Welcome to the site.
You can easily remove the baffle boards from the speaker cabs (the board that holds the speakers. You have to do it in this order to do it though. 1 remove back and remove input jack from back. 2 remove top and bottom board that the back screws onto it is about a 3/4 by 2" with 3 -4 screws in it. This allows you to get the baffle board out. 3 I leave the cab standing up and remove the nuts that go around the outside edge of the baffle board (7/16 socket) if I remember correctly.
Then some times these are stuck in there pretty good and you have to break them loose and I tend to use the palm of my had in an upper corner or edge (do not use the middle or you will damage the grill cover material). once it is loose you have to begin to slide it back evenly and once it just gets to the end of the studs begin to turn it so one side is going to go out first and you can remove the entire thing with the speakers on it.
Now is the time to remove the speakers and clean the grill cloth too. I use simple green ans a soft bristle scrub brush and my hose, some use a power washer or the car wash to rinse theirs. simple green the front of the grill cloth and scrub up and down and side to side and then rinse and let set in the sun and dry. They will look just like brand new.
At this point you can make new baffle boards and use any speaker configuration that you want, however, you have to be mindful of the ohm rating that you will be throwing at the head. If you get the right ohm rating speakers and wire them correctly you will be golden.
You will not find the rack for the head offered hardly ever, they go for big money when they are offered. If someone had a mandrel bender, they should make a few hundred of each and sell them.
The K200-5 head gives you a lot of options as it is a PA head and should have reverb you can use it for vocals, guitar or bass. It will be deadly LOUD and they take pedals very very well. If you have a multi effect pedal unit, you are going to love this thing.
good luck,
Bart
PS, Can't never did a thing!....lol!
