Guitar speaker cabinet plans.

When doing guitar cabinets try and select speakers with appropriate qts values that will put the f3 below the lowest fundamental tone produced by the instrument you are playing. You can use these to either make the cab or to get a general idea of what a solid cab should look like. After all guitar speakers are quite heavy and amplifiers that sit on top of guitar cabs are even heavier. Guitar speakers become non linear at very low levels compared to other types of speaker greatly reducing the significance of thiele small parameters in actual speaker use.

The speakers in a cabinet divide the amp s output power between them equally so two speakers that can only handle 30 watts individually band together to blast the full fury of a cranked 40 watt amp while four can handle 100 watts. Primarily the cabinet is a convenient way of housing the speaker so it should be solidly built to ensure no joint vibration unpleasant buzzing and be strong enough to withstand hard use.

Using the thiele small parameters of a typical guitar speaker you will find that halving or doubling the cabinet size makes minimal difference to the response. As often as not of course amp manufacturers put more than one speaker together simply to help the cabinet handle more power.
