SNAFU (i got myself into)- NOW puzzled about this

okay here's the deal

I had an EQ215ix that was for sale a few weeks ago- along with a 215 plexi & hardware
Bri (fellow member here on forum)- bought the eq and plexi
WELL unbeknownst to me (as i had never put the plexi on the EQ) and simply ASSUMING that the 215 plexi would fit the 215 EQ I sold it as a pair/set

Well, guess what??!?!? it doesnt fit...
See pic's- AND now i am curious as to whether or not anyone knows what he dealio is behind this not lining up with the screw holes- It is my understanding that the plexi was/is OEM- BUT could there be the possibility that some EQ215's were different size(s)....? I would have to say no to that "off the cuff" b/c i have swapped covers before and never had an issue- sold just metal covers/bases and never had trouble

WTH - WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS- ???
obviously i will have to work this out with bri to his satisfaction- BUT i just cant wrap my head around it.

Pls thx
matt

I think that plexi is for a 215, not a 215ix.

The ix is newer and uses the plastic mounting feet. The top edges are curved, which probably required moving the screw holes in closer. The older 215 is a more basic squared off cover.

215's are crazy when it comes to cases/boards/switches/plexis- nightmare- I am ending up making mine for my 215's- I have a couple of 30's and they seem to be a lot less variables in that line

I wish so much that AAMP would get this shti going again and start making eq's to match finishes of there stuff. I would also love to see some more line drivers, bass cubes, wiring....etc. those old peices are so sexy

I was just going to mimic the font style on them 232 215, I have one with the swooshy pg logo on it- waiting for them to arrive, then will have my machinist dude write the code for it

have you considered etching the plexi with the logo rather then cutting it? It would be alot easier to do and still look nice. I know we all want the OEM look but....

I agree. I think etching would actually look even better than the cut out.

Any shop that works in Plexi should be able to lazer cut that!!!!
