The XF412 got picked up today. The client brought a small (25w) old tube head amp and a guitar for a short test. we were amazed how loud it could get with this cab. The wider horizontal coverage of this design was very obvious. A big and clear advantage over regular 'beaming' cabs. this picture was ...

Ok, The drivers got installed yesterday, project is complete. This is a one heavy beast!! (49.3Kg = 108 pounds) but it is going into a rehearsal studio so not going to be moved around too much... https://i.ibb.co/G5w1mJc/Weight.jpg And here's a view of the back with the middle panel removed: https:/...

I received the Tolex last week so I could finish the back panels (I was waiting to measure the Tolex thickness in order to determine the correct spacings) Here are all the parts drilled, sanded and ready for paint (flat black - all the insides) and covering: https://i.ibb.co/VMqQbXb/Ready-for-Tolexi...

Thanks..

This is how the cab is going to be wired:

I'm building this one for a client. He already has the drivers (Electro Voice EVM-12L) and will bring them for me to install once the cab is ready. I have started the build about two weeks ago but only now got around to writing this post. Important disclaimer! My build process is NOT according to Bi...

I’m starting a XF412 build for a client (build report will be on a separate post..) I want to add a BF logo badge on the front grill and as I lately made the plunge into 3D printing, it seemed like a perfect item to print. The design is complete: https://i.ibb.co/Lh52PY5/Screen-Hunter-32.jpg https:/...

Hey stranger! Good to see you back! Hi, thank you, but I never really left.. Though not active as before, I frequently visit this forum to stay updated and enjoy following nice builds. I still use and enjoy all my BFM builds (that is until the Covid 19 had put all the entertainment activity here to...

Many moons ago I built this jig.
Used it with a thin abrasive blade on a table saw:

Dan... I would suggest making the back bends to the grill as you planed but using the side/angled edges to attach the grill to the horn edge. This is what I did in the case of the (late...) Omni 10.5 some years ago. the angled horn sides practically lend themselves for this solution... http://i31.ph...

Clean, precise, articulated and effortless bass. Even in the untr...

Final assembly tomorrow...

Thanks, the name(plate) is binding...

This pair of 24" THTs is intended for a client's LARGE ht.
Completed the actual building. Now for the finish: corner rounding, some Bondo, sanding and Duratex.

Probably a stupid question, but do you own a metal brake (bending tool for sheet metal...I think it's called that). Those edges are perfect. :clap: It's pics like those that help me to learn. Thanks for sharing them. he said he had a metal shop cut and bend it for him Indeed. I ordered these grills...

...Did you add gasket or some dampening along the unsupported edges of the grille? Nothing added to the grill edges. they are solid and don't touch anything. I only notched out sections on the top and bottom to make room for the tweeter horns edges. (the grill's back foam actually sits flush agains...
