4x12 bogner style diy & 2x12

Post by relic_elite » Wed Aug 29, 2012 8:15 am

Hi everyone,

First off, i have to thanks Tazin for drawing up that very good 1960B blueprint :thumbsup:
A very good friend of mine who is a furniture maker had his "saw itching" when i shown him the plan and here is the result (not completly finished thou)
so the 4x12 is basicaly the marshall 1960B "bognerised" (about 4cm was added in high from what i could mesure on the bogner straight of my friend).

all side done with one sheet (1,5m*3m) of 15mm baltic birch voidless ply
The wood used for mounting the baffle on is solid ash
and the pillar brace inside the 4x12 is a 20cm*10cm*35cm piece of solid larch wood

the pannel were assembled with dove tail glued with titbond, the front baffle is screwed and glued with PU glue to ensure that there is no airleak

2x12 loaded with a pair of 15 years old v30 and the 4x12 with chinese g12m25

Man, his saw REALLY had the itch, those are beautiful!

No grillcloth then? Careful taking them to gigs!

Are you running all 6x12s at once?

Nice work! Congrats!

Yes i do ! with 2 head :rock: my 50w heavy modded jcm800 clone + axefx ultra (powering the 2x12)
But in the near futur it is going to be marsha/jose spec 12000 serie and SLO100 all slaved into mosfet stereo poweramp :lol:, maybe use the axefx for some wdw and do some 1x12 cab but the other band members don't agree too much with me :lol:

i've always loved the mix g12m/v30 but in a 4x12 i've found that the greenback are drown out too much by the v30 (with v30 on the bottom and g12m on top) and like this i can actually do the mix v30/g12m i like and it is total tone bliss.
