Trace 715 ext cab?

[mattyfunk13]

Hello all TE pro's,

Is there any way of adding an extension cab to a Trace 715 combo? (not the 715x)

There is no separate speaker output and I believe it is also 4 ohm.

The negatives are stacking up but is there a way it can be done?

Thanks Peeps

If it is 4 Ohm already you would have to change the speaker to an 8 Ohm one and then wire an output socket in parallel with it.

Not hugely difficult but I can't see the speaker being that cheap.

An alternative would be to get a power amp to power the extension cab and take an output from the D.I out (if it has one)

Thanks Tinman,

I will look into the speaker option, sounds like a plan

Thanks again

An alternative could be to wire a switched jack into the speaker cable. This could be wired to either switch the internal speaker out of the circuit when an extension is plugged in giving a different tone and the possibility of more volume if your extension is more efficient. Alternatively the socket could be wired so that any speaker would be connected in series with the internal one; this would allow you to use a 4ohm extension along with your existing speaker.
