Kalmia Cabs Custom guitar and bass speaker enclosure manufacturer in Birdsboro, PA. 100% hand-built, boutique cabinets at name-brand prices. Hi, I'm Eric Mannering.

Unhappy with loudspeaker enclosures in the music industry, I decided to build my own to keep costs down and have something truly unique and special to me. I hope I can do the same for you.

Whoa nelly, this one took way too long to complete, but it is finally at a point where I am comfortable posting about. Introducing the Kalmia Roman. 4x12 slant, custom, hand-built guitar cabinet. This one is a customized smorgasbord! Loaded with a pair Eminence Red, White, and Blues and a pair of Eminence Swamp Thangs, this model produces 540 watts wired to 8 ohms. Outfitted with an open-back (extraordinatily unique for a 4x12), double layer pine and maple speaker baffle, 100% h**p grill cloth, picture-frame front border, black tolex, caster wheels, white piping around front border, and custom neon-green font logo. Excuse the photos, it was already set up and plugged in. This prototype/first production model is named after the customer who ordered it. Troy, thank you so much for being patient while we worked on this beast of a box. Crank it up for me!

Using a broken childhood toy and a speaker cutout, you too can repurpose them into a laser-guided paper towel holder - cleaning up goops and spills faster than the speed of sound.

Took longer than I was planning, but the mystery box has been wrapped in black Tolex. It is expecting a very, very special delivery soon...let's just say it will "speak", or have a "voice", or something of the like - what for turning electrical energy into acoustic energy, and complacent neighbors into annoyed neighbors. Stay tuned!

Things I've learned about the mystery box: it likes to show its backside to the camera, had bad teeth so it received some braces, and isn't so rough around the edges anymore. It must be warming up to me. It also makes a good stool to hit your head on the ceiling with, if you're into that sort of thing.

Now this is a shape never before seen in the shop! Where did it come from? How did it get here? What could it possibly mean? This warrants further examination.

Out buying groceries. Eventually - I'm not sure when, but eventually - there will be a better way of getting wood to the workshop. It won't be nearly as exciting though, that's for certain. Build photos coming soon!
