Tuba 60 Accessories (speakon dish and location)
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2026 2:16 pm
All right folks, plan on building my Tuba 60 very soon. Got all the baltic birch (I have 12 sheets of 5'x5' total..I wonder if I can build 4 T60's with it...)
I wanted some opinions on recommended accessories that help make life easier.
1.) I bought Corner pieces - the C1567 Small Chevron so multiples can interlock as well as 1" rubber feet (https://www.penn-elcom.com/us/small-bla ... sher-f1691)
2.) I plan on creating hand holds for ease of transport
3.) I purchased a Deep Angle Dual NL4 Dish (https://www.speakerhardware.com/proddet ... h+Dual+NL4). For the T60, I am wondering if this is the best to use or not. I am not sure where the best placement of the speakon dishes would be. I have seen folks put it on the back, but that would prevent the sub from being placed "standing up, mouth pointed toward ceiling". I believe I also saw someone place it near the horn mouth, but then you have wires coming out if horn is facing a dance floor, perhaps a bit unsightly. Thoughts on this is appreciated.
4.) What is the ideal caster for this beast? I have 2 1/2" flush Mount Caster (https://www.penn-elcom.com/us/2-9-16in- ... eel-w2060k), but should I go larger diameter wheels?
EDIT: Added point 4
