Hi guys
finally finished my SMT212's and im well happy with them, its realy worth spending the time and money getting it just right.

i had a few problems finding the quality ply i was after (11 lam 15mm baltic birch) and getting the SN12Bs but other than that it went very well inddeed.

this build was the first time i had used a propper table saw with an adjustable gate and it made it so easy, in fact when putting them together i didn't have to hand plain anything at all and  the joints met perfect, Thumbs%20Up so a good table saw goes a long way i think.

right time for some pics:

















And the finished product:

cheers guys, ye its turbo blue aldcroft, as many coats as mentally passableLOL

there bi-amped running the SN12B's 130- 1.7kz on Matrix STR1500
and Beyma CP755TI 1.7kz - 20kz on chameleon 1100s  and see how that sounds

when doing  some tests the other day i did an A / B comparison to one loaded with Eminence Beta's and the difference was incredible the p.audio's just blew them out the water and kicked like a mule,

Good plans these, ill report more after a festival that im doing a stage at this weekend coming.

I don;t really understand why people with clearly excellent woodworking skills would build such a basic cab.
 
As far as I can tell cabs like these are great if you are short of time or have basic woodworking knowledge but if these don't apply a proper exponential or tractrix horn would be better.
me so horny, me love you long throw.

i can see your point but for me i wanted medium throw because i do both indoor and outdoor gigs and iv found with full horn loading it can be a bit to directional and unless your using lots of mid tops you cant get the coverage.

also the way i look at it iv got the dirvers needed now so in the future i can build something else if needed, the other thing with full horns is they mostly only cover smaller band widths.

TIFF,  I reckon the total cost was around    £1000

iv had a good play with them in my workshop and they sound very good so far, ill let all know after this weekend coming (live bands all weekend at a festival, 60' x 60' square)

I have to say i thought these were a basic cab but once you hear them in action you would be very impressed. They look sooo good too - think it's the turbo blue.

Great job EL, we'll give em a good blast this week... Big%20smile
