    I just hope that the amp you will build will match the 8 ohm output. Cuz there is another 16 ohm variant there, I can get 'em exchanged.

    All my amps will have 4,8 and 16 Ohm Outputs. Two 8s in || will go into the 4 ohm selector. Which is ok. That's how I use mine, Two 16s go into 8 ohms connected in ||. which is also ok. Stick with 8 ohms. Then at least you have the option of series or ||. Not sure what the difference is in sound. I felt my amp sounded Louder in 4 Ohms || compared to 16 in series but I can't be sure

    Building a cab is cheap. Any carpenter will do it. Cover in Vinyl like we were discussing. Its quite possible your amp will be the same. I hear Birch is a good wood for cabs. Make it adjustable for closed/open, or half open back. Use your imagination. This calls for some intellegent design.
