offom Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I have an Aria Ab-25 and i feels buzzy when forcing the top strength strokes. I'm about to get a new speaker for it. Are car sound system based bass-subwoofer speakers suitable for such an application ? Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

In addition their efficiency is lower than most instrument speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 It sounds to me like you've outgrown your amp. It's really not cost effective to upgrade the speaker in an entry level practise amp, you'd be better off getting something a bit bigger. Might be worth looking at the 'for sale' threads on this forum - there's often some good stuff at low prices, like this[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=74648"]Ashdown[/url] or maybe this [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=73876"]Warwick[/url] A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I've bodged in a car stereo speaker into a dead practice amp, just so it would still make noise, its was for guitar and a door speaker, sort of worked, sounded dreadful (just like the amp did before I broke the old speaker). If you put a car sub speaker in, it will probably be muffled and quiet. If you have one and the speaker in the combo is a dud, no loss trying it, but fairly sure it won't be great. Just get a bigger amp. The Ashdown electric Blues seem to go for no money on local trade places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offom Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks for all. I asked a local shop today and he turned to me with a lot of strange-terms-inc.-question. Also asked my uncle who gets involved in such things. And you. Everybody said, I better go and get a big&new one. No time to lose with this Aria thing. I looked up to the advertisements you suggested. Nearly they cost 500 TL at there, by the way they want us to pay 1000 TL in Türkiye. Will find a cheaper way.

More bang for the buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
