I bought a solid walnut apartment. Uh, speaker cabinet.

Just picked this up for $50. Had to drive 80 miles to Auburn, but couldn't resist. Plus I got to have lunch with my uncle, so that was nice. This cabinet's top and sides are solid, single piece, claro walnut. The top is 36" x 18" x 0.83". Cutout is for a 15" speaker, but has a 12" speaker adapter installed. You have to remove a lot of the baffle and supports in order to swap the speaker, so I may remove the existing grill and make a snap-on grill to make front loading the speaker easy.

Cool. Looks big enough for a 2x12?

Crappy looking miters. The sound is going to leak. Send it over here for disposal. I don't mind doing a favor for a fellow Tagger.

Seriously nice looking walnut. I understand that stuff grows well in sunny CA. I'd be tempted to take it apart and reconstruct the whole thing, just because I can, LOL.

Make a new baffle if you can. I wouldn't fiddle with what I see there. Looks more trouble than it's worth. Good find. Good luck.

Totally agree. (Except for sending it to you, Phil...)

Already made a new baffle, sanded and got some gloss poly on the thing. Wowz.

Wow! That's some beautiful wood!

With no baffles in it, it looks like an empty canvas-possibilities are endless.

While waiting for the paint and polyurethane to dry, I knocked out this 3D printed jack panel.

This cabinet came out nicely. Sounds great, with a Celestion G12H and Eminence Wheelhouse 150.

Looks nice and tidy, Aaron! Props.

Per board ft.. total win!

The dimensions of it beg to be stuffed with wadding. Get that thing away from the wall!! It needs a little pedestal.

I love it!

Congrats Christian! Looks amazing in the room.
I love mixing Eminence Hemp speakers with Celestion G12 speakers.
I recently did a 2x12 with a Cannabis Rex and a Celestion G1265 and it sounded amazing with an Overdrive Special on the overdrive Channel.

Happy Friday

It also sounds incredible with acoustic piezo guitar.

I hear you. In my mind, piezo is it's own instrument. Electric guitar, acoustic guitar, piezo guitar: three different instruments.

[Reeltarded]

Truly. To make a dime's worth of ping I have always had to use $30,000 worth of processing and then not use it.

Rodney Mills had to use a 12 string track on one of my favorite best songs... it was intended to be replaced. It is hard to hear without a thousand cringes. On the same recording, we did one song on the front porch at 3am with two mics. Best ever. (Roll Down Your Window) and at the end a car drives by as if mixed by fate.. and it was.

Wow looks killer. Beautiful wood. I think the wicker grill that Mesa used would look classy. I'm not sure if its actually available.
