Customer needed a compact, lightweight, all-in-one solution for small acoustic gigs.

Mids are the Dayton PA165-8 6" Drivers
For the power amp and mixer,
I stripped the parts out of a Behringer B205D monitor.

Customer took delivery last weekend and was extremely pleased with the product.

Very nice! How do they sound? Never heard the Dayton 6.

Rick,
They sound very good, but it's the first one I've built so I can't compare to the Eminence.
I had to go with the Daytons, it was the only way to get the cab within the customer's budget.
He is extremely pleased, and it's perfect for their acoustic guitar/2 vocal gigs.

Great looking box Doug. Where did you get the jig for your company logo routed into the back of the box?

I get asked that question a lot. Answer is: I don't use one. I route it freehand on each cabinet.
Lots of practice, but it only takes me about 20 minutes now.

Great job Doug, can you guesstimate how much the amp/preamp modules weigh?

btw, I can see freehanding the script, but what about the "Pro Audio" in logo?

Thanks, I'm guessing under 5 pounds, but that's just a guess.
The cab can very easily be carried in one hand.

Also freehanded. Like I said... "lots of practice". :mrgreen:

Don't be too impressed Leland... I'm just too cheap to find a better solution. :lol:
