Preserving a 4x12

Post by Olderama »

So I have a 4x12 that is redundant
And with the current market not really worth selling as its not a 2x12 lol
Looking at chucking it in the damp garage for a while and looking st the best way to wrap it up and keep from the damp ect
What do you think to shrink wrap ? Would that keep the moisture out

Or just tarp it

Usually in a pot, low to medium heat. Add a cup of auger, water and a little pectin. Lovely preserve .

Or cut off the 10 then it just becomes a 4x2 and a bit of varnish will sort it.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

take 2 speakers out and use it as a big 2x12...sell the 2 speakers, probably get about the same money and still have the cab
If Less is More Then Just Think How Much More More would be

tarp can become a collection point for moisture... my number 1 tip would be get it way off the ground and open to airflow

Put it in the kids' room. Not like they're in a position to complain. Tell them it's a play house.

Everything you suggested would keep the moisture in. Just move it to the garage but keep it out of a corner and preferably somewhere in a draft like by the door perhaps.

Get some of those silicone packages and replace every couple months? Might help a little bit.
