That is probably one of the most unique cabinets I have seen that was not some hackjob in his backyard.

best of both worlds. cool

Nice corner joints on that 2nd one.. And I thought wanting Dovetail joints in a cabinet was me wanting to much in a cabinet.

I cant put my finger on it, but your post makes me laugh outloud!

SO true.

All of his cabs have those corner joints.

Very creative. I bet these would sound really good as a wet cab. The one verical cab that is ported on top and closed on the bottom probably sounds good. It offers the best of both worlds as mentioned. I would love to hear one of these. Where are they located?

 

[moltenmetalburn]

They are made in Michigan.

I am thinking of getting the dual cab and using the closed for the dry and the ported for the wet in a wet/dry setup.

Yeh I figured that was just pointing out the picture of it in the 2nd link..
Good craftsmanship there..

Wow! Nice idea! I wonder how they sound. At those prices, you're not taking a huge risk either.

Thanks for your interest and kind words, all.

You won't find my cabinets in any shops, unfortunately. We are a pretty small operation. Every cabinet is custom built to order. If you'd like to check one out I will be at the Motor City Amp Showcase this spring.

I really like the unique designs. If I only needed another cab

 

[Rev]

Looks interesting. Not a bad price either. Would be cool, to see who takes the plunge on buying one?

Actually, I joined before you started this thread, but it was this thread that prompted me to post!

Nice forums. Glad to be here.

Wow, I'm really interested! Being a 2x12 man, that vertical 2x12 is very cool.

 

[moltenmetalburn]

I own three forte cabinets but am interested in another, it appears they are out of business? Anyone know? Best cabinet I ever owned and I've had them all. :/

 

[drewiv]

Yes. It appears they're out of business. https://www.thegearpage.net/board/showth ... ?t=1519621

I was thinking about selling my vert 2x12, but now I think I have to keep it. They're just so damn good.
