Speaker cabs for sale.

[nigelwright7557]

I have a surplus speaker cabinet for sale. Simply no room for it.

I have to warn you that this is home built but very sturdy but really does the business.

Used only once, Fane Collossus 600WRMS 18 inch bass cabinet. £150 ONO, speaker driver cost £150 !
Is carpet covered, plastic corners, grill protectors, castors etc etc

[One Vision]

Nigel do you have any picks please?

[Corabar Steve]

Are there any brakes on that cab?

[nigelwright7557]

Are there any brakes on that cab?

No brakes but I usually lay it on its side.

[A1DL]

Why are the wheels on what is clearly the BASE of the speaker, instead of the back?

[Excalibur]

Why are the wheels on what is clearly the BASE of the speaker, instead of the back?

Well they'd be pretty silly on the top, wouldn't they? :confused: :sofa: :sofa:



For those who haven't realised, I know where Tony's heading, and I can't wait for Nigel's reply. :D :D :D

I'm still waiting for Propeller to point out that Cabs is plural.;) ;) :D :D

[nigelwright7557]

Why are the wheels on what is clearly the BASE of the speaker, instead of the back?

The speaker would be far too low to push along on wheels if they were on the back.


Well they'd be pretty silly on the top, wouldn't they? :confused: :sofa: :sofa:


I'm still waiting for Propeller to point out that Cabs is plural.;) ;) :D :D

I do have a few for sale but I will start by selling the one.
I forgot to depluralise the header !

Note the speakers are advertised elsewhere too.........

[A1DL]

The speaker would be far too low to push along on wheels if they were on the back.

so why not have a detachable dolly board instead?

[nigelwright7557]

so why not have a detachable dolly board instead?

Coz it works just fine as it is.

[A1DL]

Coz it works just fine as it is.

except you can't use the speaker in the upright position because (a) it might roll away and (b) it would sound much better on the floor rather than being raised up on casters.

That box looks like a poor copy of those rather colourful "Disco Smash" boxes one sees at fairgrounds.

[nigelwright7557]

It can be rolled onto its side or top if required.
Its not that heavy !

I found in practice that a lot of bass is transferred through the castors anyway. I havent as yet needed it to be off the castors.
But there again it is an 18 incher so has a massive bass.

:youdaman:

That's amazing, Nigel. Have you considered patenting your unique concept of wheels on the base of cabs within Pro Audio? AFAIK only Jamo have done this before (and they weren't Pro Audio - so you should get patent clearance)

You could then licence your revolutionary discovery to the likes of FK1, d&b, Martin Audio etc - all of whom spend huge budgets on R&D and remarkably haven't come up with this simple finding. Then you get £5 or whatever each time someone buys a Res5, C4, etc, for the next 50 years.

To make this even more fandabadozi, you could even have 2 of the 4 casters being of the braked variety!

:whistle:

Why didnt you port the sub when you designed it??? That way you could get a lot more deeper sounding bass from the cab. 18" speaker in a sealed cab will just be punchy if im correct.

[nigelwright7557]

Its ported on the back.

The spec for the speaker says it mustnt be run without a port.

I dont remember why this cab wasnt braked as all my other cabs are.

[pulsemobiledisco]

IMO think that would look well out of place on a modern disco rig, despitre if it sounds good or not, it just looks too old fashoned, like a lot of home made speakers do.

disco smash,may not be the best around, but their certainly waterproof!

[Mark Wild]

So have you sold them yet Nigel? They certainly have alot of interest fella, an offer even?

So if want to hear and feel the deep bass, you will need to corner load the sub. Sound a bit daft to have the port on the rear when the party will be infront of it.

How many litres is the cab???

[nigelwright7557]

So have you sold them yet Nigel? They certainly have alot of interest fella, an offer even?

Many thanks for your interest but the cab has been sold to a local disco.

He said he wanted something with a decent bass output and was very happy after listening to the cab.

[Corabar Steve]

Obviously didn't care about looks or practicality then :sj:

[nigelwright7557]

Obviously didn't care about looks or practicality then :sj:

He was delighted with the cab and the price.
He said 18 inchers were hard to find at a sensible price.

I sold it to him for what it cost for the driver £150.

He said he was a bit of a bass freak.

Wooden cabinets are usually used for high power kit.
Plastic is cheap and nasty !

Although wooden cabs sound generally better, you of course are talking out of your bottom with that statement.

Perhaps you should ring EV and RCF to name but two manufacturers who make plastic cabs and tell them that.

I would also love to see a picture of your show on here, so we can really judge what is cheap and nasty.

Home made cab anyone?

[nigelwright7557]

Although wooden cabs sound generally better,



So you agree with me then, thats a first !

I have had a few comments that my disco sounds very good compared to the usual two plastic speakers on a pole setups !

You do realise plastic is used coz its cheap and makes more profit ?

I'm sure if I could be bothered to go through your posts, I'd find one that said exactly that. But I can't be bothered to read any more of your inane drivel.

[A1DL]

Nigel, when I said

I was not discussing the merit of wooden vs polyurethane cabs. I was merely pointing out that the speaker cab you pictured would only be any use to me on 5th November.


Wooden cabinets are usually used for high power kit.

Agreed.


Plastic is cheap and nasty !

A year ago I would have agreed with you Nigel, however that was before hearing the new d&b E8 & E12 poly boxes.

Admittedly I have always hated the sound of EONs and I'm not personally a Mackie fan, however sound is just that - a personal thing.

Truth is there are probably more cheap & nasty wooden cabs out there than there are poly cabs. The material from which they are constructed does not determine the quality of the sound.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Hooray, a sane voice.

[nigelwright7557]

Truth is there are probably more cheap & nasty wooden cabs out there than there are poly cabs. The material from which they are constructed does not determine the quality of the sound.


I am on a audio group with a number of experts on it and they all specify 18mm birch ply for a speaker box.

I build mine from 18mm ply and brace it with 2" by 2" glued and screwed, they are rock solid.

Plastic is light and cheap but resonates like mad.

[Dynamic Entertainment]

Yes I do, I charge £100 a night.

Nigel, i realise that Carlisle isnt that far from Workington, but 100 quid does not (in my mind) constitute a "upmarket" wedding. Ive lost gigs in very up-market lake district wedding venues because i was too cheap! I do not want to, and have no intention of, turning this thread into a "You cant charge that around here" but its been said before that you get what you pay for, and at £100 im begining to understand why you make your own stuff.

[A1DL]

I am on a audio group with a number of experts on it.

Which forum is that, Nigel?

DIY audio froum.
Its a mixture of experts and novices and everything in between.

Covers speakers, amps (valve and semiconductors) etc etc

I have learned a lot from it despite having been in electronics and software for 30+ years.

That's great. How about putting your money where you mouth is, and posting some pictures of your gear on the forum. We're all very curious.

With respect, the only pics I recall seeing of your DIY are that horrible runaway speaker on wheels and some dodgy amp circuitry inside a secondhand PC shell.

Let's see some of your "no expense spared" self-builds.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Companies are out to make a profit so sell cheap and nasty plastic stuff to that end.


Complete rubbish. You really think that companies like Electro Voice and RCF make plastic cabs, just to make a bigger profit.

Come on Nigel, not even you are that stupid.

Funny, you can buy £100 wooden cabs from Maplin and just over that from Class D and also Skytec and Soundlab make budget wooden cabs.

On the other hand, my cheapo RCF cabs were £1300 a pair and EVSX300s, whcih are one of the worlds biggest selling 12" speaker are also plastic and a lot more than the wooden ones.

No, just a hefty profit at the end of the year.

Sole traders can earn just as much as a limited company.

There is no such thing. A business is either:
(1) a Sole Trader operation,
(2) a Partnership (between two or more persons whom have entered into a Partnership Agreement)
(3) a Limited Company (registered at Companies House)

There are no half-way points inbetween, not even in cloud-Nigel land.


Sole traders can earn just as much as a limited company.

What is the relevance of that? :confused:


I note you have ignored my suggestion...

Nigel, one could be forgivven for thinking you are a registered carer, receiving benefits to care for whomever (hence that being your occupation) and you are also earning pocket money on the side from your two sole trader ventures/hobbies?

I guess this has hit a nerve and could get you in trouble or lead to your carer benefits being reduced, as you have stated you are earning lots of money from writing software and doing upmarket £100 wedding discos.

Nigel & Damian :eek: the mind boggles as to how the finished product would look :D

It would probably be invisible, just like Damian's website, Paul :)

[Tony Scott]

if you hold your horses and wait untill ive finshed it, then u,ll be albe to see,

Be sure to have it proof read damian....particularly if the spelling, grammar and punctuation is going to be anything like that in your posts! :p :D

I use Visual Page and that has a spelling checker.

Just getting into Visual Web Developer but Visual Page is much easier.

[A1DL]

if you hold your horses and wait untill I've finshed it, then you'll be able to see

that's fair enough Damian, however you have been on about your website for months and it seems a long time coming, considering...

see where I'm coming from?


your doing yourself no favours

please explain, Damian


did someone knock your website up over night ???

Our developer spent about a month on the initial "under the bonnet" work, whilst we worked on the content concurrent to this. The lead time from instructing the developer to launching the live site was circa six weeks. Ours is a fairly complex database driven site with numerous extranet modules and other "bells & whistles" that integrate with our back office and financial systems.

You are not comparing apples with apples if you compare the a1discos.com site, which has cost a five figure sum to develop to it's current state, with Damian's Discos.com or whatever it will be called if & when it is ever published, which I imagine (from your own comments) will be knocked up in paintshop, which by definition should be a relatively quick process.

Merry Xmas :)

Fireworks & Dreamweaver are what i use :)

am sorry to say, what you have their on your website, i could produce around to the same standard, i rest my case, all you have is an basic click and drop menu, with pictures and hyperlinks, no thing complex in my eyes.

[djsteve10]

How I can't wait to see your website!

[501damian501]

How I can't wait to see your website!

and why's that ???

like darren has said you prioritize things and paying £600 plus for a website designer is very low on that list, people have even said theyve seen home built websites looking better then one "professionals" have built...

[Excalibur]

yup... a close friend of mine is an author, so he will proof read it all for me...

I have a friend who is a member of the Poet's Society.

Damian, you are completely clueless, aren't you?

The EXTRAnet components of a site are not published as part of the public area (that would make them INTERnet components) hence you cannot see them to comment. I doubt you even understood my post.


Damian, as a new year's resolution, why don't you stop :BS: on internet forums? Your approach does not impress anybody, over the past months you have come across with an opinion on everything based on experience of nothing - when it comes down to the nitty gritty - the real detail - it quickly becomes apparent that you are a fool and a dreamer. Not only can't you walk the walk, you can't talk the talk either. You are officially the Great Pretender.

a great pretender, nitty gritty, like ive said, anytime pop up to my house, am only their untill jan, so make it soon please...

I cant walk the walk, no of course not :confused:

what am trying to say is, what i see from your website, doesnt have any expert parts or anything, over the top...

experirance of nothing... would you like a willy waving competation eh...
i admit i dont own a denon, because i cant afford one, BECAUSE i pay a :Censored: lot to run my OWN house!

Why would anyone from here want to "pop up" to your house, Damian, when you are sufficiently transparent on this forum to be judged for exactly what you are?

What's happening in January, are you being evicted?

[501damian501]

evicted what for, you think am a scum bag eh..., because its to expensive.

[djsteve10]

Damian I am no good at web desgin myself hence why I paid a pro to design it. If you are confident at photoshop and web design and all the other things that you say you are good at then why the hell are you dj'in???

Surely if you was good as graphic/web designer that is where your field of profession with.

You really do need to get out more.
