When your better half says that your playing sounds like trash, now you can agree with her:

What a cool idea!

I've been following the thread over at "Amp Central".

Now just think of all those guys that simply MUST have 4 12's behind 'em! This may pose a problem!

Very poor video...if it's suppose to serve as some sort of explanation.

I used to build subwoofer boxes all the time. I've built several out of industrial "tubes" that material is wrapped around. The tubes themself were made of 1" thick industrial-type cardboard...almost like plywood made of MDF.

I found a tube once that was 20 inches in diameter, and it was several feet long. I calculated for 3 cubic feet, plus a proper port (vent)....and mounted a 15" woofer in it (MDF caps on both ends). Best sounding enclosure I ever made, and it took me less than 30 minutes.

I've played around with Sonotube for decades, here is twenty inch hard wall. Not a speaker but it does make a statement! It's waxed spiral core for construction pillars. Too big, too heavy and too much trouble it has been an ass kickin deep space reflector for more than thirty years. This stuff is great for projects, we made a number of scopes out of it and we did put a speaker in a smaller piece once, was very cool!

I would actually love to see more of what's going on there. What little is shown....is covered up with script at the bottom. The guitar playing/tone, etc, is great. But if the purpose of the video is to show the "trash can speaker cabinet"... it's poor, in my opinion.
