pages, 5½ x 8½", spiral bound with clear protective covers;
48 figures (schematic diagrams)
A handy
booklet based on Kevin's own experience building speakers
over the past thirty years, and on information from expert
driver and cabinet designers.
Learn
why speaker cabinets are built the way they are, and gain
the knowledge to select speaker attributes for your own
needs and taste.
This
booklet removes the mystery of good-sounding speaker cabinet
design for guitar, bass and keyboards. Can you mix different
driver sizes? Can you mix drivers of different impedances
or different power ratings? Should you use pine or plywood?
What brand of driver should you use? It's all here.
Traditional
design evolution is explored, along with solutions to age-old
problems. Topics covered are: construction materials, woodworking
methods, finish applications from paint to Tolex, wiring
details, driver selection, making new drivers sound like
vintage units, and shop safety. Myths are debunked, and
the truth about cabinet design is presented in a very readable
way.
Dare
to design bad tone out of your life!
