Hello!
In this one I'll be showing an Isolation box build for my amplifiers speaker cabinet. Isolation box is useful when you want to play your amp with high volumes while making it much quieter and bearable, very good option in an apartment building and generally if you don't want to piss of your neighbours with 110db riffing. This video should give you an idea how to approach building one and the benefits of it. I also show another really good build in the end that is very versatile and gives you nice options.
This is a link to his website davidrossmusicalinstruments.com/
If you have questions about the build don't be afraid to ask and I'll try and answer your questions.
I will make part two with sound samples of the amp and speaker and a little more talk about routing and my options. I'll also put my thomann affiliate links to some of the parts I used.
