ben_eat_pie Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) hi there, I'm looking to remove the head on my combo, rehouse it, then add tweeters in the big hole. If people could let me know the best way to go about it that'd be great. Also if people could recommend some good tweeters to put in the hole and how to mount/house them for the best sound. If it helps it's an ashdown mag 300/115 combo. Is it even worth doing?! lol... cheers guys, ben Edited July 11, 2008 by ben_eat_pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell it and buy something more like what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it helps it's an ashdown mag 300/115 combo. Is it even worth doing?! lol... cheers guys, ben[/quote] I did similar to the same combo. I made a dummy amp that had a front, back and sides that was the same size as the amp chassis from 18mm ply. In the back I fitted a connector plate with teed speakons. I also mounted a 1/4" socket on a bracket inside and wired the speakons to that. The flying lead from the speaker was plugged in to that. The whole thing was secured using four screws in the original mounting holes so nothing on the cab was hacked about. I'd have posted some piccies but I've sold it now! It would have been good to fit 2 or 3 piezo tweeters in the dummy front panel. Two or three of CPC's MPT-016 piezos wired in series with each other and a 10-20W 8-ohm resistor to guarantee a minimum load would probably add a bit of zing. These would be wired in parallel with the main driver but a switch would probably be a good addition in the piezo circuit. I've got 4 of those piezos in my BFM Omni10 but they're aligned vertically which is supposed to be a better layout for dispersion but without an additional box or hacking the MAG cab about would not be feasible. You could put the feet on the side and use the cab "horizontally". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escholl Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 maplin sells stuff similar to CPC's MPT-016, and eminence does a really good tweeter, but you'd need a crossover for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
