I got this idea from a YouTube video of a guy who wired this same amplifier into a Marshall Cab and was pretty impressed with the sound from that demo. I still had mine laying around so I did the same thing and plugged it into the 1x12 I'm making (Jensen Mod) and was even more impressed than I expected with the result. I went ahead and removed the amp portion from the original housing and slapped together my own housing with a speaker out jack.

Edit: I don't know why the photo keeps showing up sideways for me, i tried to rotate it and upload again but that hasn't fixed it. Apologies for this...

Any plans to finish the wood, or leave it raw?

As far as the cab goes, I'm going to round out the corners and either trim them with metal, hardwood, plastic, or if it looks okay enough, i might just leave the plywood bare. I did stain the rest of the outside with tung oil though I didn't show that in picture. The front will be covered with cloth to keep cats and kids off the speaker cone.

The amp itself will probably be left bare.
