Re: Favourite speakers and cabs for Trainwreck amps.

Has anyone worked out the dimension of the Ampeg V4 cab? There are plenty of Marshall cabs around, but I can't say I've seen a Ampeg V4 cab. The other cab that comes to mind is K O'Connor's detuned cab. Has anyone tried these? I just measured one of my V4's they are 14"x27"x30" and the speakers fro...

I couldn't believe how much the pigtail tailpiece improved the tone on my lp custom, the price is crazy though. Phil

Re: What speakers to use with Hiwatt DR103 clone?

I put a combo of two Fane Medusa 150's and two Fane AXA 12's in my Hiwatt cab, they really sound good with my DR 504. I've got some pretty cool cabinets with Celestion's in them and I think the Fanes sound better with the Hiwatt. I'm still looking for another Hiwatt cab. Phil

Re: Trainwreck.com change

Cool amp! I am really digging the way you fit the speakers in with a combination of front and rear loading, great idea! Phil
