Hi :mrgreen: all, we modified the ElectroVoice 806 plans to start work building a 2 x 12 front ported cab. Basically, there are two theile cabs in one unit since the design has a dividing wall in the center. I discussed this in the theile plans thread over in the vintage gear forum but the project is being posted here because this seems like a more appropriate forum. OK, the woods used so far are 11ply birch for the sides and back, oak baffle, and maple for the cleats and interior bracing. We are going to use all black hardware, a tan wood stain finish, and a black and brown basket weave grille cloth with black piping for the front. So far we've done the wood working part of the project but we still have to cut and install the baffle. We're waiting to get the hardware so we can make sure the baffle is cut correctly.
The speakers will be a Hellatone 60L and a Heritage G12m both from Avatar speakers. I got the hardware from BLTSound and the grille cloth from Mojotone.
Our assembly process worked very well so this picture documentary should help other doing the same project. We built the interior bracing and the port first and then sized and cut the sides and finally the top and bottom. This was the best way to compensate for any minute variance in size with the parts we were using.
