765.0. "NEED PLANS FOR MONITOR CABS" by SALEM::ABATELLI (Set/Mode=No_Think) Wed Aug 10 1988 13:47

    Hello There,
         I was wondering if anyone has "plans" for building "Monitor"
    cabinets with a 15" or a 12" driver plus a horn.
    
    Any information would be a great help, otherwise I'll have to find
    a monitor cab somewhere (don't know where to start looking) and
    get my ideas from that.    Can someone help out?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Fred

765.1	I have some plans	ANT::JACQUES		`Wed Aug 10 1988 15:30`	7
	I have an old Altec Lansing book that includes some plans for monitors, but they are all fairly big, made to acommidate a 15" and horn. I also have some Klipsch drawings that you could referance. If you would like copies, let me know and I will dig them up. Mark Jacques
765.2	how about guitar cabinets?	BOEHM::SUDAMA	Living is easy with eyes closed...	`Wed Aug 10 1988 16:42`	5
	While we're on the subject, does anyone have plans for a small speaker cabinet to accomodate a 12" guitar speaker, to be used as an extension? I want something about the size of a combo amp. - Ram
765.3	Any publications worth it?	CSC32::G_HOUSE	Help Me Spock	`Wed Aug 10 1988 17:25`	8
	Good topic! A friend is looking at building some new bass cabinets too. Are there any books on speaker cabinet design (that aren't too overly technical, eg lots o calculus) available. Maybe ones which contain plans. Greg

	Re: .2 For a combo amp type cabinet, almost anything will do if you will have an open back, which essentially removes the cabinet from the acoustical equation (in theory anyway). Re: .3 Radio Shack sells an inexpensive book which has plans but is oriented more towards hi-fi and is somewhat dated. Most speaker manufacturers will send you plans for free on request for cabinet designs using their drivers.
