    The lowly power strip

    Hi all, I respectfully suggest that as long as you're buying a surge protector/extension cord you might want to consider this. It's ALSO an effective power conditioner. Before using this, my class D Rumble 100 would sound HORRIBLE in some venues. After research....it turns out that our prized...

    Double Bass Traynor SB112

    I know this is an old thread....but I just ran across the Traynor SB112 on line and like the size and weight for use with electric in Big Band situations. I'm hoping it might sound BETTER than my Rumble 100 with upgraded Neo. I also have an R200 which sounds great ( to my ears) but "looks" too...

    Fender Rumble V3 100 speaker up-grade ?

    Thanks, Regis! I found THESE on line. Do you think 2 of these, cut to 15 cm will work? Do the original tubes come out easily? You glued these in? Any special glue? Thanks! Speaker Port Tube Subwoofer Bass Tube Vent Port 3'' - Walmart.com

    Fender Rumble V3 100 speaker up-grade ?

    WOW.......Thank You for the above. I've been away.....but have now seen this post from last October. Great video! Could you or someone else please tell me where you get the port tubing and how it is installed? I put in the Eminence BASSLITE S2012 Neo back in 2018...but didn't touch the tubes. I...

    You don't need more volume....just clarity and fullness....and for at home use.? If you WANT the R800, you should get it....... FYI: I'm playing with kickin' Big Bands in South FL ...and my Rumble 100 with an upgraded Eminence 150 watt NEO 12" speaker does a GREAT job. The replacement is...

    Thanks CraigL, "Lengthen the ports"? Can you describe how this could be done? Inside the cabinet? Thanks!!!

    FYI: There's a knowledgeable person on this thread called Astrosonic who has commented on what the ports SHOULD be. Check him out on this thread.

    Fender Rumble V3 100 speaker up-grade ?

    Hi Regis, Your English is Perfect! Congratulations on your purchase and brave modification. I put the Eminence S2012 in my R100 and originally added acoustical dampening. The cabinet sounded dead to me so I took out all of the material except for the bottom. Another poster on this thread...

    My 2 cents....I compared ALL the Rumbles at a Music Store and was surprised how decent the Rumble 25 sounded. Deep and clear! I picked one up used/like new for $65 and it's PERFECT at our northern Lakehouse for bedroom use. At home in Florida I own the Rumble 100 and 200 for gigging. For just...

    Is your question, would this be a power conditioner? I'm pretty sure NO. This is a really good power strip/surge protector. I did a lot of research to find the lowest price, quality power conditioner our there......and the best I found was the Furman 2+6 Series Power Conditioner....currently...

    Fender Rumble Club

    I don't know for SURE....but I did see a review for the $30 Furman item that says....even though it's called a power conditioner by Amazon, they verified from Furman that it is NOT. More research is needed. It's pricier, but the $71 Furman 2+6 Power Station Series Line Conditioner I KNOW does...

    I was wrong on the price....I keep it in my gig bag and it doubles as an extension cord/surge protector/power strip....... [This invalid link has been removed] Station/dp/B0009GH13Y/ref=sr_1_16...

    Possibly an easy fix. These digital amps need a consistent power source. Otherwise the sound becomes weak/anemic. I experienced it.....but after buying and using a power conditioner everything is PERFECT. I bought an inexpensive Furman unit that looks like a surge protector / power...
