Anyone Using a Thiele Cab w/ Their Road King?

[CudBucket]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to build 2 Thiele 1x12 cabs. I have an RKII and a Carvin Legacy. Just wondering if anyone runs an RK through a Thiele.

Thanks.

I run two thieles with my Roadster and love it. I would definitely recommend them for a recto! ToneAddictJon mentioned how an EV loaded thiele will keep a recto from being too fizzy because an EV is not nearly as harsh in the high end as a V30. He was right! No fizz here! I wouldn't get rid of my thieles for a recto cab at this point...

Others claim the thieles sound too 'boxy', but I disagree. I love them with the Roadster...

I wish the tolex on my vintage thieles matched the Roadster, but no biggie...

EDIT: You might see if you can get the specs from a fellow boogie member for a wide body thiele he made. I would love to have two thieles that were the width of my Roadster so I could stack them... :twisted:

I have run my DR through my Thiele and it sounded pretty good with the EVM.

Fredacabs.com has some really nice ported designs. Their designs are based on this book: http://www.londonpower.com/books/spkr.htm

They had some pretty good video clips of their cabs in action a while ago. Hopefully they'll put them back up.

I love 1x12's with my DR, I use one thiele and one open back (both with EV's).
MusicManJP6- glad you're digging them too and glad I could help.

i think the theile sounds good with everything. (maby i'm biased, but they really do) i would encourage anyone to try one (ev loaded of course) even if it is't one of mine (or better yet build your own!!). i even tried one through a friend's hot rodded fender princeton. it's basically an 18 watt marshall thing now. it totally kicked. instant van halen. then we hooked the internal speaker back up. he said "****, i thought this sounded great about an hour ago". not a fair comparison by a long shot, but fun.

bottom line, imo the only thing that sounds better than a thiele is two thieles. again i do sell them but i also love them, and encourage anyone to build their own. anybody who needs the plans pm me for the link.

Very true. Two thieles are euphoria. Even with one EV loaded and one C90 loaded they are magical.......

I hope I don't sound too stupid, lol, but is a Theile cab just the way a cab is designed? Plus, what are EV speakers. Does that stand for Electrovoice? I currently have a Roadster and a 4x12 Recto cab.

Thanks
