Hi all
I was looking to upgrade my amp soon and was hoping to go for a head and cab rather than a combo. My existing amp is a perfect ten 30w combo. Would it be possible to convert this into a cab? Reason being, it may be a while before before i can afford to buy a bigger cab but i would like to upgrade my amp as soon as possible.
With the combo being a 30w does this mean i can not overload the 10" speaker with say a 100w head?
Sorry for the daft questions. In my mind it seems like it would be straightforward (ie just adding a jack (via wires) to the speaker and removing the amp wires) The cab won't be used for gigging only practise.
I would like to keep the amp part of the combo installed in case i wish to sell it in the future. Any help is appreciated.
Cheers.

Yes this will work fine, provided the speaker impedance matches the requirements of your new amp.

As you note you'll need to be a bit careful if the new amp is a lot more powerful than the amp in the combo or you'll blow the speaker.
