Cabinet Modifications

Modification:

Combo to extension speaker cabinet.

I occasionally see cabinetry that has outlived its’ purpose, as was the case with this Marshall 1 x 10″ combo in which the amp had fried and wasn’t worth fixing. I removed the amp, speaker and grille panel, and made a new grille panel to fit the whole space. It’s now a very portable 1 x 12″ Marshall speaker cabinet.

In these combo amplifiers, the cavity where the amplifier was mounted was covered with matching tolexed panels, again, turning them into extension speaker cabinets.

First is a Vox Valvetronix 1 x 12″ closed back cabinet. The 2nd picture shows the new back panel and the top rear amp cavity cover.
