Thanks Scully.

Hey Summit, I got no secrets worth keeping....the handles came from my local electronics store, KGE. They got no brand on them.
I got most of the other hardware from Steamco in Canada. They have good service and their speaker cloth was really reasonably priced.

As far as speakers go, the Warehouse one's I used are a great deal. I'm gonna put up a better review later when they have broken in some.

okay. The new cab is awesome. I can't pretend that I have a lot of experience with cabs, and I never really gave my speakers much thought before, but this was a really cool project that gave me the opportunity to mess around with tone. Mixing speakers really adds depth. It creates a warm tone that devours fuzz, and makes clean tones more interesting while remaining articulate and bright. I used the cab with a 6 watt class A and a 15 watt Tiny terror, and both amps had great overtones, a booming low end, and a really killer sound. Fuck it is awesome.

I did find a nice deal on a slightly used Tiny Terror. This amp is amazing. I don't get why some people are saying shit like it doesn't take pedals or it has no headroom..... As far as I am concerned it responds great to dirt pedals and has the headroom that you would expect from a good 15 watt tube amp. The gain knob is particularly interesting and gets some some pretty intense tones when pushed beyond 3 o'clock. Fiddling with the volume and gain knobs gives lots of tonal variations.

In sum, this rig makes me sound way better than I have a right to.
