Anybody know where I might find a speaker board for a Twin-Reverb to accomadate a 15 inch speaker?

Lowes or Home Depot ..

Make it out of 3/4 inch plywood..be sure to make the speaker hole in the appropriate area ( slightly offset I believe) so the magnet clears the transformers..

Use the 2x12 speaker board for the template.

sorry for the obvious..

Ditto what Tony said. It's not hard to make one using a Skil-saw. Use the original speaker board as a template for the new one. On mine, I had to make the hole a couple of inches right of center (facing the front of the amp). There is just enough room for a 15" in a Twin. I had to chisel a "scoop" in the bracing at the bottom of the cabinet, for the bottom of the speaker to fit. The transformer sits in between the spokes of the JBL D-130F basket, so positioning is critical. Positioning may depend on the type of speaker you're using. Still, it's not a real difficult project, if you take it slow and measure carefully.

Otherwise, there is a company that will make the board for you, but I don't remember the name. Someone will chime in with it, I'm sure. Rather pricey way to go. If you're flush you might want to just buy a new Fender Twin Custom 15 amp. They look pretty sweet. What make of 15" speaker are you thinking about installing, and what year is your Twin Reverb?

Mojo will sell you a precut baffle, or a whole cabinet. Also, James Moorehead on the Forum has been trying to sell a Twin cabinet with a 15" baffle installed.

I am looking more for one made. I don't have time to monkey around with Home Depot and cutting and measuring and such.

Craig
What year is the Twin Reverb?
It could be a fixed baffle that is
dadoed into the sides and can't be
removed if so only the
front grill will be removable.
I would recommend having the amp
reworked to have the old style
floating baffle.

Email me. I might be able to rework
your cabinet and make you a baffle.

Quote:"Any Body know where I can get a speaker baffle-----------" Yes, at my house!! I have one that you can have for $15+ shipping. It's an extra that is laying around collecting dust, that I'll never use, so it's yours if you want it. I had it in my '81 Twin Reverb and I used an EV 15L, which is tighter than a JBL, and it worked great! It is covered already with a grill clothe frame that velcro's on. It does have a rectangle cut out for a horn, but just cover that up if you want. I'm not going to use it, so send me $15 + a little for postage, and it's yours if you want. (BY the way, My twin cab is gone to a good home.)
