Bigwan Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Handy, although it might be cleverer if it had speakons like a lot of bass amps these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm sure OBBM could knock you up something similar... I know he's done similar - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 A box just for putting them in serial like the OBBM one above makes more sense - to hook them up in parallel just use the built in thru-jacks on the cab, or multiple outputs on the amp. Unless of course neither your amp nor cab have these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I would imagine that Palmer box uses auxiliary contacts on the jacks sockets to provide some switching. It's probably OK for a low wattage guitar amp but I'm not sure I'd want to put 500-watts of bass through those contacts. Also you couldn't do the same with Speakons as they have no extra switching contacts. You'd need a heavy duty switch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not airtight though, which would be a pain on a cab back-plate but fine in an external box.
