    Ampeg B2 Combo w/ a Shure 15"

    About 15 yrs ago I bought a used Ampeg B2 combo for $500. I love the amp. Sounds great. It's got a decent amount of road rash...which I love. Anywhooo, I noticed long ago that the 15" speaker had a weird design in the center of the cone. I didnt think much about it until this week when I was...
