Thanks Bill

I ordered a WAN123.00 last night, unfortunately the supplier has emailed to say they are now out of stock. They have suggested a WAF123.00 as an alternative unit, do you think this is a suitable driver for this cab?

Thanks Bill. On this second build I have only fitted the woofer and connected directly to it. I think it's time to try a different woofer. Check out his comments on the same box.....he just posted a review today. https://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?p=296636#p296636 Thanks Bruce. Coinci...

I've tried 3 different basses and different leads.

I've tried the cab with a Trace Elliot Series 6 GP7 and an Ashdown RM800. I've played around with the EQ but it just sounds bland, there is no punch, if I slap the open E it's just a muffled thud.
I'm going straight in.

Thanks for your reply Bruce.

PL Premium isn't available in the UK as far as I know. I used a PU expanding wood glue. I had plenty of squeeze out, but wanted to make sure I didn't have air leaks, so ran caulk along the joints inside.

I am leaving the EQ flat. Adding bass just makes things worse.

I finished my cab last year and unfortunately was far from happy with the result. The overall sound I would describe as flabby, lacking definition and very mid/treble focused. Bass response was very poor and distorted. I have 2x 3012HO drivers and the results were the same with both. I decided to tr...

Thanks Seth. There are pictures of my crossovers on the previous page of this thread, you kindly double checked them when I was concerned about my hissing tweeter.

Thanks Bill, that's good to know

To elaborate when you said 'Connected full range straight to the jack , I feel there is noticeable improvement.' there should be no difference in the low end response. The low pass filter has no effect below 2kHz. With the noticeable improvement, I feel the first woofer may be faulty or damaged. My...

Two, 2 pole SpeakOn's, one wire lead off each tab, the positive lead's of the two SpeakOn's are connected together, the negative lead's of the two SpeakOn's are connected together, then the resultant combined positive and negative lead's go to the input's of the crossovers. If that's correct... tha...

In the plans, Bill connects the low pass board to the one jack, and the High pass board to the other jack with wires linking the two Jack's. 20230629_174628.jpg What I have hopefully done is parallel the second jack with the first, and then split the cables coming from the first jack to feed the sep...

Sorry for my poor diagram.
The +1 and -1 are the connections on the speakon sockets and the wires go to the crossover inputs.

Me again 🤣 I haven't been happy with the sound of my cab, it lacks low end and sounds nasal.I originally intended to build two 1x12 cabs so have a spare 3012HO. Connected full range straight to the jack , I feel there is noticeable improvement. My concern is that I have somehow damaged the original ...
