Building new cabinet for my AC4TV
« on: March 05, 2023, 11:10:29 pm »
I decided to take this Vox AC4TV with 8” speaker practice amp and build a proper cabinet for it for fun. It is a great little practice amp, however the 8” speaker is a bit boxy sounding for an amp that is actually fairly capable at even 4w. So I decided to make a cabinet to house a vintage 12” alnico goodmans speaker I have. To make it a looker, I decided to make the cabinet out of african mahogany in the stylings of the heritage series Vox made. Here are some progress pics.

Waiting on the gold trim. But here is where it is currently. Mostly happy with it.

Stunning!    :worthy1:
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
