    Need help with dimensions for double 18 inch 2241h cab

    Im going to build two double 18 cabs with two 2241h in each for my cinema.

    i have seen the cabs on the web here and there, but unable to get dimensions for the ports.

    It would be really appreciated if i could get the cab dimensions also from someone who has built them.

    All help appreciated.


    regards

    willie

    I recall three six inch ports at 4-3/4" length for my 4719 doubles. Tuned to 40Hz.
    Good luck!

    Building for home? Here’s a good one;

    The JBL 4642A (with 2241’s) and 5749 (with 2242’s)measure:

    24” X 48” X 30” and are made from 3/4” material.

    The port is rectangular at 15.75” X 7.0” and 15.5” deep.

    These are theater subs that are tuned lower (25Hz) than sound reinforcement subs.

    ps just out of curiosity, how much is an 8 by 4 by 3/4 inch sheet of birch ply in the USA? Its 80 US dollars equivalent here.

    I bought 18mm Baltic Birch grade BB? 4’ X 8’ this year at $58. USD per sheet. This grade is no voids and clear (no repair spots) one side. Plenty nice for speakers.

    All the best!

    One built and up and running

    I have one built and its true, if you wanna hear bass ya gotta move air. and these 18s sure move air.

    i am just driving it with a BKS bass module and its excellent

    wondering what would be the perfect amp to drive the 4 18s ?

    BTW i managed to get the two cabs out of 3 Sheets of 8 by 4 ply.
