I decided to change out from a 1 12 to 2 Fender 10's speakers. It was really easy, all I had to do was take out the speaker board, and cut a new one the same size out of 3/4 " ply wood and I used a yard stick around the edges to hold the grill cloth out a 1/4" from the board.Once I had it all cut and ready I painted it flat black on both sides and let it dry. Putting the speaker board in with the 2 10's mounted will not fit with out notching out the 2 side mounting bars in side the cabenet.I ordered new grill cloth but didn't have it yet so I took the old grill cloth off the old speaker board and decided to "practice" putting it on.It was not in good shape to start with and had a lot of little flaws in it.But after installing it like Steve had said in one of the posts on here I got it on with no proublem, and straight.After the instalation it looked like it was never touched. The key is to use a lot of staples close together. Spread them out and that is where the sags begin. Wiring is the issue on this model.I bought 8 ohm speakers so to keep every thing right I wired one speaker with a plug to go in the main plugin, and the other to the extention side. I had to flip the switch from 8 ohms to 4 ohms to work right. I know I should got 4 ohm speakers but there was none in stock at the time . And I am going to build a 4 10 cabenet and I am going to change out the speakers when I get the new grill cloth in. And that way I have a cabnet that is the right ohm setting for the extention side and the pair inside as well. As for the sound it is a lot more defined and crisp. Also feed back is a lot more controlled.
