I just started watching the video... you earned the like because of the shirt! 😊

Thanks for checking it out. Not a lot of people catch that reference so thanks for noticing.

So cool using car speakers! Loved the tone with the tube amp! 🎸

[@musicalmiscellany]

Yeah, I was surprised by how good it sounded. Thanks for watching.

Love this. My father in law bought me some speakers for our car but we traded it in and never did anything with em. Bought him squire strat and hes been jamming on that with headphones. Time to make hisnday!

Thanks for checking out the video. I hope it is helpful.

Man thanks you enlightened me to do a rehouse on 15w combo amp with 8”. I always wanted a 2x12”. I got my eyes on set of 12” karaoke speakers which is cheaper than “guitar speaker”.

[@musicalmiscellany]

I'm glad to hear the video was helpful. Thanks for checking it out and good luck with your project.

I love the surprise on your face when you plug in the tube amp. You look around as if to say "Something's wrong here... this can't be right, it sounds too good." It was a real pleasure to watch this whole video. Really surprising that a set of 'very cheap car speakers' sound so good. Maybe their response is just perfect for guitar, or maybe the way you've built the cabinet is just right.

[@musicalmiscellany]

That is exactly what I was thinking. LOL. "Wait... this should sound like trash. How did this work out?" I guess some combinations just work. 👍 Thanks for watching.

Nice job Kal,sounded really sweet. I'm always looking into dumpsters on the jobsites looking for the next musical instrument waiting to come to life,thanks for sharing 👏

[@musicalmiscellany]

That's exactly what I'm talking about. No need to buy fancy things. Just make something and you might be pleasantly surprised.

[@alwayslearning8365]

Thanks I will use some of your tips to make a couple of speaker cabinets for Christmas gifts. 👍😃🎄

[@musicalmiscellany]

That's great to hear. You could easily wire it with an 1/8" jack or RCA jacks to be more "consumer" friendly.

[@rock2blues59]

Great video, loved the build background music.

[@musicalmiscellany]

Ha ha. I figured that would be your speed. Thanks for checking it out.

I want to rehouse a 4" small Yamaha practice amp I got from a very good friend (we used to play with it in our band some 15 years ago) and was wondering if car speakers would do the trick. Good video

[@musicalmiscellany]

Thanks for checking it out. This little cab sounds pretty darn good.

[@bearshield7138]

Sweet job and yes surprise it sounds good

[@musicalmiscellany]

Thanks. I was surprised too.

[@jfrankcarr]

I bought an outdoor speaker cabinet at a thrift store for $5 and did a few wiring mods to make it into a guitar cabinet. Old speakers are often available at thrift stores although the quality and condition vary a lot.

[@musicalmiscellany]

Absolutely... and a perfect comment to showcase the theme of this video. Use what you have or what you can find for cheap. You may be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for checking it out.

I can't find a credit for the blues solo in the middle. Is that you playing? It's very sweet with some beautiful moments, I skipped back to listen to that again.

[@musicalmiscellany]

Alas, it is not. I did a search for royalty free blues clips and found that one. I was really nicely played though. This one is 100% me kzbin.info/www/bejne/epXYlJudmbesgrc and this one too kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJrWp3togN11fsk😁

How is the volume on this little speakers? Think it could keep up with a small drum kit or a bar gig? I’d love to make a 8 speaker cab with 4inch speakers. I just think it’d be funny

[@musicalmiscellany]

I haven't tried it but I can't think of a reason that wouldn't work. An 8x4" guitar cab might sound pretty cool actually. Phil Jones Bass makes an 9x5" bass cab called the C-9, look it up.

[@edt.5118]

What does the cabinet sound clean.

[@musicalmiscellany]

There's a clean sound clip with a 5W tube head at 10:35.

[@ujoojs]

since when johm travolta makes guitar cabs?

[@musicalmiscellany]

Are you saying I look like John Travolta? If so, I've not heard that before.

[@ujoojs]

@@musicalmiscellany yeah!

[@dysfunctionalcritiques]

Ha ha. Great shirt. Nerd.

[@musicalmiscellany]

Yay! I'm glad someone got the reference. 😆
