My first thought was that Wicked Game was probably not the most appropriate choice of first dance at a wedding...

I recently saw an ad on You Tube for a new Yves St Laurent After Shave, it's called "Myself" the chosen music to go with the male model pouting & squinting was Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself" a song all about errr, .....Self Gratification!

I'll probably bang a piece of plywood on it at some point. I'm only using it with headphones or at bedroom volume for the time being so it's not gonna make any difference. What I might try is getting a pedal board for it and seeing if I can integrate it with my synth setup. It's all digital so the pedal boards use MIDI.

What?!!!

I have YouTube Music playing me random tracks and Every Breath You Take just popped up. I thought that I would search for people's reactions to the extreme stalker lyrics. I am gobsmacked... Apparently, it is a very popular song at weddings because it is so 'romantic'!

If you find 'Every Breath You Take,' a bit extreme, you might want to check out this band. Nice, easy going lyrics.

Make sure its 'open back,' have a look at the back of your amp model online and duplicate that. You need ventilation for the electronics on a combo amp, otherwise they'll overheat.

Probably more important with tubes amp which generate more heat than solid state and digital as far as I know, but its best to duplicate the original back for safety.

Only dedicated cabinet speakers are 'closed back.'

Looking at this one for sale on EBAY, the back cover looks like it only covers approx 2/3rds of the back, I suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to cut a piece of board to fit, you could even glue some vinyl on it to do a proper job
