I need help finding a nice road case for this amp. Can anyone help me? I don't want to cut the walls a bit out of my av/cl roadcase.

Thanks!

These people make a nice case. http://www.audiopile.net/products/Ca...cutsheet.shtml

I'm not positive that the 14' will be deep enough. Anyone use a 70's SVT live and know of a good place to get a road case for it?

I had calzone do a case for my V4, give them the dimensions and they build it. I think turn around time was like 2 weeks and the cost was like $165ish IIRC.

Anyways, I have these companies bookmarked for future needs, so some of them may be of use:

and there are probably a ton of companies advertising on ebay if you search there. And FWIW, 14in is the depth of a 70s SVT, so that one above should fit.

Corey, does 14 include the parts that you use on the back to wrap the power cable that stick out a bit more than the head case itself?

14" is the depth on the specs I have. My SVT is currently in the shop, so I can't give you an exact answer. Either way, those parts should just push into the foam on the inside and not be a bother.

I'll have to check them out. I ordered the EWI case two days ago. I'll post pics of everything when it's all complete next week.
