Is it but to get a screwdriver inside is a tight fit. Screw don't go very deep though so it works.guitardude57 wrote:Nice looking stuff guys.
The port hole on the black set up is large enough to change the speakers without popping off the back panel....isn't it!

Re: Dumble 2x12 cab
I would remove the back panel for changing speakers.
You don't want to add to the risk of perforating a cone or some other mishap to damage a speaker, speakers are so expensive these days that I like to remove as much risk to damage as I can.
I wonder how close that speaker cab is to the Dumble one like Robben Ford uses?
Here is a picture of it that somebody from here put their best guesstimate of dimensions on.

Re: Dumble 2x12 cab
Does anyone put batting inside an open back speaker cab? Is it needed? I don't see any in the pictures?
Re: Dumble 2x12 cab
generally no. Not to say someone somewhere doesn't do... but... what's the point?
The reason for the batting is to "tune" or take up space in a sealed enclosure. once you remove the seal and add open air flow you also remove the need to control the box volume.

Re: Dumble 2x12 cab
Also I believe the polyfil type stuffing can make a closed cab think it is bigger in volume than it really is.
It can change the bass response in speaker cabs.
I have added polyfil to smaller bookshelf speakers before and it made them sound better.

That's true. I was able to tame a little high end by varying the amount of batting in this Theil cab I built a couple years agoStructo wrote:Also I believe the polyfil type stuffing can make a closed cab think it is bigger in volume than it really is.

Very nice cab.ChrisM wrote:Had to show this off...
Finally finished school last week so I got the time to complete my cab. All that is left is drilling a hole for the jack plate on the back. I have the jack plate on order along with amp parts for the next build. Just use a forstner bit to drill the back panel out a bit, should be simple.
Cab is very robust and very heavy. Quite pleased how it turned out though. I like the way the rough blonde tolex, oxblood grill cloth and white pipping all work together.

^found some nice 12AWG speaker wire locally at one of my favorite elec surplus places. $1 a foot. Seems like very good stuff, should take 100W of power fine.
Chris, How far in from the front edge of cab did you set the baffle board?
Re: Dumble 2x12 cab
Chip are you still using your 806?
If so do you have a EVM 12L in it?
How do you like it with your new Dumble amp?

Re: Dumble 2x12 cab
Tom,
Right now I have a 16 ohm Alnico Tone Tubby in there, it was a little smoother when playing the d'lite, than the EV12L. I'm going to try the EV in there soon, I'll let you know when I do.

From the cabs edge to the grill cloth it is 1/2" (bit less at the baffle edges with piping). So I guess the cleats are set back about 1" and a bit from the edge cause the baffle board if 1/2" baltic birch.

Hi Dan,dano-rator wrote:EDIT: Uploaded a corrected version. The copy at the top of the image incorrectly identified the depth of the cabinet as 12 1/2" which conflicted with the correctly scaled drawing which indicates 12 1/4".
I posted this in response to a topic over in the Tech. Disc. section but I thought it might be a good idea to put it here too.
Hope it helps!
Dan
Just wanted to say thanks for putting up this file. Helped immensely while putting together my dream cab.

Re: Dumble 2x12 cab
Hi folks, As originally promised ages ago ... here are a couple of picks of my completed 2x12 (and amp).
Cab is loaded with two 50 Watt, 8ohm, Eminence Cannabis Rex speakers , wired in parallel. Covered in truck bed liner paint instead of vinyl.
Thanks again for the fantastic plans Dan.
Cheers , John
