I was looking at the Eminence website, and notice that the Eminence Beta 10cx, APT-50 tweeter and crossover seem to work-

There'll be no flaming here, this is a friendly place.

<> Thanks, I was being a little facetious on that comment<>

To help you we need to know a few things.
How much soldering experience do you have?

<>I've done some soldering, and I have some a "basic" knowledge of electronics- I can figure out a schematic-<>
How much money are you willing to spend?

<> The budget is open at the moment,but  I'd like to keep the entire project(amp, box, speakers) south of $500

Do you want to do this because you think it will cheaper? It won't be.

<> I want to do this because-well, my project after this will be a DIY Martin acoustic from a kit-

How old are you? Because I'm a little unwilling to to get a pre-teen or teen to fool with mains power?

<> I'm an old man of 49- twenty years of running US Navy nuclear reactors and some real-world power plant experience-with high-yard voltages of 345,000 Volts-

><Anyway, I've been on the AX84 site-I'm aware that tube electronics in an amp has its advantages, and there's posters with plenty of experience and they're willing to share-but what I'm looking for is a good, clean-sounding, reasonably priced "Acoustic" combo amp-it'll be either at home or church-I'd like to go with either a 2X10 or 2X12 cabinet with coaxial speakers, but I'm more than willing to listen to alternatives. I'm leaning away from tubes at the moment since my 8-year-old is taking lessons, he has a better ear and sense of rhythm than me and I'd like it to be his first amp-he wants a Turser "shark guitar" for his upcoming 9th b-day.<>

I'll gladly answer any questions you have to the best of my ability.

Velleman does have some kits that would be decent guitar amps but the lower power ones(like Joecool mentioned) won't get it done.

Just tell us what you want to accomplish and we'll try to help.

I'm trying to put together an acoustic combo amp-does anyone have any experience with anything from Vellaman?

Jim

First, thanks for the replies-

Now for the questions:

1) Is there a schematic for the LM3886/LM1875 with the X-over, preamp, etc.?

This is great-

As far as power goes, I'll be using the amp at home and church (...It was only driven by a little old acoustic to and from church...)-power isn't a priority, but I'd like clean sound-

I'm looking for a combo amp I can build for my acoustic-doesn't have to be spectacular, but I'd like to use a two-way (Woofer, Tweeter, and X-ver) speaker in the cab-I have some basic electronics knowledge, I can solder and I have access to woodworking equip, so I can build my own cabinet-Any suggestions?
