    New Ampeg Venture Series

    they did to me .. as I was NOT told it had this before my purchase ... so I was sent a new Connector Free that I put on my cable ... Ampeg on the phone told me that it was a better connection ... but the other end of My Cable still has NL4 ... so not sure what benefit I have !!!

    Acoustic Image Doubleshot Cabinet .... blown speaker - try different speakers or buy new replacement !!!

    a couple ways. the TC BQ500 i had did not have the issue of Buzzing like a blown speaker. but i did not like the sound of or lack of tone. the Ampeg V3 made this happen repeatedly. I spoke with mark a gollihur music and he had mentioned potentially the 300watts of the V3 might not be enough...

    thanks for the new price of the DoubleShot. that helps. and the V3 is cool but it really does feel underpowered a little. the V7 should be about 450watts at 8ohms. and the full 700watts at 4ohms. i am still amazed the DoubleShot is rated at 600watts. but i also feel the higher headroom of...

    the Ten2 Can sounds interesting !!! i will have to look that one up. so, my latest idea is to keep the beast, replace the bad speaker and ONLY use it on quieter gigs. and buy myself a good 1x15 cabinet for any other gigs. since the head I will be using the Ampeg Venture V7 has 700watts...

    yes for sure !!! what an interesting experience it has been using this, even for just a few gigs. maybe some over excursion protection for the next iteration .. hoping someone runs with that idea and keeps this cabinet alive !!!
