Anyone try the F12-X200 in a Mesa Boogie 1x12 Widebody Cab?
Anyone try the F12-X200 in a Mesa Boogie 1x12 Widebody Cab?
Have not tried but I'm also interested as I have 2 Mesa Widebody 112sBased on external dimensions:
F12-X200 front ported cabinet plan = 2.56 cu ft
Mesa front ported Widebody = 2.77 cu ft
Just wondering if anyone tried it.
Thanks
I have been on a bit of a tear with these. I have 2 and have been thinking long and hard about putting them in a 2x12. I am worried about comb filtering. Because people that know more than me said so A mini stack of 2 - 1x12s would be quite nice I am thinking \m/I had one in a Mesa widebody. Sounded very good. In fact, I took it out to put two of them togther in a Dual Rect. 2x12 horizontal, and I am not as impressed with the sound. I have two 2x12's loaded with F12-X200's. I don't know, but they dont sound as articulate as the 1x12 WB. I think I am going back to the 1x12's, and will pick up a 2nd widebody cab. My $.02

I bet they will sound just fine. Poplar just isn't quite as dense as birch but more dense than most pine. Glad to see you making progress. Please keep us updated.Not sure how it is in your neck of the woods, but it's tough to find high quality 4x8 birch plywood around my neighborhood. I decided to experiment with poplar. The plywood has at least 9 layers, but it can be tough to tell when they don't always alternate light and dark. I've only found about 3 really small voids after making the rough cuts. I don't have the best tools or great carpenter skills, but after cutting the 6 pieces for the first cab, they at least stay standing up without any noticeable gaps. I cut the backs to be closed back, but there will be enough wood left over from the 4x8 to make an open back version as well. I may experiment with birch for just the baffle after I hear how these sound.
Stage one (initial cuts) complete.

Nice - Are they flat enough in those cabs such they can replicate the different sounds of widely varying amp/cabir Axefx models?Today I finalized the assembly of my new stereo modeling amp system: AxeFX II XL+ > Matrix GT1000 FX > a pair of Bogner Cubes, each containing a Celestion F12-X200.
I'm loving the sound, I rolled up foam rubber and put it in the 2 ports of each Cube. It's not a heavy lift to EQ to after using Event 20 /20 bas powered monitors. As I continued to tweak settings, I liked the switch from monitors more and more.
Would running them in Parallel as opposed to in Series make any difference?I am worried about comb filtering.

Speakers close enough together that their waveforms combine into peaks and valleys.What would cause comb filtering in a 2 x 12 cab?
I would assume this only to be the case if the speakers waveforms were actually not aligned.Speakers close enough together that their waveforms combine into peaks and valleys.
That effect will vary as you move across the soundfield. Think of the ripples from two pebbles dropped in a pond.I would assume this only to be the case if the speakers waveforms were actually not aligned.
I mean if the peaks and valleys are exactly the same (sound is arriving at the same time), there would be no comb filtering...is that correct?
But if the two pebbles are exactly the same, dropped exactly at the same time (amounting to 1 pebble), wouldn't there be only one set of ripples?Think of the ripples from two pebbles dropped in a pond.
