Hi all,
As I didn't find any topic on this page on buildig own gear, I thought to give it a try to start a new thread.
As some of you have seen, I'm combining the KPA with a Bogner 2x12 cab (=Awesome!), but as I'm still searching for something for the small gigs and studio work I came up with the idea of building my own cabinet.
But, there are some questions left which I can't find any clear answers on, and I know that there are a bunch of gear geeks here
My idea is to build a 1 x 12" cab which has the same width as the KPA+Case (just for the eye). When you look up to all kinds of website, most of the cabs are build from 18mm Birch Plywood, BUT, what if you use another type of wood? Is there really a big difference in sound reference if you use oak, mahogany, peach or whatever kind of wood (Yes, oak and mahogany would be a back breaker..)
Next I'm going to figure out if I want it front or rear loaded and ofcourse what kind of speaker I want. My main examples are the cabs from Bogner and Koch as I think they have a great sound for my purposes.
If anyone of you has any experience, tips, tricks or whatsoever, please hook me up!
Next question for you guyes; IF I decide to build one, shall I post the progress here? (And ofcourse soundclips when finished).
Thanks!
Regards
Sander
