Monitor Width - UAII Cab
« on: February 19, 2004, 04:47:53 pm »

I'm currently building a UAII cab, standard width (25")

That leaves me with 23 3/4" of width available for a monitor (using 5/8" MDF)

I'm going to use a 19" PC monitor to start, but might put in a "real" WG monitor down the road.

What size of monitor do you think I could get in there with that width available?

Thanks.

That width is INTERIOR width.

If you built it to 25", you have 25" for a monitor.
I remember reading a thread where someone got a 25 in monitor into a centipede with a custom frame, so I'm pretty sure you can fit a 27in monitor in there if you customize it.

I built mine to 27in on the top.... I can just fit a 27in monitor, but it's also got a large frame on it.

You're right about the width (brain cramp).

When I said that I'm currently building, I used the word "currently" loosely. I've only actually cut out a few pieces..... :-\

Here's a link to the WG site.

http://www.wellsgardner.com/wellsgardner31/supportdata/27%20inch%20D9200%20black%20&%20white.pdf

It shows their 27" monitor as being 24.390" in width, so it should fit fine should I decide to go that route someday.......

The centipede cab is 23.75" wide internally as well, so you should be able to fit a 25" monitor in there as long as the mounting ears are not on the sides of the tube.
