All this talk about 1-15" customizing has got me intrigued.
If I was to get a 15" Weber Cali and a baffle panel from Mojotone, how difficult
would it be
for an amatuer to convert my 2-12 Dual Pro myself?
I'm no amp tech, but I'm not afraid to drill a few holes and do some light
soldering either.
Is that all it would take, or is there more involved? Like, what do you do with
the other
speaker leads?
Or, would it be better to pay a tech?

Fisrt thing to check is whether this model has a removable baffle
like the 60's amps (around 1970, they started installing fixed
baffles with removable grill panels in combo amps---too bad!) If it
is removable, sod the tech, do it yourself and have fun. You can
always put it back to stock if you f*** up. Hardest part will be
getting the grillcloth on straight, and finding a 4-ohm 15". If you
can afford it, get a blown D-130 and get it re-coned with a 4-ohm kit
(available, but expensive). You won't be sorry. Also, you will need
to make sure that a bigger speaker will clear the transformers (if
you cut the baffle yourself, you may have to offset the hole). I
would just remove the entire speaker/baffle/wiring assembly as a unit
and put it in a safe place in case you sell the amp later. Hard to
go wrong wiring one speaker---50-50 chance you'll get it right, and
nothing bad will happen if you don't. Have fun!
