THAT 9 SPEAKERS EQUAL PURE AWESOME!

hahaha that thing is ridiculous.

how hard would it be to make something like this? im really into the idea of big ridiculous cabs. that one is amazing.

I'm sure if you had the speakers, wood working skills, electronic wiring skills, and other parts. Not very.

cant be too hard to wire, if you had a bit of direction. the woodwork would be harder for me, but maybe some ikea style ingenuity could help, here.

fender style is maybe contextually more apropo of our purposes. what i mean is, suitably rugged fasteners and well placed, likewise. and sturdy enough materials. no reason that wouldnt/couldnt work as well as tongue and groove or dovetail or whatever styled traditional joints.

is this done? seems too elementary for it to never have been at least attempted.

Reminds me of:

eugh

Or if you have a 4x12 investegate how it's constructed then attempt to imatate it.

I think the difficult part would be setting up the ohm rating to match up to standard 4/8/16 ohm cabs. 9 speakers doesn't make for easy math.

It wouldn't be that bad to figure out. Its actually a bit fun.

the more exhaustive part would be the proper power dissipation so you don't blow them speakers up with wrong power rating.

MATH IS FUN KIDS!

You need to do it in stereo in some cool pattern with the speakers then when you stand in front of it using a stereo effect you get a cool back and forth kind of sound.... It must come with warning labels so as not to endanger small children or animals.

But wouldn't the odd number of resistors force you to use strange wiring to get it to work right? Like 3 sets of 3 series speakers wired in parallel? (R+R+R)||(R+R+R)||(R+R+R) or something similar.

EDIT: That's not strange at all. nvm, then. I don't know what I'm talking about. Each speaker couldn't individually by 4, 8, or 16, that's for sure.

Series/Parallel is a really common wiring scheme in Cabs.

I know, it's just the specific ohms of each cab that would get me confused, but now I realise that I was over thinking it. If you started with a basic rating (8 for example) for your final rating and worked backwards, it would be simple enough to figure out. I'd just need a pen and paper (and a calculator).

Anyways, I'm making myself look like more of an idiot than usual here. Back to the topic - What would the benefits be of a 9x8? More "tight," "punchy," and with a better high freq response than a 4x10 in the same way that a 4x10 is more so than a 4x12?
