What a great forum this is! Thanks Phil! And Bill!

https://cpc.farnell.com/unbranded/sp-167e/speaker-6-5-4ohm/dp/LS01252?st=6.5 driver Data sheets for all the drivers... yay!!

I read a lot on here. Some of it sticks, most phrases just sound familiar and when someone says them to me I look like a dog looking at its own reflection in a mirror. So - at this most pathetic end of the spectrum (15watts in to a 6.5” driver, as cheaply as possible), do I go for higher sensitivity (92dB) or longer Xmax? Only I found a driver on CPC for under 15 squid, but the Xmax is only 2.5mm.

Oh, I’m definitely doing mine now!

Covered!

I spelt it wrong, too 🤡. Sonor.

Thanks for the input, chaps. I’ll have a think about what to do and let you know if I end up tinkering. I know the sensible thing to do, but sensible is often not as fun!!

Hello chaps, Not a bass per se, but renders the band useless so thought it might be worth a mention here. My drummer left his kit in his Transit, which was stolen this week. Sonor 3005 series kit, all hardware, loads of Sabian cymbals. Obvs shouldn’t have left it in the van (!) but if you are in this neck of the woods and someone offers you a nice kit for cheap, please let me know!!! He’ll be checking Crack Converters etc.

Connected the amp to my BF Two10 - much better 😂😂😂

I did. Would be fairly straightforward to fashion a new baffle looking at it. Was just thinking initially of doing the easiest thing possible to start with! I’m not expecting miracles, just an improved low frequency. Measurements are 12cm x 30cm x 23.3cm, and there are ports (dammit) 2 x 4cm. Going to hook the amp up to something else to see what it sounds like....

Starr by name, Starr by nature!

But Matt, that would be the easy sensible option - it’s just not me 😂

I know it’s a cheapo, but even so, the sound is just brittle. Hifi speakers manage more bass. Pretty sure I’ve seen someone else do something similar.

Nice! Please do a NBD post when it arrives 👍🏻

Calm down, calm down - not done anything silly... yet. I have a gig rig which is great, but every now and again (not so much these past few months) I go round my mates house for a quiet jam to work new songs out, and the gig rig is OTT. I bought this tiny little guitar combo so my daughter could have it in her room with the Hohner Pianet, but that fad has passed, so I’m wondering - could I put a bass driver in this poxy amp to have a little ‘house jam’ combo? The unit is sealed, and I’d like it to stay that way, so does that make driver selection easier? Looks to be about 6.5”. I’ll get the internal volume later. Thoughts?

I like that. They should call it the Moob Pincher.

Nice. And then I saw this pic... oh me oh my!!!

I like the way they’ve put it upside down - that’ll keep the copyright lawyers at bay!

I like to think this was your muse 😂

Could just be the lighting, but also looks like the body has been sanded quite unevenly. Wasn’t the three bolt neck a 70’s thing? I agree the decal looks a bit wonky. What if someone’s just done a poor job of refinishing though?! Worth a look if you’re local?

Wash your mouth out young man!
