I've bodged in a car stereo speaker into a dead practice amp, just so it would still make noise, its was for guitar and a door speaker, sort of worked, sounded dreadful (just like the amp did before I broke the old speaker). If you put a car sub speaker in, it will probably be muffled and quiet. If you have one and the speaker in the combo is a dud, no loss trying it, but fairly sure it won't be great. Just get a bigger amp. The Ashdown electric Blues seem to go for no money on local trade places.

Swap out your amp for a lightweight power amp. Simplest way. Thomann have some fairly cheap ones. I think a lightweight poweramp and a Sansamp (if you like that sound) is the simplest light rig you can get.

[quote name='essexbasscat' post='720881' date='Jan 22 2010, 10:01 AM']Would the pedal be able to take the wattage delivered by the output of the amp ? sounds like the pedal was designed to handle the very much smaller signal that is emitted by a guitar. Just a thought T[/quote] Even if it could, you'd upset your amp very much. The pedals probably going to present a significant impedance to the amp, due to the pots, and the fact it will be heating up and possibly melting in places, so you won't even get your 250w. Get another cab or rewire it to have two inputs, one for each speaker (probably dodge on a Schroeder if it has the one low-passed by by facing a wall speaker).

[quote name='ViVi' post='719790' date='Jan 21 2010, 08:38 AM']What about the vent placement. Does it have to be on on the front/rear side? Is it possible to place it on the side wall of the box? Is there any other problem than to be carefull with potentiall blocking of the vent on the sidewall. What about two wents on each sidewall?[/quote] In theory, anywhere is good, but got to give some practical thought to it, and put them somewhere that you won't see the back of the cone, because you lose mids that way or something. Also, try and go for somewhere that won't weaken the panel they are going into.

[quote name='joegarcia' post='719749' date='Jan 21 2010, 03:54 AM']Personally I'd get more amps and cabs and use them all at once. Whatever works for you though.[/quote]

[quote name='Shockwave' post='373382' date='Jan 7 2009, 07:05 PM']Trust me, the two basses i bought i have wanted for a long time. Now all i need is a jazz bass and i have one very very well rounded out collection of basses one Humbucker, one P-J, One P-Humbucker, one Single coil p. Now all i need is a jazz and i am complete![/quote] Hahahaha.

If you can vent it, 160l is plenty to be working with, the Kappalite should be pretty happy in it. You will have to subtract the volume of the port tube or whatever from that volume though. Best plan is to download WinISD, add in the data for the kappalite from [url="http://lowdownlowdown.com/greenboy/DL/WinISD"]here[/url] and figure your tuning.

Is there a spreadsheet or a way of extracting all the T/S characteristic from WinISD into a spreadsheet, so you can sort by the characteristics you are looking for? Cause once you know stuff like Bill says, you still have to look at every driver to spot them.

If you want a Matamp 1x15, phone them up and ask.

Swap the 12ax7 for a 12au7 or at7, whatever an ECC81 equivalent is, or an ecc81.

[quote name='0175westwood29' post='718482' date='Jan 19 2010, 09:54 PM']well as far as cabs go im gonna stick with my 610 hlf, i really like it![/quote] What impedance is the 6x10? Had dubious feelings with the 6x12s nominal 6 ohm, that is actually 5.3.

There are a bunch of other fuses inside, see what is gone, could be a short somewhere, in mine the speaker leads inside the speaker touched and blew the amp.

[quote name='skelf' post='717217' date='Jan 18 2010, 09:54 PM']Not sure that is the case with the TI flats. Tried to string a B string on a 34" scale and the wrap started on the wrong side of the nut had to top load it to fit.[/quote] Wrap issues can be fixed, like so many things, with blades and fire. Its the string going skinny that is the trouble.

Pretty sweet lead dress in this one:

The dude that runs Electric Ladyland in Bristol seems to be totally uninterested in getting your money. Don't think he fibs, but he might just not want to sell you stuff when he could be telling you the stuff you want is overrated rubbish and he has 50 of them out back instead.

[quote name='stevie' post='716571' date='Jan 18 2010, 01:41 PM']There was an amp guts thread a couple of months ago that was fascinating, but it was poo-pooed and fizzled out. Unfortunately, I can't help because my amps are in a rack thingie. Otherwise I would contribute with some internal pics of amps that use - wait for it - integrated circuits! [/quote] I did have a look for it. Got impatient. Ain't photoed my SS amps cause if they are dead, I can't do much to fix them, so they don't come apart much.

[quote name='stevie' post='716500' date='Jan 18 2010, 12:40 PM']Don't know what it is, but it reminds me why nobody but musicians and audiophools can get excited about 1930s technology. [/quote] People get so excited about obsolete tech that they make up new [url="http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/steampunk/"]obsolete tech[/url]. People need to post their amp guts here too. Otherwise I'll run out and have to go buy more amps.
