I noticed there were no pictures of the back of the speakers:

And then I noticed that there are no bids on the item.
- still on the search

Looks like someone slipped expanded metal behind the grill cloth. And, removed the cross members
...
Speakers look decent from the front, but scratches on the magnet covers always make me suspicious. That sort of thing rarely happens inside a closed cab.

Thanks guys, good point about the modifications and scratches, I always forget about that.
Makes me wonder if it's even an original enclosure...

Yeah, that part appears to be authentic. Very similar to my front-loaded cab, which came with 122142 Fanes.
