help with ashdown please

[dabootsy]

Hi all i have a evoii 500 1 x 15 combo and a 4x 10 cab
I want to use the amp part of the combo to power the 4 x 10 cab
so i want to turn the amp into a seperate head but i need a sleeve to put it in
The size is different to that of a normal ashdown head so a larger sleeve would be needed
does anyone know where i can get one from
I will still use the 1 x 15 for larger gigs
Hope this makes sense

any ideas would be appreciated

cheers

Try Ashdown, I did but for some reason they never answer my emails and I haven't got round to 'phoning them yet. Tell them your Matt from brum, he has no trouble getting replies

Let us know though mate, I might doing something simlar with me 2x10 combo...

Sell the combo and buy a head - it will probably work out cheaper in the long run and a lot less f***ing about.

I recently did the same with a MAG 300 C115. Wanted a spare head so I made a sleeve from 4 bits of 18mm ply, rounded off the edges and put feet and cab corners on it (and lined with alumimium screening like the original). Drilled mounting holes where the combo had them and painted it black. Looks fine.

Wasn't too much trouble but them I'm comfortable with woodwork.

With the remaining combo I made a dummy "amp" insert that slotted in and fixed using the original fixing holes and fitted the dummy with some speakons so it could be used as a cab without looking too daft. I sold that to some one here. Seemed to make economic sense given I wanted a backup head of a similar spec to the MAG and I think that worked out better than selling the combo then buying a similar head.
