8X10 into a Corsa

[waynepunkdude]

Possible?

I have bought a Marshall 8X10 and need to pick it up my car is a Corsa C is there a way of getting it in the car?

[LukeFRC]

on the roof. lots of rope...?

[woodyratm]

back seats flat and passenger seat right forward (with the tilt forward too)

Would probs just fit!

[winterfire666]

if its 3 door, not sure but ive had one in the back of a 5 door before with the boot tied with a bit of rope, it was ages ago, ithink i had to severly adjust the passenger seat too.

[waynepunkdude]

It's a 5 door, cheers.

Ive had an Ampeg 8x10 in a Polo (Mk4 I think).

Boot was tied shut. It was fine...and that was including the packaging.

Oh Wayne, you are a one!

[Ghost_Bass]

It's safer to get the cab dimensions from the maker's site and build a cardboard full scale replica to see if you can fit it in your car so you don't get an unespected surprise when picking it up.

[waynepunkdude]

Where's the fun in that?

[Ghost_Bass]

Oh, btw, taking on Pauls question, if the cab has weels you should realy be wondering if the corsa fits inside the cab intead!

[Pentode]

If the cab has wheels on it and you have a towbar........

[shizznit]

I can just about fit an 810 into my VW Golf without moving the driver and passenger seats forward, but it's very tight. That car has a lot of capacity for a hatchback. I think you might get caught out with a Corsa...even the new model which is like a hurse compared to the MK1.

I had an Ampeg 810E and used to get it into my Mk III Fiesta 3 door.

Bit of a squeeze but once you work the knack, becomes surprisingly easy. Pushed the passenger seat forward a bit.

Pentode got it. Although, a Corsa with a towbar? Unlikely methinks...

then you need a chuaffeur and some ski goggles

[bassmachine2112]

[u]Go get a Saab[/u] plenty of room , good on diesel and you can run over an elk without damaging the car.
OR- saw and convert it to two 4x10 cabs very quickly.

[JTUK]

You might just about do it once by roping down the door...but is this going to work on a regular basis.. or does it need to..?
I have issues getting the right 112 in my boot...so you don't want a real faff getting this in and out..

The plus is that the Marshall tends to be flatter..??? but then they make need to make up the lenght..???

Measuring stick and trial run before you buy, IMO.. oppps..!!

just a note when i did it, it was an older 'r' reg model not a newer shape

[MarkG3]

I would of thought putting the back seats down and the passenger seat all the way forward then the cab probably would fit in on a diagonal?

[paul_5]

Maybe Something like this?

Just a thought.

[waynepunkdude]

I'm going to play for the win and take plenty of rope.
