Dig it! Marshall DSL5c Mod

[xStonr]

After having this amp for some time, I really started to dislike the stock 10" speaker. I was tempted to replace it with a better 10" but I didn't have one that was 16 ohm. I almost purchased one but decided to see what else I had here. Turn out I had a Celestion V30 that was 16 ohm in a 2x12 cab I wasn't using. After taking another look at this thread I decided to make a cutout to accommodate the larger speaker. My work is a little sloppy, but the job did get done and that's the bottom line. If and when I change some tubes, I'll paint inside and maybe rotate the speaker.

Nice work.

But For future reference, Celestion makes a 10" Vintage 30 now.

That I do know jp. I wanted to use something I already had instead of having to buy another speaker.
Also, a 12 sounds better than a 10.

I had a DSL5c for a bit. It is a sweet little amp; probably shoulda kept it, but I can always get one again .

Watch out, that is how Mesa Boogie started. Someone challenged Randall Smith to hot rod a Princeton. He gave it a bigger transformer and cut out the 10" to put in a 12".
