Mods to Ashdown Studio 15.

Further to my previous thread about putting a much better speaker (Eminence DeltaLite 8 ohms) in my Studio 15, and the amazing improvement it made, I've just wired in an extension speaker socket mounted on the chassis. Plugged an 8 ohm extension cab in and boom! There it is... grunt to Africa. Still light and portable for club gigs and with the extra cab great for outdoor or big gigs. I also glued a couple of rubber bumpers to the chassis each side of the on/off switch to protect it as it protrudes. I can see it being damaged easily if someone laid it down on its back.

The Ashdown branded speaker that it came with is labelled 4 ohms and 150 watts. Strange considering it's supposedly 300w at 4ohms.  It now runs an 8 ohm speaker and is much louder and fatter than the Ashdown labelled speaker. By my reckoning 8ohm + 8ohms in parallel = 4 ohms, the same impedance as the original speaker.

My mag250 15" cab had a similar sized speaker in.
