| I think I am going to try and build my own speaker cabinet for a 15" SICA speaker. While I certainly have the ability to build a nice enclosure, I have no idea as to technical requirements i.e. dimensions, closed vs open, enclosure volume etc. Any suggestions would be VERY much appreciated. |

An open backed enclosure really can be any size you want. The small Nashville 400 sized amps sound great.
I built a 5E3 clone last year, and bought a cab off the bay from Rawcabs. It didn't have a knot in it, and was about $160!
I also built a 12" cab for a Bandit project that i used scrap plywood, put together with biscuits, it too sounds fine.

Here is a open back cab I built 2 years ago. Please double check the dimension with your speaker, if you decide to build one. I designed it to use Roland Cube 80XL corner protectors, and solid pine. The speaker support plywood is 3/4" because I had some laying around the shop, 1/2" would work as well.

I built a cabinet for my Eminence EPS-15C. It is the same size as a Peavey Nashville 112 except 1" taller to accommodate the 15" speaker. The back is partially open. I used the same dimensions as Peavey used for the bottom back and the same size as the NV112 chassis for the top section. Been using this for several years.
