Hi Todd,
I was talking about a knockdown sleeve if you will. the guys I talked to were talking about a set of panels made out of 3/4 inch material that would fit snuggly around the gray cabs. would be funiture grade, ie prettier and also reinforce the cabinets by adding mass to the whole cab. a large one piece grille with stretch frame grille cloth would cover both the internal horn and the woofer horn area with one large grille as opposed to the factory originals that only covered half of that area. I have also entertained sheet veneer, but have run into snags at the local level in finding someone who would have it available or order it. its also not very inexpensive. I think it was going to run about three or four hundred in just the veneer, not including any kind of grille. anyway, thats where I stalled and we now listen to the usual battleship gray cabs. they sound great but leave alittle to be desired cosmetically! I think an actual build of a cab like a magnificent would get costly and shipping would be very high.
thanks,
