Sign in to disble this ad
I have a 115 cab with some damage on the speaker board. The board itself is chipboard so I don't mind replacing with good plywood. I think the rest of the cab is plywood I haven't pulled the speaker yet to see what it looks like inside. Any tips or tricks on getting the old one off before i dig into this and do something permanent?

| thanks. It's an old peavey 115bx bw, is it likely glued in with no hope of recovering the old board for a pattern or is it stapled and caulked or something else? I like a little DIY so I'll just roll up my sleeves, pull out a screwdriver and have a go!

According to the specs for the bx, the cab is plywood.

I discovered, after drilling for casters, the 115BX cabinet actually is made of plywood. Only the baffle board is chipboard.
The carpet has a funky smell that I can't get rid of. I was thinking about recovering with some heavy duty white canvas I've got laying around. Thoughts? I would seal the canvas with varnish or similar so I'm not worried about stains or spills. I use this as a base for a BAM 210 combo so I'd probably put some protective boards on top to keep the wheels/feet of the BAM from ruining the canvas as well.
I think white with black trim would look alright, certainly different from the norm.
