    Can 15w tube (guitar amp) drive 350w speaker?

    thanks guys. lots of really good points - and the observation regarding just plugging into a proper bass cab is totally worth trying (why didn't I think of that?!?) . As per advice, I will probably re-direct focus onto a better 10" "guitar" speaker then, to likely more success...

    cheers and happy new year all!

    hi guys

    I am contemplating modifying my old Laney LC15 watt tube combo with a new speaker. I don't fully understand amps / speakers so would appreciate some input from those who do! Sorry if I'm being a n00b :)

    As the combo actually sounded very nice with fretless bass at low volumes, which got me thinking of its "studio" recording potential... so here goes.... would it be possible to replace existing "guitar" speaker with a higher rated, more "bass-appropriate" one? i.e.

    The existing 10" speaker (HH Invader) is 8ohms (and probably rated somewhere up to 60 watts..... but I can't find exact specs)

    potentially replaced with

    Eminence Delta10a, or similar, also at 8ohm but rated at 350 watts


    Would this work and sound OK? the 15w was actually very loud, when pushed, into the old speaker - would I get the same level of volume with the replacement speaker?

    Would appreciate any pointers or suggestions for simple reading on the subject....

    cheers

    Finished! And now for something completely different ...

    For some reason (i guess the awesome body shape and associated excesses!), this build made me think of the 80's Washburn EC29 and EC36 neck-carve:

    not sure you'd want to attempt, but just to throw it out there as an idea :)
