Looking for bass speaker cabinet plans.
I am trying to help someone find plans for bass speaker cabinets. He wants to build a cabinet with 4-12's. Anyone know where I can find plans for this?

The good people hanging out at http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/ might be able to help you out. Lots of speaker builders there.
I may be crazy...but I'm not insane.

Re: Looking for bass speaker cabinet plans.
4-12s with regular guitar speakers won't do very much in the bass region, and 4-12 bass speakers will probably lack in the upper range. A setup with 2-15s - e.g. Eminence 15 alpha or betas , or one single 18'' will do a much better job.
Selecting the better element in terms of power efficiency will be crucial. if you want to move some air...
There should be plenty of examples on the net. Here are some:

Re: Looking for bass speaker cabinet plans.
Here is a drawing of a cabinet I used in the 70s; the Sunn 2000S: http://www.richbriere.com/images/wpe48765.gif
If memory serves the dimensions were about 36H x 24W x 15D. It was a big heavy cabinet but served me well even in large venues.
Google SUNN 2000s cabinet drawing and you will find several comments
