talked to a local woodworker who is going to hook me up with a new 2x15 baffle for an old 4x12 sized cabinet.

i was thinking of painting the baffle white. i thought that might look cool from behind the grill cloth.

didn't Sunn do this for awhile?

yup, I'm staring at one right now.  Looks perfectly cool to me.

Yup, got one here...


IMO it's kind of cheesy, I guess, but this way everyone knows I'm rocking 15's and no puny little 10's, haha

i like the look of it and now want to paint all of my baffles white.

i wonder why the originally started doing this?

I really think it was just so they'd look a little different and make the speakers pop out at you.

I want some clear cabs. A 4x12 loaded with EV's and solid plexiglass should be around 175lbs or so but totally worth it. Clear is the new white (baffle).

didn't josh homme use those clear ampeg cabs for them crooked vultures live stuff?

i remember reading somewhere that plexiglass for speaker cabs (esp bass) is cool because it is voidless and doesn't really sympathetically vibrate. don't know if it is true or not?
