Not familiar with 3-d cabs.(I'm old) But, I think it looks nice and well executed.

Hi,
Thanks ,i.m also old -born 66 , side vents improved dispersion from sound-it is mix from open/closed back cabinet .If you play in club an stay beside from cab ,you can hear it also well-front bafle is also angled.

very very nice. Is all that routed by hand? looks like CNC it's so neat.


I like the idea of these cabs.

Hi,
Sorry for late response,Yes all that is routed by the hand. My real job is medicine... so with wood and router in my garage i can realy hang off .... no people, no ringing machines, only cold bear and dog - Chihuahua on carpet. I'm impressed also about how cabinet sounded .
