For the cabinet I decided to make one in the style of the Vox amplifiers. I don’t like the texture of the tolex Vox uses, so i used some other vanilla colored tolex and I also left out the decorative elements such als the golden strip and the piping.<\/p>\n

I made a cabinet which houses just one 12″ speaker, because I mainly play in my living room and the used Red Fang is already loud enough (even a little bit too loud). However, I made the cabinet large enough to house two speakers. Just the baffle would have to be replaced.<\/p>\n

The Eminence Red Fang was a cheaper alternative to the Celestion Blues, but the have become more expensive over the last few years.<\/p>\n

The cab is made of 18mm birch plywood (Multiplex), the boards were glued and screwed.<\/p>\n

Dimensions (W x H x D): 700 x 545 x 281mm<\/p>\n

The Chassis rests on a board which is insertet into the cab like a shelf.<\/p>\n

Plywood construction<\/h2>\n
Top and bottom with screwed and glued linings. The holes ar pre-drilled for the ventilation holes and cut-outs.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
Side walls are glued and clamped:<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Edge joint in detail. The chassis board will rest on the ledge in the middle.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Linigs for baffle and rear wall:<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The edges are rounded with a router and a round-over bit:<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cut-out for the controls and ventilation openings are cut:<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First test mounting of the chassis:<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As the cab is semi open, the inside can be seen from behind. To enhance the looks, the inside is painted black as well as the baffle.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The bar in the middle of the baffle serves as beam blocker and is also present at old AC30s.<\/p>\n
The speaker is mounted from the rear<\/p>\n

Tolex<\/h2>\n
I used vanilla-colored tolex from Tube-Town (http:\/\/www.tube-town.net\/ttstore\/product_info.php\/info\/p2359_Tolex-Tube-Town-Vanilla.html), and borwn Vox-styled grillcloth. (I have got it from an eBay store, which does not exist anymore. I know it is really hard to get and is quite expensive now)<\/p>\n
To cover the amp with tolex can be a little tricky, but there are instructions on the internet. I used a german one<\/a>, but I am sure there are a lot of instructions in english as well. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
First step: wrap the tolex around the cab:<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A small patch on the inside corners:<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
The most difficult part are the rounded corners.I have made no pictures, since there are a lot of instructions on the net.<\/p>\n
The grillcloth is attached with staples.<\/p>\n
Completed cab:<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
Without chassis:<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
I attached a locking Neutrik jack on the mounting board of the cassis. The speaker connector is now on the inside of the cab and is secured against accidential disconnection.<\/p>\n
