Kieron Kie Marriott Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 After a while of trying to get a new rackmountable head, i just thought...f*** it...i'll stick with what i have! after closer inspection i noticed the extras screw holes on the side of my warwick sonic 2..and thought...wait...this is mountable if i get the appropriate ears? so...the question is....help on choosing the appropriate ears? xD Quote
icastle Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Not an easy answer to this one I'm afraid. However, the amp itself looks to be 2U high, so that's your first measurement. Now the fun bit starts. The easiest way to find appropriate ears is to measure the width of the amp and find something the same size that you can buy ears for (although you will almost certainly need to drill new holes to mount the amp to the ears). If you don't have any luck with that then measure the width of the amp in mm. Subtract that number from from 482. Divide that result by 2 and you'll get the front length of the ears you need. So that's height (2U) and front length. The depth can be anything you want within reason - obviously you want the depth to at least cover the side mounting holes on the amp. HTH Quote
Kieron Kie Marriott Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 cheers man! very helpfull, i was contemplating rack mount ears, or a rackmount shelf, and attaching via the bottom of the amp! Quote
icastle Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 A shelf is usually the easiest method if you're not a keen(ish) DIYer. I usually unscrew the rubber feet and drill holes through the shelf that line up with the screw holes. Stick the screws back in minus the feet and the jobs a goodun... Quote
Kieron Kie Marriott Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 haha, i just know what im like, ill end up getting the wrong size ears (even after measuring and re-measuring :L) or ill f*** something up, drill through something i shouldn't, along those lines!!! aha Quote
