As mentioned here:

The Mesa is open back and I think I'm going to do a closed back for the new cab, just to have a little variety for running them solo.

Stumbled onto a Peavey Blue Marvel 12" 8 ohm for $20 and grabbed it just to have a speaker as a baseline speaker. I can't imagine it's going to be the best speaker in the world, but all the comp videos I've seen it sounds fairly similar to the V30 and it's made by Eminence. So, for $20 how wrong can I go?
Next up, my FIL and I are going to take all the measurements and start buying materials. There's a pretty cool woodworking store here called Rocklers (I think they're a national chain, but not positive) where we can get marine grade, void free Baltic Birch for the build.
Materials List:
Speaker - check
Marine grade, void free Baltic Birch
8 cab corners
4 cab feet
Speaker jack/plate
Wiring
Grill cloth
Tolex
I'll also need to grab a Palmer Cab Merger when the time comes in order to drive 2-8 ohm speaker cabs with my JCA22H. But, that's later on...
Would really love to get a little plastic logo badge to put on it too, one with my company logo. So, maybe if I can find someone with a 3d printer, or scour Etsy I might come across something like that.
I think I'll skip the piping on the grill since that seems to be an area rife with opportunity to screw it up.
Before we really dig in, anyone have advice, parts source recommendations or the like?
