    FINALLY:
    ------------

    Cabinet is all done. Installed speakers and did all the connections. Gave a 1/4" mono socket for connecting to the speaker cabinet. Using a small patch cable now to connect the amp and cabinet. Initially I thought of putting some bushes in the bottom, then I bought the thick rubber sheet meant for these slipper soles and then pasted it in the bottom. Now it's like the cabinet is wearning slippers. Cuttung thick rubber with a blunt blade is a horrible job.

    Finished the cabinet somewhere in the middle of the night yesterday and so couldn't test much except to see that it actually works. So the thing works :). Maybe sometime I will try to take it to the jam room and blast it at a loud volume so see how this cabinet sounds. Now the next thing to make a good amp.

    The leather looks damn dirty and the finishing in the corners aren't very impressive. But from a distance it looks really great. I tried using a thinner to clean the leather. It was a real flop. The thinner couldn't do anything. Now I have to see where I can get leather cleaner. Maybe I will check up with the local shoe store. They might have something. If I can clean it, then I will put a neutral polish to protect the leather.

    When I make the amp, I am gonna use the same leather to cover it and make it look like a Mini Stack. :beer:

    Come over too see the cabinet.
    Damn my hands are really sore :mad:

    LMAO @ the slippers worn by the cabinet

    if the leather was not tanned properly - nothing can be done ...

    ehy dude use a shoe polish for improving the look n finish of the leather ... (neutral tone polish are also available :))

    Was on leave for half a day, so increased the volume to a reasonable level and played through the cabinet. It's pretty neat. The cabinet is damn loud. It's got a nice clarity. Maybe I will put in some Celestion or Eminence later when I have some more $e$$terittie$. As of now it rocks. Hold on for a little while. I will post some pictures.

    Bought some Leather Cleaner and a Neutral Wax Polish. Tried cleaning it and polishing it. It didn't work out. It remains as dirty as ever but I started liking it the way it looks. Anyway the cabinet rocks :rock: . Play through it and you will really enjoy it.
