Speaker cabinet size questions.

8/8/2000 1:26 AM
Firefly	Speaker cabinet size questions. I've just been to Weber's site and my head is reeling. I'd love to understand all the math envolved but I just don't have time to learn it. I wana build a Marshall style straight 4x12. How do I go about deciding the deminsions and how important Are they? Weber lists a "golden" ratio for the cabinet dimensions but they don't seem to be the same as the Marshall cabinets I have seen. What are your thoughts and experiences? What design will give me good performance without and resonaces or other badness. I can handle the building but I need to know what to build before I start cutting wood. Thanks to all, Firefly
