OT practice space blog:

After 3 years, my buddy finally picked up his pair of Sunn model 10 PA cabs (along with his Yamaha PA). They took up so much space that I'm stoke to have back. Once the garage is all re-organized, I'm going to have a much easier time navigating my equipment. Acquired some new shelves and will sell some lesser amps/cabs and shit's gonna be real nice for a change. Now all I need is a rat fink guitar stool  8)

Space pics to follow in the coming weeks.

Yeah, man! Small world, indeed. Laurie and I are Leadbreath. Lump-doggg has his own project and we share that space. I met Laurie, Dr. Zayus (Jason), and Franksnbeans (Ben) through my lady, Charlotte (Babynoodles). All good people.

HAHA yeah if I had it my way there would be a sub in the mix, but it's not my rig, and you can only give so much advice before people stop listening to you and buy two non-ported home made 2x15 cabs. It's loud, but definitely more "Kilmister" than "Cisneros".

Are those Black Widow 15"s in them? It looks like a square box, plug it into WinISD quickly, figure out the port hole length and get busy with a holesaw. Seriously, a couple of properly calculated ports in the middle of each might do wonders.

Here's a crappy example, figure that those cabs there are about 16" x 44" x 16" gives you a volume of 185 litres, and we assume that is the interior volume. Figure those are older Black Widows and take the T/S specs for them.



The purple line is the response of 2 Black Widows in a closed 185 liter cabinet, the green line is with it ported and tuned to 60Hz in 185 liter box.



3 3/4" is a common enough vent tube size, with three vents you get a nice 1" port length, or I suppose you could cut a 1" deep slot type port with the same volume as 3 x 3 3/4" circular ports.

Obviously do way more calculation than this, if you decide to do it, I'm guessing at everything here, from the speakers used to the size of the cabs, to the construction of the boxes. The main idea is the difference in frequency response from the closed versus the vented box ;D

Wow thanks, Hemi. They are in fact Peavey Black Widow 15's. That's great info. I'll tell her about it tonight when I see her. Downloading that program now.

Hemisaurus

Make sure and find out which kind of Black Widows they are, different variants have different specs. Don't just rely on what's in the programs database.

The new band's space is upstairs in the warehouse of the bassist's business. Every day is Halloween up there.

It is pretty cool, but for the record, if/when SANDIA MAN becomes an option again, I'll gladly practice in a port-potty.

Jon might have to pare the kit down a bit, tho...

What's the deal with all the hanging guitars?

RacerX

Part of the bassist's collection. It's mostly basses, but there are a few guitars, as well.
