Re: Closed Back XF 212

In the plans it talks about airtight being important, maybe it is not? I usually like to secure the grill with screws from the inside and tolexing will be easier if the rear panel is removable. Adding the cleats is not much extra work so that is not an issue.

Re: Closed Back XF 212

I have used Durtex in the past but I stopped because customers ( not me) don't like it. So the I still pose the original question, will tolex on tolex create the air tight fit. Also, did you use a gasket around your jack plate?

Re: Closed Back XF 212

Did you use tolex? Also, how did you attach the grill ?

Closed Back XF 212

Would tolex to tolex be adequate to make the cab air tight. The reason I ask is that I am contemplating modifying the design to have one large piece for the back panel screwed on to battens. The reason for this is that it would make tolexing the the rear panel less difficult. The tolex would wrap ov...

Re: Rounded Edges

Yes I understand that purpose of the angled baffle and that should not be changed as Bill said. The question was if the cab cab can be rectangular, but still keep the correct angle on thr baffle.

Re: Rounded Edges

Just curious as to why you advised against it is it due to the extra weight?

Re: Rounded Edges

It turns out the metal corners I have fit better with 3/8" round over than the 1/2". Next question If I need to start a new thread I apologize and will move it. Can I make the box rectangular instead of slanted like the rectangular XF412?

Re: Rounded Edges

Thanks for reminding me that I will have to take the slant into consideration. I think 3/8 and 1/2 both look good but the metal corners that I use on my amp heads probably fit nicer on 1/2 round over. I also tolex the cabs so those corners hide the potential faults in my tolexing :D I think I need t...

Re: Rounded Edges

Thanks. I was also thinking i would be able to route through them since I have decent carbide tip bits. If I do that then it probably wouldn’t matter if I used 3/8 or 1/2 inch. So no need for the battens. But I’m pretty sure my metal amp corners are made for 1/2 round over but it’s possible the the ...

Rounded Edges

Hi, I’m wondering if any who have built the XF cabs have used a 1/2” round over router bit for the edges. I build guitar heads and use 3/4” wood with a 1/2” round over on my cabs. This way I can use the 1/2” metal corners. I’m looking to do the same on the XF cabs but using 1/2” wood with brad nails...
