Bill Fitzmaurice Designs XF DIY Guitar Speaker Cabinets
In an audio engineering course on how not to build a speaker the typical electric guitar cabinet would be around the top of the list. Enter Plan ‘B’: the cross-firing XF guitar speaker.
- The XF is available as the XF210 for two tens, the XF212 for two twelves, and the four driver XF410 and XF412.
- While many guitar cabs are angled back a few degrees, the XF210 and XF212 have a rear tilt of 15 degrees, while the taller XF410 and XF412 have an 8 degree rear tilt.
- With that much tilt-back you can actually hear what you're playing, even when you're only a few feet away from the cab.
- The drivers also cross-fire inward, at a 20 degree angle.
- This minimizes the center to center spacing of the drivers for reduced combing, and widens high frequency horizontal dispersion by up to 40 degrees compared to a flat baffle.
- The XF can be built with a removable rear panel that allows it to be either sealed or open with the flick of a latch.
