I prefer solder connections but there's nothing wrong with doing it this way. Every major manufacturer uses crimp connections for their speaker wiring but every installation is only as good as it's installer. Take your time and make sure each connection is solid and your wiring job will last forever.
Beware of the goons claiming to have magical and superior tonal improvements from using 14AWG or 12AWG wire size. If anything, the added weight of the wire can attribute to premature stress failure of the joints. Keep in mind the wire size on the speaker itself and even the output transformer and output jack wiring on the amplifier can be as small as 20AWG or 22AWG. I typically will use 16AWG when wiring speaker cabinets and that is more than enough. Most major manufacturers use 18AWG wire in their speaker cabinets and that's fine too.
BTW, these Scumback BM-75 speakers sound AMAZING. If you've been trying to chase that sound of a lot of 70's and 80's hard rock then these are for you. They sound great for modern music too but I've never had much luck getting passable old school sounds from modern speakers.

How To Phase Flip Unbalanced Signals: Pyle PHE400 Modification for Phase and Ground Lift Switch
มุมมอง 4945 หลายเดือนก่อน
I had a situation on tour where recalling an effect patch (all analog effects and signal path) was causing one amp in a Dual Mono setup to be out of phase with the other. This could also happen when using different amplifiers as each tube gain stage inverts the audio signal. If one amplifier has one more or less gain stage than the other, it is possible the two amplifiers will not be in phase a...
RARE '76 Marshall 4x15 1979B Restoration
มุมมอง 2.7K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
I found a beat up 4x15 up north so I travelled up there to rescue this rare beauty. Opening it up reveals some flood damage and the front baffle was toast. Since the front baffle needed to be replaced I went through everything and made sure the cabinet was structurally sound and ended up reconditioning the entire thing. It was a bummer to find out two of the speakers had been reconed with voice...
Genz Benz Diablo Troubleshooting and Repair
มุมมอง 1.3K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Doing a routine service and repair on this Genz Benz Diablo 100 amplifier. Fortunately, it was not too difficult to track down the cause for each issue and fix everything. In the video I briefly discuss the folly of the 100W/50W switch. Many amp manufacturers have used a version of this but this is basically the same switching method as used in the Peavey Ultra Plus. Output power is reduced by ...
BBE Sonic Stomp Troubleshooting and Repair
มุมมอง 77910 หลายเดือนก่อน
A quick repair video for those who like to see how the troubleshooting process works. Not all repairs are glorious and exciting. Sometimes they are very simple and boring to watch such as this one! To recap, the pedal wasn't working when the effect was bypassed. This being a true-bypass pedal means it must be wiring, jacks or the switch itself since there are no electrical passive or active com...
JMP-1 Service - 230V to 120V Conversion and Battery Upgrade
มุมมอง 1.9K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
I purchased an old JMP-1 unit from a seller in the U.S. who had at some point originally purchased this from Europe so it was setup to run on 230V. They even included the step-up transformer with the sale. The price was great and the conversion is a very simple process. I also remove the button cell battery from these amps and modify them to use two AA batteries that will be accessible without ...
Rivera Fifty Five Twelve Troubleshooting and Repair Service
มุมมอง 1.7K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
This amp came in with a couple ailments. Unwanted noise and a general "it doesn't sound right" are typical complaints but each repair is different. Sometime in this amp's life a tube had shorted and damaged one of the sockets. This needed to be replaced. The second issue was a bad power supply smoothing cap for the 18VDC active effects loop. It should be noted they used 100uF/20V caps in 18V pa...
Service Upgrades and a Detailed Look Inside an '84 Marshall JCM800 2203 Halfstack
มุมมอง 5Kปีที่แล้ว
A while back I acquired a very nice and clean 2203 halfstack from '84. This was a great year for the amps but not so much for the cabs as the G12M-70's have a pretty bad rap. This was a transitional year for both the cabinets and the heads. The 2203 amplifier would first see the DI jack installed on the rear panel during this year. In 1984 the vertical input models would also be discontinued in...
Liquid spilled into 5150 during show. Diagnosis and Repair Service
มุมมอง 2.6Kปีที่แล้ว
A quick and easy repair. A user spilled beer into this amp during a performance and it shut down. After testing the output tubes it appears two of them are fried. Simple enough, let's replace the bad tubes, make sure the bias is within acceptable range and send it home.
Ampeg Super Jet SJ-12T Service and Repair

This amp came in with an issue when using the tremolo. After replacing a few parts and changing out a bad output valve the amp sounds as it should. I found some helpful information on this site as well and would recommend checking into it if you need to work on one of these. abrammorphew.com/notes/2013/04/05/ampeg-super-jet-sj-12t-repair/
