We setout to make a fairly small upright bass cabinet for practices and small gigs that sounded great. Most commercially available cabinets were either too expensive, to big, or didn't sound all that great. Designing your own cabinets, or having someone else design a custom cabinet for you, gives you control over various design criteria including frequency response, frequency balance, overall tone, power handling, looks, and price.

The current trend with bass cabinets is to incorporate a horn tweeter/s and a passive crossover to the basic woofer design. We didn't feel that a horn tweeter was realy all that necessary for the playing style this cabinet was going to be used for. A simple design using two 10" drivers rated at 150W 8ohms each fitted into a ported enclosure would provide adequate frequency responce for our needs. There is a not that goes into building a good sounding bass cabinet. Many specifics can be found on the web and many more are printed in text books. We wont go into all the details here, but you could contact us for more specific information regarding this project. Below are several pictures of the 2-10 Ported Bass Cabinet. Hopefully we will have a recorded representation of this cabinet in the near future.
