Saw Cheap Trick a few times, and Rick and Tom (and Pete and Jon) would put lights in empty cabs. Looked quite cool, too.

Just make a giant Hooka or Bong out of it, then you can have your fog machine and blow smoke rings at the same time.

Hmmmmm....You could always put flash pots there. Just don't be in front of the cab when they go off....oh, and you might want the first 2 or 3 rows in front of the cab to sign a waiver of liability...

My band projects video onto ourselves and the entire stage. And I don't have an ampeg 810, but I've thought about doing my rig up as a TARDIS, complete with flashing blue light on top.

Whatever you are going to do, I would move the top speakers down to the bottom and use the top holes. IMO the bottom ones will be harder to see. I like the idea of lights. I bet you could get a couple of small LED cans that would fit those holes nicely. Get the ones that change patterns to the beat of the music!

How many ohms is a hamster? Can you mismatch hamster sizes or will there be phasing issues?

You can get Chinese LED par 64's that are programmable for strobe and sound for about $50 each on the bay. I have 4 in my lighting rig and they work fine. Also like the idea of fog, but those machines get really hot, so maybe set it up outside the cab.

Definitely will have phasing issues with mismatched hamsters. Your going to want to make sure all hamsters are of the same size and impedance. MOVE HAMSTERS CLOSER TO TOP OF CAB SO IT WILL BE EASIER TO HEAR WHEN ONE BLOWS!

Swap around the speakers so matching ones are in each section. and put the toppiest sorts in the top section.
