Taking a 1x15" cab and making it an oversized 2x12": Phase II!

Not really - there's a bottle of Tyskie hiding in one of the pics and the brewery supports a anti-LGBTIQ* campagne in Poland. So, no more Tyskie for me.

I just installed the Swamp Thangs. I forgot to take pictures due to exitement. They already sound fantastic. Can't wait till they break in. I also forgot to take measurements for the additional back pieces, but I decided on the convertible option. I hope it works and doesn't rattle.

Very nice. As a fellow Bass VI player, can you enlight your choiche to make the cab semi open back?
I'm currently doing a small 2x12" cab (Based on early 60's Fender Tremolux cab 71cm x 44.5xm x 28,5 cm) and I'm debating to go either closed back or semi open.
I will be using old H/H 85 watt 12" speakers from the mid 90's, it will be a tight cab for these speakers, but I want something portable to go with my amps, something I can just toss in the booth of my car

I wanted the cab to represent more of the guitar aspect of the VI, so I went open back. I'm now really curious about the convertible version of the cab and see how it sounds more or less opened but I can't get multiplex atm because of lockdown.

That's about the same I'm after. Just put the cab together yesterday. It's a bit smaller then my Bassman 2x12" cab. I think it's about the same dimension as a twin reverb cabinet. It's just big enough to hold 2 12" speakers. I found a nice 9 mm multiplex at work for the baffle board.
I want to try a thin baffle board. Normally I use 16 mm, but out of necesity, 9 mm will have to do.

I think I might copy your set up for the open back.
I will only use recycled materials for this cab. I found an old IKEA window blind in some kind of white linnen that was broken. This will serve a substitute for Tolex. I also like your choiche for speaker cloth. Looks really good.
