The crossbars or supports are where the reverb tank hung below them by four bolts. Unit hangs on the right end of the amp chassis.

The speaker cabinet probably had originally since it was just one speaker, an 8 ohm speaker. I don't remember ever hearing of Kustom using a single 4 ohm speaker in any of there equipment but I could be wrong. Pleat will be the one to tell you for sure what was originally in there.

If you decide to rebuild your cabinet, you might want to consider going with 2-12's or even better yet 4-10's or 4-12's wired in series parallel. Any combination of 8 ohm speakers will get you to the total 4 ohms load that Kustom designed there amps to run best at. The more speakers you have the more air movement you get and more distribution of sound. I personally think the sound quality out of a speaker smaller than a 15 inch is better but have no documentation to prove it.......just my ears.
