Ordering a Custom Speaker Cabinet: What to Send Us
Most of the speaker cabinets we make are custom. A customer sends us a drawing, and we build the box the way they want it — finished or semi-finished, even for one piece. If you have never ordered a custom cabinet before, here is what we need from you, and what happens next.
1. Send us your drawing
A simple drawing is enough. It should show the outside size, the driver cutouts, and where the handles, corners, and connectors go. A hand sketch with clear measurements works. If you have a CAD file, even better — send that.
If you do not have a drawing yet, tell us the driver you plan to use and the size you want. We have existing structures for line-array, full-range, and subwoofer cabinets, and we can develop from those.
2. Tell us the material and finish
Our standard material is 15 mm or 18 mm multi-layer birch plywood. It is solid, durable, and holds up on the road. Tell us which thickness you want — 18 mm for bigger boxes, 15 mm for smaller ones.
For the finish, most customers choose polyurea spray coating or waterproof paint. We also do glossy black, matte black, and goose yellow. If you need a different colour, just say so.
3. Tell us the details
A few small things make a big difference:
- Connectors: the standard is Neutrik NL4 ×2, but we can fit what you need.
- Internal bracing and rigging: tell us how the cabinet will be used — touring, install, or rental — and we tailor the bracing and rigging to it.
- Handles, corners, and grilles: tell us what you want, or leave it to us.
4. We make a prototype if you want one
For a new design, we can make a prototype sample first so you can check the size, the finish, and the sound before the full order. This is normal for custom work, and we recommend it.
5. Small orders are welcome
The minimum order is 1 piece, and it is project-based. Small-batch and multi-spec production is fine — you do not need to order a container to get a custom cabinet. Tell us the quantity and the date you need it, and we will confirm the lead time. Custom cabinets are made to order, so please allow time for production.
How to start
Send your drawing and your requirements to contact@brave-audio.com, or use the Request Custom Quote button. Tell us the size, the driver, the material, the finish, and the quantity. We will check it, ask what is missing, and give you a quote.
We like making cabinets best — especially the big ones. Send us your drawing, and we will make the box the way you want it.
