Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Not sure what the specs are for the Scorpion, to find a close-ish replacement - I guess I could check with Peavey.

This (pricey) neo Celestion that's less than 6lbs. would be pretty tempting if I could sell off some things.....

Celestion BN15-400X Green Label 15 inch 400-watt Replacement Neodymium Bass Speaker - 8 Ohm
nice choice…no SPL spec (somewhat with the sensitivity number but it doesn’t tell us at what input level)….being a Neo type the efficiency probably requires all 400 Watt to make it sound decent…..price is good and it’ll make that cab lighter….:thumbsup:

Decided to do a "known quantity for size reference" pic, in case anybody had interest in such a thing.
Unfortunately, I've no cans of Mtn. Dew or similar, so I picked something else familiar :smug:

I like the size for a single driver cab. Too small and they can start to sound small. I had an Ampeg 112 that was awful. Likely as bad as any cab I ever played. Cheap Hartkes sounded better.
 
Apparently, this speaker & I have something in common!

Checked the super complicated wiring setup, seems to look like it's probably okay?

But, bad foam is, apparently, bad :crying:

Is there any way to replace that?

Apparently your cats are boutique cab cats and Peavey's are beneath them.

Well, being cats, everything is beneath them.

Is the smile from the liquid science experiment in the above pic? :roflmao:

Really dig that Tele looking P/J in the bottom right. Thunderbird PUs would make it extra sweet!
Enjoy the trip. But take it easy on the liquid science experiments or you may get a night's stay in a small room with a view of other small rooms with like views!

Celestion PULSE15 - 15 inch Bass Guitar Speaker
If you look at the Eminence site, they have specs that tell you what cab dimensions & port size work with their speakers.

I would put casters on the cab and not be too concerned with the weight of the driver. You could also remove those aluminum angle pieces from the grille to better match your Peavey combo.
