Hey TubeGeek, Nice work, having the option for a closed/open back speaker is a very useful. I did it on a couple of boxes and had it hinged with a small barrel bolt for an easy open/close.

How did you get 1 red and 1 white speaker frame from Weber?

Very very cool
the only way it would have looked better is if it were Black Gold and White and had a Big "B" where that Leaf is.  LOL 

Excellent job again

The base of this design was pulled from a Dumble I believe.  I followed the Brown Note D'lite layout.

That's exactly it.  It was last January when I had a thought to make a Canada themed amp while I was choosing the silver sparkle tolex for the silvertone project I did.  I noticed the red and white sparkle tolex and thought to myself....how cool would it be to build an amp with those two colors.


It just took off from there. Concept to reality.  It was lots of fun and a pain in the butt at times (tolexing).


Now I am already thinking of what the next project theme will be!

It really makes a difference between the two modes!  I am happy I did that too.

I just ordered one white and one red.  They had the option of doing that at the time I ordered them.  Not sure if they still do.

I was thinking it would have been a bear to try and spray paint them with the cones already installed.

Very nice touch to add them to the builds color schem.
