Does anyone have a set of plans or design for a 12" speaker cabinets or know where to find them?
I looking to build a couple for either Eminence or Telonic 12" speakers.
I have a set of the old black Peavey open back cabs with 12 BW's in them. I think they were called 112E. Can I just use that design?
Thnaks, JimE |

| The "Nashville 112E" speaker cabinets are very good. However, a smaller would probably work. I have been considering a 12" instead of the 15" and would consider the Nashville 112 amp cabinet as model. |

| Jim, I have a Peavey 112SX cab that sounds OK. It dimensionally is the same as a silver stripe Bandit. If you are interested, I'll measure it for you. |

Jack - I have both 15" and 12" and my ear likes the 12" better(most of the time). I leave them at a place I play twice a week and therefor wanting a set I can have at home or for a quick trip.
What do you mean by " a smaller would probably work"? It would have to be in the height?
Bill - Yes, I would be interested in the dimensions. Thanks. |

| Then Nashville 112 amp cabinet is sized for a 12" speaker. The amp, which has a 12" speaker, sounds very good. From that I would suspect the cabinet size was "tuned" for a 12" speaker. |

The new Travis Toy "TT" model Eminence sounds interesting. I've tried the Eminence EPS-12C (two different EPS-12C's) and although its supposed to be a 12" version of the EPS-15C its not. It has too much high and would really work better for a Telecaster than a Pedal Steel.
I'm using an Eminence EPS-15C right now and its working fine and sort of a JBL like sound. I had a Twin Reverb with an JBL K-130 speaker and the EPS-15C has that sound. |

Thanks Jack.
I don't think the TT will work. I'm using a Stereo Steel unit and it "needs" 4 ohm speakers I think.
Not really sure about this 4 ohm/8 ohm thing. Perhaps you can shed some light on the subject. Can you use 4 ohm speakers on a 8 ohm unit and vice versa? Please educate me if you would. Thanks. JimE |

There have been several threads on here about using an 8 ohm speaker with one designed for 4 ohms. There is a very slight difference in volume, but not enough to matter.
Tim tried one in his Milkman amp and said it didn't make any difference at all. |

| Jim, the Peavey 112SX is 23Hx19Wx11D. It is made with a removeable rear center panel, I have played through it both ways, I can't tell a lot of difference, maybe a little more bass, if you get loud. |

Thanks Bill.
Jack. I just don't want to destroy any equipment.
I have done some searching but this forum search engine leaves something to be desired for me. I get mostly stuff I didn't search for. Thanks

Jim,
I have a pdf file for a cabinet I just built. It uses a 15" JBL K130 but could easily be cut for a 12" speaker. I designed it to use the corner protectors and other parts from a Cube 80 that I found on ebay.

| Jim the Herculiner might work just fine. I looked at that too. But got cheap and bought the rattle can version. It took forever to dry. |

| We used this stuff to recoat all our PA cabs. It is awesome to work with, easy to clean up, looks great, and a little goes a long ways. It wouldn't hesitate for a second to use it again. |
