Has anybody here built their own guitar amp? (this would be for home/backyard use and would never be used at concert levels)
I was thinking making one as a summer project for the girlfriend who plays electric. Something along the lines of four 7" or 8" RS woofers in a ported box with a lowpass filter.
I'm considering a Behringer V-AMP PRO (http://behringer.com/LX1-PRO/index.cfm?lang=eng) as the frontend. I will also need some sort of power amp. Any suggestions on how much power these would be happy with? Would a sub plate amp do the trick as I'm not going way up in the frequency range?
For ~$500 This seems like it would be a pretty "kickass" guitar amp for her to have fun with, but am I going way too far out here? Should I stay away from the RS drivers and go with some that are cheaper and need less power, or go pro?
Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.
