 Topic: Modern 21" Full Scoops
Posted: 08 September 2022 at 10:19am |
Wondering how many crews, would be interested in buying, new full Scoops, custom tuned for modern drivers like 18sound, B&C, but still play well with PD2150. Drew up design years ago, that would outplay Superscooper 21, but build cost due to CNC/Ply prices, meant it did not happen.
They would only be available with full grill, painted, min order Quantity 4x. Obviously would not be cheap, hence never getting any built.
If there is any interest, I would get set of 4x built, for demo purposes

I'll need to get some cabs built at some point as i doubt anything decent and used will pop up. Only have 1 option to go to for a new cab unless i get own plan drawn up and made and proto'd etc. But doubt ive got time for that

There are fewer builders around now, and I'm sure ply pricing is absolutely nuts.
So I wouldn't like to say, what a set of 4x will cost !!

Can confirm as I checked this week 18mm birch is £145 a sheet local to me in the south west, was told it went up to £175 a couple of months back but seems to have come down a little again. crazy when I was paying £65 a pop 18 months ago.

really is hard for the cab builders now and people with just a little hobby to get decent c abs built now , tbh i think if i was starting now it would be bloody hard work and I only have a small system compared to most people
just looked up here 148 quid for a sheet ,and with most full size cabs at 2.5/3 sheets it gets pricey when wanting 4/6 boxes :(

Also means my 8x Lev .44 Scoops, made from 3x Sheets each, with mad extra bracing, are now worth even more money !!
