[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='960009' date='Sep 17 2010, 10:57 PM']It can make a good sound, just not a very bassy one. Stick 2 15s in it, block up the other holes and port them, probably big enough for that, and modern speakers will probably be happy in the space, then have all the style of a 4x15, but lighter and moderner sounding.[/quote]

Excellent suggestion, I thought of something similar but was shouted down by a mate as it would be sacrilegious but what does he know ..

My wife has sort of persuaded me to keep the thing, it looks scary and fits in with our bands style [ ogres mostly ] .. I will have a chat with our pa guy about suitable speakers, baffles and porting.

It is a big box, do you think I might get lynched if I chopped it in half and had two Marshall cabs

I have already thought of that one

Oh dear, these voices of reason ..... so it might well be up on fleabay soon then..... unless someone says [size=6]noooooo, it is great ..... don't sell it, you fool [/size]

I have just re-acquired my tatty old Marshall 4x15 cab, [with a sloping top] it originally had 12's in it I am told and the story goes that Lemmy once owned it and put 15's in but this is rumour and not proven...... hippy chat probably....

3 of the drivers [ Celestion G15M ] are shredded, one seems ok but I haven't tested it yet.

My question is should I get these drivers reconed or replace the lot with some modern ones or equal or higher power?

My amp at the moment is a Carslbro Stingray 150 watt so not loads of power. Currently sits on top of a small Mesa 1x15 of unknown wattage but probably 200 watts or there abouts...

I like a smooth sound so are the Celestions going to get snarly and cross at higher volumes with the amp I have?

The cab is not ported either so I suppose this should be taken into consideration.

I have been quoted 50 quid per recone so it is going to cost £200 plus some fabric for the box.

Am I being silly and should I sell it all on fleabay and get something modern
