i made a wood frame the same size as the original grill cover , then i put a thin metal type plate over the wood , then i glued the tye- dyed fabric to it. i have the metal behind the cloth , so the speakers wont get damaged , if something ever bumps into the front. i also have the original cover if i ever wanted to put it back on, . also if you did not notice , the amp cabnit is made out of solid white oak , stained dark ebony , that i made, no tolex on this cabnit
