That is BEAUTIFUL !!! I'd like to run my system in stereo so I'm gonna need a pair of 2x12's please. . . . . .  I'm curious about the resonance with that wood type . . . . ?

Wow Mike, that is a beautiful enclosure. Looks totally pro! It nearly matches your floor! Hahaha great job...hope it sounds as awesome as it looks. :)

VERY NICE.  Superb craftsmanship.  Can't wait for a report on how they sound.

Mike, have you ever heard of these before? http://www.klopsdrums.com/

A friend of mine that works for the company is trying to get me to try them. You can pop a new speaker in...in 30 seconds. I can't get over the look though....which is what has made me hesitant to try these. LOL! I can imagine it would sound pretty cool though and the sound samples that have up are pretty convincing. It's definitely "different". LOL!

This is very inspiring!  I have a pair of 12" Goodmans Audiom 12 P speakers from the 70's that I've been meaning to put in a cab.  They have now come to the front of my mind.

Mike - did you use standard rubber feet for the cabs?  What amp are you driving the speakers with?

HERITAGE SERIES, HAND BUILT IN ENGLAND 22 January 2005
Celestion announces the debut of its Heritage Series guitar speakers, a perfect recreation of the classic G12M and G12H speakers that helped forge the sound of the guitar greats during the 1960s "British Invasion."
 Adhering precisely to the initial design notes and specifications of the original speakers that were rediscovered during a recent Celestion factory move, the new Heritage Series is hand-built in England and pays strict attention to detail right down to the voice coil former material, glue formulations and edge-treatment. 
In addition, close consideration has been paid to matching the coil and magnetic flux specifications of the 1960s models, while particulars including solder-only tag panels and original “Thames Ditton” labels ensure the Heritage G12M and G12H look as authentic as they sound. 
The original G12M became known as the “Greenback,” for the green casing of its medium weight ceramic magnet. 
This new Heritage Series G12M pays faithful homage to its predecessor with a silky, smooth tone and distinctive “sports-car growl.” 
The Greenback of the 1960s was also a highly articulate speaker, perfect for the pioneering lead guitarists of the time. 
Like any piece of technology, the basic Greenback’s tonal characteristics evolved over time, moving away from those of the original model. 
But now, Celestion has recreated the classic 1960s G12M for a new generation of rock and blues guitarists, using exactly the same materials and construction techniques. 

The Heritage Series G12M is a 12-inch speaker with a pressed-steel chassis that features a 20-Watt power rating, 1.75-inch round copper voice coil, 8 or 15 Ohm nominal impedance, 96 dB sensitivity, and frequency response of 75-5000 Hz. 
In every tonal and sonic aspect, the Heritage Series G12M remains a painstakingly exact replica of the original. 
Celestion’s new Heritage Series G12H recalls all the power, higher sensitivity and authority of its vintage low resonance forerunner. 

Rated at 30 Watts, the 12-inch Heritage Series G12H has all the same features that made the original low resonance G12H model speaker so popular, including a pressed-steel chassis, 1.75-inch round copper voice coil, ceramic 50 oz. magnet, impedance rating of 8 or 15 Ohm, and low 55 Hz resonance point, along with a 55-5,000 Hz frequency range. 

The new Celestion Heritage Series G12H speaker exudes thick, syrupy tones with a deep, growling bottom end and will allow guitarists to accurately recreate the prized guitar tones of rock’s own classic era.
