[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 133759, member: 30"] Re: No compromises front loaded double 18” cab I remember my "eye opening experience" with bracing. Back in the mid/late 80s I had a regular gig every Sat night doing metal at a venue (outside when the weather was nice-inside rain and winter). I built my first "one boxes" that had a pair of 15" , a commumity M80 12" loaded horn (it was BIG), JBL2445 on 2380 horn and a 2405 tweeter. They were 6' tall. I knew how they performed. So one week I decided to add some bracing to the cabinets. At the next gig it was like I had more than twice the low end :) I was AMAZED at how much it tightened up the low end and made it louder. All of the bands and many audience members commented on it. I was HOOKED on bracing. Of course back in those days we did not have the "free trade of information" that the internet provides these days. I often wonder how things in my life would be different if we had the internet "back int he day". [/QUOTE]
