Members peehoo Posted May 4, 2008 Members Share Posted May 4, 2008 I just got this thing. I like the sound on higher notes but also the sound of some lower power chords for occasional rumble madness and such. I'm worried if there is a danger of blowing my speakers as this thing gets pretty low? My amp is a Fender Prosonic with two 10" speakers. Thanks for the help, I would really hate blowing my speakers, they seem somehow hard to replace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rileykill Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 I've never had a problem ... I play a 4X10 Bassman combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CiceroTJones Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 Rule of thumb, you can blow speakers. A lot of folks think just because your amp's not up really loud that you can't... but you have to be especially careful adding extra bass to your signal in an unnatural way (Blue Box). I think you'll be find, but be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members peehoo Posted May 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hmm, yeah, now I really don't know... I would think that the Bassman would be a different matter... You can also play bass trough it so I guess it's speakers are designed to handle more low end, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members haze015 Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 if you find it's too much bass, turn it down on the amp, or use an EQ with the bass frequencies under 100Hz completely cut off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kyrreca Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 if you find it's too much bass, turn it down on the amp, or use an EQ with the bass frequencies under 100Hz completely cut off That kinda defeats the purpose, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members haze015 Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 That kinda defeats the purpose, though. not really, guitar speakers (not too clued up on bass amp speakers) generally have a cut off roughly around 75-90Hz anyway. i think it should be pointed out that it's not the frequencies themselves that'll do the damage (otherwise you couldn't use cheap speakers for listening to music etc), it's how loud they are and going beyond what the speaker is capable of.

Members rileykill Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 The Bassman speakers are just stock Jensens that are used in lots of Fender amps. They aren't more difficult to blow than your average guitar amp speaker. If you like the Blue Box you should play with it. Just be mindful of how your amp is responding. It shouldn't be too difficult to figure out how much bass your amp can handle comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
