SPEAKER CABINETS
Amwatts started building speaker cabinets in early 2002. The aim was to build a compact sized 2 x 12" cabinet with a big, full and rounded sound. Most modern cabinets are built with either plywood or compressed woods. Plywood is made up from layers of thin sheets of wood and the grain of each layer is at a 90 degree angle to the next layer. Grain doesn’t flow in one direction. Using this type of material cuts top end frequencies and slightly dulls the cabinet.
Amwatts cabinets are made with hand selected pine. The wood resonates with the speakers giving a fuller, richer tone and brings out a broader frequency range from your amp. Dovetailed corners give strength and rigidity, making the cabinets durable for hard gigging. Solid 30mm hardwood bracing around the baffle board adds to the strength and resonance of the cabinet. Speakers are mounted on a high grade ply baffle board.

AMWATTS 2 x 12” SPEAKER CABINET
My 2 x 12” cabinets are a semi closed-back design. A small slot is left open at the back of the cabinet to let the sound waves created inside the cabinet be expelled through the rear of the cab. This lets the speakers breathe and helps the cabinet resonate, providing a larger and fuller tone. The result is a compact and resonant 2 x 12" speaker cabinet with big room or stage filling sound.

AMWATTS 1 x 12” SPEAKER CABINET
My 1 x 12” cabinets are a rear ported, closed back speaker cabinet. An adjustable port is inserted at the rear of the cabinet. This lets the speakers breathe and helps the cabinet resonate providing a larger, fuller tone. The port enables the customer to tune the cabinet to the exact tone they desire, resulting in a compact and resonant speaker cabinet with a big sound.
