anyone know where to buy it cheap? I found a site that sells an 8'x4' piece for 100+ dollars but the shipping would be even more brutal. Lhihi:

I built a 2x12 recently and used front grill mesh from a car parts store. Not super sturdy, but it'll do for the time being.

well I ordered from the site vesper gave me (thanx dude :tu: ) one 2x2 piece, shipping will be only 6 dollars and the piece I ordered will be 25 dollars and change.

You see my boogie needs a facelift and I want it to be different than other boogies so I am going to do the grate thing...pics will surely follow when the time comes :)

btw I could not get it in black so I will paint it

well the grate came, as you can see in the pic below the boogie needs a facelift and in fact the grill isn't even the proper one on it (which did not matter to me because inside it's flawless and that's all that matters). So I am going to paint the metal grate black and rip into the front of the boogie.

The pic of the metal shows it with a six inch machinist scale, I have enough for more than one amp and once the jet city is past the warranty it will get the same thing.

Why? Two words, Yellow Jackets. I want to be able to access the tubes via the front of the amp, the grate will be held on with wing nuts so I can remove the plate with ease to swap out the tubes..besides it looks cool. :hihi:

edit: My Jet City will get the same thing when the warranty expires (I still have plenty of grate left)
