Yes, a LOT of masking! The insides cannot be lined.

I think you may be a little on the high side with that estimate. It's probably closer to 15 lbs.

I used the thicker, textured type. The goal here is to have a Leslie that lasts forever, and looks almost new even after several years of use. One of the advantages of the textured type is that they have a "rejuvenation kit" that can be applied to scuffed areas to return their shine and texture. I haven't used one yet, but the guy at the Rhino place says it's terrific.

It doesn't seem to have had much effect on my lowboy. I don't have an identical, wood Leslie to compare, but I swapped all of the components from my 251 to my lowboy in an afternoon. The tonal differences had much more to do with the smaller cabinet (less deep bass, more mid-bass) than anything else, IMHO.

Everyone using a Roadbox has a Rhino-covered speaker.
