Lots of views but no replies, and sinking down to the bottom so I'm bumping.

Dave,
Please PM me after you do. I may be interested in something you may have too.
Thanks!

Wondering if anybody has some of the old thin/sheer black grill cloth that was used in the Biacrown era that they wound part with. I need a piece of it at about 21"x21" for a 1x12 in cab. Maybe someone out there changed their 4x12 to S&P and has it laying around?

Anybody know what the wattage rating is/was for the Fane speaker that was used in the Biacrown era SA112OL?

Also, I'm making a 1x12 extention cab (mini stack). Any suggestions on the wattage I should be looking at for the extention cab?

Thanks.

Any luck? I'm looking for some too. If not, has anybody found something that is close?

I'll show you mine, if you show me yours ;) : Also, if you have a refrigerator magnet handy, try sticking it to a frame leg. If it sticks, it's stamped steel. I don't have any photos to post. Maybe in the future as I'm thinking of changing the grill cloth to the salt and pepper (I will save the old...

By the way, is your Fane a cast or stamped frame model? My SA112 has a cast frame 122918 dated 9/80. That's the latest cast frame (of that era) Fane I'm aware of. Is there any other info on your Fane (flux density, power rating, etc.)? Dave Thanks for the info on the ohm readings. As for the frame ...

I have an SA112OL with a 122918 Fane. When measuring the resistance using an old, simple meter I have, touching the 1/4" plug, I read 11 ohms. So I tried my SE4122 cab through the 1/4" jack and read 11 ohms. I tested a cab I have that has two 8 ohm Carvin speakers in series off the jack an...

having said that, we never say never.........

I was thinking more of a closed back extention cabinet for a 50 watt combo, making a nice mini-stack for smaller venues.

Ever consider making a 1x12 cab to the same width and depth of a 1x12 combo?
