:o Better than what I was expecting for such a small speaker!

I defo think a single 8 would be good enough then :)  

Planning on mating it up with either a cubo 12 or a Tham12, keep changing my mind between the two but I'm sure i'll be happy with either tbh

Im planing on making a pair of 15" subs and use 2 top to one sub.

Looking along the lines of the Tony Wilkes style Q15 sub

i'v got a tham12. Deffo go for the tham12. The cubo drops off at 50 quite sharply i believe. And rhe tham plays higher and has a more "hifi" sound.

Mini-mad, what is your loaded with?

I was thinking of sticking this into a tham12, can't go wrong for the price tbh!

I believe thats one of the recommended drivers yes. I use the PD 12SB30..
even at just 400w of handling it does REALLY well. Its a loud box so you will do well with it. Im getting another pair of MTH30s VERY soon and loading them with the PD's too.

I have 4 tham-12s and use them with a couple of 10" + 1", the tham's are loaded with the recommended Beyma 12LX60 drivers and like mini-mad has said, they are very "hiFi" sounding. Until last week I only had one pair of the thams loaded so I've yet to hear what 4 sound like with the 2 tops when used in anger!!

The tops are each loaded with a Fane Sovereign 10-300 and a Beyme CD10fe on a Celestion H1-7050 horn, these are crossed over @3K and the horn has a L-Pad to bring the level down that's been fitted with an LC circuit to give the CD10fe/Horn a little HF boost to add sparkle. I will be building a second set of the tops when funds allow, I've already have the Fanes , crossovers, grills from Markie, paint, connectors and horns, so its just the ply and CD10fe's to get.

A pair of the Tham12s is quite a good match for my tops and as there is very little difference in the sensitivity between the Sovereign 10-300 and 8-225 I think they'd also be a good match for your tops.  I normally cross over from the tham-12s to the tops at around the 125Hz mark.

This is the driver that I have in my ones and that martinsson designed the THAM12 for, and for the size of the cab they are very good.

Bee on this forum is looking after all Tonys designs.

I'm just using the info tony posted and recreating my own take on them.

Sorry I am a Newbie... but this thread caught my eye.

I am lucky enough to have 2 x 8" Celestion Speakers on hand.

http://celestion.com/product/75tr082009d/ - http://celestion.com/product/75/ntr082009d/

I would love to make a cabinet to suit them, wired to 4 Ohm, obviously as small and light as possible without losing sound value.

I have been searching high and low to try to get some help with dimensions.

I have the expertise to do the actual carpentry, once I know what needs doing.

To Port or not to Port is another question, and if Port is the answer then whether round ports (width and depth) or a low vent is the answer.

If possible - could you point me in a direction I might find info on dimensions?

I intend to use them primarily for Bass Guitar - I also have a 15" Cab for bottom end,

Thanks in advance
