I'll take it!

Anybody use an orange obc 112 for the extension?

I think the trick with 2 rumble 500s or 800s is to use an SVT 810 cabinet and plug one into the jack for the top 4 speakers and one into the bottom. With the 800s, 1600w into 12 10s

Got the SVT hooked up to test today. Of course keeping it low to not fry the old CTS speakers. My god the clarity. Its like someone switched a cheap focusrite computer interface with a studer 2 inch analog, or that's the best analogy I can think of

Thanks, I'll leave it stock. We don't get that loud in the studio. 400 W would be 40 v @ 10A with a 4 ohm cabinet with 5A going to each speaker. The wiring appears to be about 16 gauge, good for 15A, so I'll leave it. I'll stash away the CTS speakers for vintage sake. Thanks for all the help folks

Thanks for the reply, the question I'm asking though is if the stock 4/16 ohm impedance switch can handle the extra power for a SVT. Or should I tear it out and rewire the cabinet from scratch?

Question for b25b owners: Do I need to replace or remove the impedance switch in the cabinet for the extra power?

That's the way I'm going

I just read the SVT with attenuator thread and I'm afraid of opening a çan 'o worms. For the dummy load I would just use 4 100w 8 ohm resistors wired like an eight ohm cabinet mounted in a main service electrical panel. That would be 400w for the cabinet and 400w for the dummy load for a total...

Thanks for the replies folks. Some options to consider. Another thing I was considering as the SVT will just be a studio amp and I'm an awful kludge was buying this used eden 410 8 ohm cabinet 400w $150 and putting an 8 ohm load box in parallel with it. I'd lose 3db but who cares. I've had...

This is a great site. I think I found my answer, no. Anybody have other inexpensive options?

Hi, first post, I recently decided to give my chiropractor a raise so I purchased a SVT II pro. I have a B25b cabinet that I inherited for a bad debt years ago. It works fine but I don't think the original CTS speakers are adequate. The ampeg b115e replacement speakers are pretty cheap and that...
