Soaking up the info guys, thanks heaps.

Putting together an idea atm, got a few various PSU's from computers laying about.

If I took 3 or 4 200w PSU's, put them parallel into one of these am I asking for a house fire?

No but you might take down the whole electric grid. Confused

Why not do it the correct way???

You can't be that broke.

Prone to Overly Verbosing? Presently On Valium? Pre-occupied with Odd Ventures? (that would be me)

What does POV mean? I googled it but all I got was Point-Of-View

ROFL.

POV = Poverty

Many options are still being explored.

Thanks for all the ideas, and a place to sound off ideas.

I will post examples when I can.

Okay, after much searching and probably more speant on fuel than saved on hardware. I got some 100A battery clips, 100A automotive cable and some beefy speaker cable. Going to borrow a battery off my neighbor and possibly get this cranking tonight.

I'm excited.

Well, after some actual looking and not just imagining.
The original amp we use is a Fender Keyboard amp. Not a Roland. It's still working although the limiter in it keeps kicking in and being a pane.

Anyways, hooked the sub up today. Was a fun bit of soldering getting clips and wires all ready. Ended up using the battery from my car. That was extra fun when I lost the nut used on the retaining strap... Anyways... Found a new one, all good in the end.

I recorded a bunch of tests. All of it was done next to the drum kit so there is some ringing and snare rattle... Annoying.

Sub is just that, just the sub.

Amp is the Fender with a tiny amount of the sub.

I only did 30 mins testing, and most of it sounds good. Will do more soon. Both amps at the same time really gives some meat and low end to the room.
Dunno if I prefer single tracking the bass with both amps, have to find a sweet spot with no phase issues.

Recorded with an SM57 btw.
Playing credit to Bean Cassidy. Technical Shoutout to Pete Elwood.
Car started afterwards too.

Thoughts?
