Both of those ideas make sense.  The kick plates would be easiest and add a little less weight.  The cabs quite heavy, the 100w Lorantz 12s I went with are 3kgs heavier overall than the 75w.  Good tip about the car guys using them, I was wondering where to look for them.

I used to get the Peavey ones. they are complete with the rubber ring and four clamps and screws to mount them.

I've found a couple for sale on ebay:

Thanks Harley  :thumb-up:   I'll have a look.  As an aside, I finally ordered a replacement NiCad battery for my Bosch cordless drill (the drill was made in Switzerland, or so it says).  I only procrastinated about it for a year or 2  :facepalm: since the original battery died completely. I finally found a replacement online (from Melbourne) and ordered it.  It's so dumb that the new battery will cost me more than I can buy a brand new drill for, but I like the Bosch and I hate throwing things out that still work fine...

Richard,
I know what you mean. I just got a pair of batteries and a charger for a Milwaukee drill I bought in January from a guy. They have different size batteries for different applications. The ones I got are 4ah, but if I want more torque, I'll need to buy a battery that is 6ah or higher. Those cost almost as much as the drill itself.

Ok some news, the cab got a mini work out tonight, rehearsing in my lounge room (it's so good to be able to do that, all my neighbours have asked me to turn it up (go figure)).  We are getting ready for out first proper gig, June 23rd  :whoohoo!: .  Nothing like a gig "line/peg in the sand" to get people motivated.  So the band loves the new cab, it sounded great, still a little tight (hey, brand new speakers), but I got to run it up a bit louder than the quieter late night test sessions.  So B200s on about 12 o'clock (it will go to around 3 o'clock ish live), vol pedal ~1/2 way ish (not full up yet).  And the separator plate is doing it's job, the stereo Fxs sounded good (even with the box vertical, which is probably how I'll use it mostly, really helps with the phase/flanging I get with the slant split stack I've been using (running in stereo) which is a sealed cab, and also this one is "semi" open back.  I had been pontificating about - stay with the rear mount or go front mount.  But that got easily decided when I tried to put a speaker in from the front. The front holes are 10" so it wouldn't fit without opening them up quite a bit.  Moreover, the 10" openings horn load the speaker a bit (no doubt the intension of whoever built this box originally).  The MP-2 clean sounds just melt you, the dirty sounds are good, particularly neck PU stuff, but I may need to tweak the patch EQ a little for bridge PU, but then I need to try it at normal (really loud) volume before I get too excited about tweaking it. 

Maybe the best way to describe it, is, they convey the (playing) energy really well, they sound "special" and a little distinctive, and it revved up the band, we belted out some good energy versions of the songs (lots of smiles etc.).  This box used to have 2 x 50w Eminence fender twin speakers in it (which I quite liked BTW), I have to say, the Lorantz 100 watters are way better  :thumb-up: .
