I've built couple. That's a lot of handy work, I must say, but if you enjoy building things, then go for it, design something of your own

As much as one is willing to let go into "things"....how much science goes into these things? ...
From me personally into my "things" exactly zero of "science" went, yet I did not try to cut corners on glues.
Also, science always was, is and will be for sale. The things you make do not have to be
the problem with "wood" finish is that it isnt very tough, and looks like $hit when its all scratched up. i suppose there are some varnish's that are pretty tough (like the stuff used on a bar), but some of that can be a trick to apply and have it look worth a crap.
Some ELMER'S Crpenter's Wood Glue. I've used internal brace+glue+screws(from inside through brace) "type" joint method for the 2x8 pine cab. For the leather covered 2x5"+2x10" cab I've done it in combination of brace and just screws through and glue (it's a combination of material also).... What glue did you use? .
ah, I didn't take anything as "insult", see nothing "insulting" in what you are saying, really. Nevertheless, thanks for a note, it's true that words on b-board can be taken as not intended.BTW, dr zee, none of what i posted was intended as an insult....
Speaker(s) impedance, speaker(s) power rating and speaker(s) wiring has nothing to do with building a cab PER SAY. It has everything to do with SELECTING the right speaker or speakers and wiring them correctly to be used with specific amplifier. It is VERY importand technical issue, but it is a separate issue.The most important thing about building a guitar cab is pay no attention to the impedance rating of the speakers, or "matching" them to your amp head. What the heck does an amp head know about your guitar cab? Did it design your cab? Did it select the fine Corinthian leather finish?
And also wire them up however the spirit moves you. The wiring between the speakers should be just as much a work of art as the finish on the cab. One I added so many wires, it looked like a spider web. So I connected the amp head directly to the middle of that web; it was beautiful, man. Just beautiful.
