With a bass guitar, you need a bass speaker. Guitar speakers are designed for treble sounds, so playing the bass through my guitar amp would blow the speaker. Having built 2 guitars now, I thought I’d have a shot at building my own cabinet, and putting a speaker in it. 18mm ply, some box joints and glue…..simple.
After trying to cut the joints, and them not working very well, I tried again. When the box was done its was nearly 500mm cubed! The problem with making things is that you have to put them somewhere, and that was way to big. I wasn’t happy with the joints so I cut the box down to a more manageable size of 360mm and re cut the joints. I bought a jigsaw and cut them with that, and they came out as above.
With the joints cut and the box going together very nicely I cut out the front baffle which I wanted to recess back so the speaker had some protection. As I now have a jigsaw I could use the guide to cut a perfect circle for the speaker mount.
