***Wanted: Cheap, Lightweight Chassis and Box
Where can I get a cheap, lightweight box and chassis for a 12" speaker?

I don't want to build something, or do a lot of soldering. I just want to stick this vintage 12" Jensen I have in it, connect a head, and rock.

The lighter the better- I don't care if that means fiberboard or whatever. ***

A cake pan and a corrugated cardboard box will be about as light and cheap as it gets.

But seriously, you might want to look for objects at garage sales that are the same size and shape as an amplifier. May be a wooden laundry hamper or tool case, or some type of utility cabinet. An old Hi Fi speaker can be converted into a cab and the hole will already be cut for the speaker.

good luck
