Have a go at it yourself! I threw mine together with a cheap table saw, and a router. Cost about $100 in wood and learning mistakes, but it was much more fun than buying one.
Yes, it looks like junk compared to some of those custom ones for sure. But I dig it. Spray bed liner was how I finished it.

Re: Rocket Combo Idea
Oh man, I don't know. This project is not for me. I've got a friend who needs a combo amp for church work. I thought I'd build him an amp, but never had in mind to build the cab too. I just wanted to go the easy route.soma_hero wrote:Have a go at it yourself! I threw mine together with a cheap table saw, and a router.

Building a cabinet
Rawnster
Building a good cabinet is really not that hard
You can form sturdy, lasting joints with the help of a 'cleat'.- a strip of wood running along the insides of joints which allows you to screw the cab together.(After adding some wood glue) That way you avoid the need for any dovetailing and specialized woodwork.
Also, the hole for the speaker can be cut with a jigsaw and corners can be rounded over with a rasp or a file instead of a router.
Cover that with some truck bedliner and away you go!
It's very satisfying!
