custom logo! I wish the vid was a little more detailed though, like what materials you used (is that MDF?) what adhesive was used for the leatherette, why you front-mounted the speakers instead of the traditional rear mount, what gauge wire was used, is that a CHROME GUITAR!?!?!? Great job, man!

  • that was great!!

    i wish i have enough knowledge in making my own loudspeaker..

    BTW,May i know what kind of speaker wire did you used @ 3:16?

  • @araymark the wire isnt extremely important,just use a decent 18,16 or 12 gauge wire and go red to red(or white to white) and black to black,you can also either use clips that will slide over the speaker terminals so its removable or solder them directly on which is said to be better but is messier and harder to do for the average person.

    any hardware store or an electronics department of an automotive or stereo store would have all of the things you need

  • Nice!

  • Nice Job Man

  • That was so cool. Great job on that cab.

  • Mkay so I'm building my first cab next week and I have a question, is putting tolex on just like putting on wall paper? Like you first put some glue down then wrap it and push out all the air bubbles?

  • how dose the cab sound

  • all it needs is a marshall logo!! nice job!!!

  • A smaller cabinet for those size speakers I think is a GOOD thing. Reason why is because BIGGER cabinets give off too much RESSONANCE. Bigger speakers sound kind of BASSY sometimes, so a form of "PADDING or PILLOWING" like one does a BASS DRUM will help prevent that from happening. Great Job. You should put your logo on the cab. It's unique.

  • holy crap, good job. I'm thinking of making my own this summer

  • Wow, that turned out really nice

  • THIS IS SIMPLY AMAZING!props dude =D

  • 4x10 cab. way to big, 4x12 cab. way to small.end product looks good though, ive been contemplating building one for a few years. dont know what speakers to get. how much did this one cost?? what wood type did you use? solid or ply

  • Nice workshop. I'm thinking of making my own in white

  • Hey, good job!

  • I like the Guitar in your video. But I think your cabinet is too small for the Speakers. Conflict of sound and all that. But you did a very fine job. I am sure Jim Marshell would consider you for his Plant.

  • Where do you buy the leatherette?

  • very cool!

  • Great amp man is there any possibility of you being able to send me any specs you have and the websites of where you ordered the other bits from as I'm looking into making my own cab? That be great thanks and that amp looks awesome

  • How did you wire the speakers to a jack socket? how does that stuff work?

  • sexy!!!!

  • leaky

  • where can i get the plastic/metal corners to put on my amps?

  • search thomann > guitars & basses > amps for electric guitars > accessories for Guitar Amps

  • Steward-macdonald i think

  • can u use like 3 at one time like hock all the cabs up

  • uuuu tom delonge's poster, i like it xD

  • loooove the red!

  • lets hear it

  • That's awesome!

    murphycabs . com

  • question what kind of sound will you get out of a box built like this if you crank music thru it would you have to port the box.

  • dude... You should just cut a hole in your wall and insert the unit from 2:02... turn your whole house into the box...

  • Nice dude... :) I like the background track,too... What's the name of the song? I guess Satriani plays it,right?

  • Awesome! but you should of angled the 2 top speakers upwards more, that way if you perform on stage with it, the sound will go more to your ears and less in the crowd, the sound man will like you more!

  • fantastico!!! great!

  • how much money did you expend?

  • and i love my spelling i ment wood lol

  • What kind of would did you use?

  • this looks better than a lot of professional brands cabs

  • looks great..good job
