Speaker Selection for Detuned Cabinets for Bass

[makinrose]

I tried cheating on the dimensions of a 1x12" detuned cab by slanting the front panel, 13" depth at bottom to 11" at top and it sounded a bit congested. I converted it to a 1x10" baffle and with the bigger internal volume it sounds fine, big and open sounding with plenty of punch. Next time I plan on following the directions!

Thanks for sharing the experience you had.  I think I'd better keep the cabs I build nice and deep.
