Bulldog Engineering is a small shop that builds "big on tone" main and extension speaker cabinets. Presently, there are two of us that do it all. TJ is a professional wood worker and I'm a Machine Designer. We build out of a brand new 40 x 20 building in Greer, SC dedicated to this business only. Our shop is filled with every tool necessary to build superb speaker enclosures that working musicians can depend on.
I started Bulldog Engineering in 2009 after I got the idea of designing, redrawing, and selling speaker enclosure plans. Some of the plans I had for sale were designed by Electrovoice and JBL, however, I clarified the plans and made drawings of each individual piece of the cabinet. In order to make sure that my plans were accurate I built cabinets from my plans. After I built the cabinets I put them on Ebay only to realize there were musicians that wanted them.
I began building speaker enclosures in the late 60's while in high school. I was a keyboard player in a band back than. My small 1x12 Carvin amp looked tiny next to our guitarist 4 x 12 and our bass players 2 x 15, so I bought a Traynor YBA-1 and a 6 x 10 cabinet. Hey, but in the 70's, bigger was better when it came to sound so I build another cab in the school shop out of 3/4" plywood, the same size as my Traynor. Back than you could build what you wanted as long as you paid for the material. Well, my friends paid for the material and I built a bunch of cabinets, but was told I had to be more creative in shop classes so I had to temporarily stop taking orders for cabinets and build out of my dad's workshop instead.
However, TJ puts the PRO in "professional" as an incredibly proficient woodworker. He has worked with domestic and exotic hardwoods on a regular basis and knows his woods, glues, joints, and fasteners. I've learned a great deal from him as he has taught me the "ART" of woodworking.
The bottom line is this. Bulldog Engineering builds rock solid, take-a-beating, beautiful, kick-butt, made in the USA, speaker enclosures for working musicians, speaker enclosures that you can depend on each night, gig after gig.
GUARD YOUR TONE!!!!!
