Get a really powerful amp, a Class D around 800 watts will work but a SVT is a lot better. Turns it up to three-quarter volume, and play "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead over and over for about a half hour. That should break it in just fine for you :) Analogeezer

Yeah my original reply was incorrect, not sure why I said air flows into the side, the B2-R has the same venting at the bottom of the chassis. So the air gets pulled into the lower part and exhausted OUT of the far left (looking at the back of the amp). The B2-R chassis is slightly different...

This seems to be way overkill, it's not a 1969 SVT that has never been serviced. It's a 1980's Peavey so even though it will sound like @zz (as it did new), you could have parked this amp at Chernobyl, then taken it to Fukushima for a spell, run over it with a road grader and it would fire up...

Geez man, everybody knows "punch" is the cousin of "slam"! These are well defined and well understood terms LOL Analogeezer

You said the amp was a B2, that is a combo, available in different speaker configurations. If you mean B2-R (the two space rackmount one) the intake for air is on the side and the fan blows out the back. Analogeezer

Most people don't care that much about power, I bet if you asked 100 people at random how much HP their cars had maybe 7 of them would actually know the answer. A universal misconception is if you drive a car like it has an egg under the gas pedal in traffic, you get the best gas mileage...

Cars do this because for some reason people are very reluctant to ever floor the throttle or push it more than halfway down. Also, many newer cars with "drive by wire" throttles have "regular" and "sport" settings. The "Sport" setting often gives you more linear range of throttle throw...

While not listed as an available driver (they call it "Legacy") the Celestion TN0820 is a great 8" driver for bass; this is the driver RevSound uses in their 8" bass cabinet products. Celestion TN0820 - Pressed Chassis LF Neo Driver Not a cast frame though, pressed steel but cast frame 8" pro...

Yes in the 1970's and 1980's they made actual full audio speakers for home use. I have an old magazine with a picture of Rick Wakeman touting them. Kind of a "poor man's" B&W in that era (they were not cheap but a lot cheaper than B&W's). IIRC Celestion even made a series of studio monitors in...

You are in SoCal, so SURE there are a plethora of shops around to go to. Not sure where the OP lives but my closest shops are 65 miles away, in a large urban area of around 3 million people and there are now only two of them, and one totally sucks. Hell in SoCal I bet you can even still find...

Did you READ my post #12? DIRECT from the Acoustic Amplification website FAQ: Can I get replacement parts for my Acoustic amplifier? Replacement parts are not currently offered for our amplifiers. If service is out there, but they can't get parts then what exactly do they do? They charge the...

Probably not worth the trouble, here it is right from their own FAQ: Can I get replacement parts for my Acoustic amplifier? Replacement parts are not currently offered for our amplifiers. I'll ask you straight up, if your shop was a general shop and not restricted to repairing specific...

At the same time? So you had the internal speakers of the amp running and an external cabinet hooked up to it? What kind of cabinet was the second cabinet, do you know the impedance of that cabinet? I looked it up and the internal speaker load of your combo is eight ohms, but the amp is rated...

Didn't the amp come with the stock speaker cable? Yes using an instrument cable (shielded) could have caused the problem, if you try an actual speaker cable and it still does not work.....well you have a boat anchor. I say this because the GC Acoustic brand is circling the drain, even if you...

The amp in question is a Guitar Center Acoustic brand; in particular it's a 2 x 10" combo with a 600 watt Class D amp section. GC Acoustics have a five year warranty but I don't believe they have ANY kind of factory service program. The idea was if the amp failed you took it back to GC and they...
