I am going to have a 1x15 extension cab built. My question is, is there a standard dimension for a 1x15 cabinet?

I didn't know what to tell him since I know bass cabs and guitar cabs can be different, so I thought I would ask the forum.

Also, what are your opinions on open-back vs semi-closed or closed? I will be using it with my Silverface Bassman Ten, that I split into a head cabinet a while back.

I appreciate any help, basically please help me build a good cabinet.

Thanks,
Daniel

There is no standard for any cab for any speaker.

If it's closed-back, you can use WinISD to design a cabinet. You'll need the Thiele-Small parameters for the speaker you will use.

I'd make it the same width as your bassman head, with a recessed handle (or put it on the side), and do closed back with removable panels, like the little walter cabs.

Just contact Rick Johnson if you need a cabinet.
He knows just what is required.

While Les and Erv speak truth, the Tommy Huff closed cab with SICA 15 is my Super Twin Reverb transducer of choice.
