@mwooly1 I was going to comment on the insulation, but it looks like you've already mentioned it. The insulation deadens reflections *inside* the cab (a good thing), but also makes the speaker feel like it's in a larger cab...which typically makes a cab sound boomy. Try reducing the amount of insulation one panel at a time till you get the sound you're looking for!

Nice cab but generally you don't want to insulate (sound dampen) guitar cabinets. You are not duplicating a recorded track, you are making music with a limited frequency range. Along with the guitar, the acoustics of the cabinet are vitally important. I bet you would like the sound much better with the batting removed.

Cool vid - do you happen to have some sort of blueprint / plans? I'd like to take a shot at a project like this.

Hey river
If I didn't know better, I'd say your inspiration for the soundtrack was JMH, driving south.... love it!

Hi OldtimeMan, the bass response is ok, as i use this cab for guitar only, this is our first project especially built for my 1971 fender bandmaster reverb amp, i had some spare 8Ohm 30watt vintage speakers, the cab is a copy of a 1963 fender bassman cab, but it sounds a bit dull, maybe i put in too much insulation ! i agree a bigger 2x12 bandmaster cab sounds better, and rear-loaded PA speakers throw more and are very efficient.
