Ampeg Upgrades - Oinkus - 08-22-2015
Just ordered a set of Eminence Man O Wars for the VH 140C , called MF got 6% off so it was $159.78. Going to run just half of the power into the speakers too so it won't be so overpoweringly loud in Chuck Norris' little jam room. Good price for a pair of decent speakers , more info when we turn them up loudly. On my way right now to take back his Les Paul , Strat and the Godin Freeway I put Planet Waves tuners on , after a good cleaning and restringing. Got to love some freshly setup gear it is sooooooo nice !

Where the hell do you get the wires that go from the speaker (spade lugs) to the jack (1/4" right angle) ? Attempt to make some with a speaker cable maybe ? Standard wiring in amps is lousy in that specific area always ? Any idea are helpful guys

speaker wire?
you should be able to get some at any local audio store. home audio, car audio, pro audio, they'll all have speaker wire.
You should use 16 or 14 gauge.

I bought a speaker cable with right angle plugs and I am going to cut it to length and add the spade lugs to the 2 cables. I wanted to find something like this http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/monster-cable-performer-600-combo-amp-1-4-to-faston-speaker-cable?pfm=rv premade. I used to go to a website and they had many options at good prices, it no longer exists. The wire itself isn't the issue it is the connectors. Fender sells cheap ass ones for $6.99 just thin wire and crappy jacks.

The speakers are better then great and I bought that 18 gauge speaker cable and cut and soldered it. This is one fantastic sounding amp , best with the gain turned almost off and the volume up and it is still SS WTF is going on here ?
