Too much partying at the Cavern?? Does that place even exist anymore?

Keep us informed of your progress.

As someone who went SpeakON only many years ago I wonder at the negative thoughts they cause. Jack plugs when plugged in and out short circuit the speaker outs on the amp. These are very harmful the the health of the amplifier. SpeakONs have solved that problem. They also prevent the use of signal cables os speaker leads. Win - win in my book!

People are allowed to protect their intellectual property and this includes schematic diagrams. If there is something "special" within that diagram sending out copies willy nilly means that anyone can clone that piece of 'special" rendering it worthless.

Make sure that the amplifier sleeve doesn't block any ventilation holes in the amp's case. You don't want the amp to overheat in use.

I would contact Epifani and ask them for the schematic. If nothing else they could suggest a place to take the amp to for repair. In future take the amp home with you to prevent unauthorized use. Is the guilty player going to cough up for the repair?

And? LOL

That's a lofty ambition Phil!

Posts like the OP make me remember all the gigs I played in the UK with a 50W amplifier! How things change eh? LOL

I don't use regular bass amps, I use stereo power amps. That way I'm not restricted by some amp. designers short sightedness. LOL

I use Acme Sound B2 2x10 three way speaker cabinets. I own four and all are 4Ω impedance. Using a stereo power amp that is stable at 2Ω per channel, as most pro ones are, I can drive all four at once should I need to. As a statement of fact ALL of my amplifiers are happy driving into 2Ω loads. The difference between an amplifier designed for 4Ω loads and one for 2Ω loads is very little.

Not everyone has the freedom to visit here whenever he/she wishes. Add to that that good information is never wasted as someone may very well need the same questions answered as the OP.

For interest I looked up the Trace Elliot 1200. I was very disappointed to see that it is incapable of driving a 2Ω load. In my mind such a capability in a bass amp is almost a necessity!

In my mind it's better to have too many speaker cabinets rather than too few. If what you bring turns out to be not up to the job you can't really go back home for more.

'Cos two are always better than one! We learned that as kids!! LOL
