I've been lurking around in this forum for quite sometime. I find that, comparing to other forums, a sense of family is there. I've find that very interesting. That's why i'm interested in joining here. Sounds corny, but that's the truth.

I am planning to build a bass guitar amp and i find that there is a dearth of specific plans that i can use (maybe i did not see the obvious one). The funny part is i have to build my amp around the speaker that I'm getting. I live in the northeastern part of India (near Myanmar) and it is very difficult to source quality speaker. Luckily, my cousin is bringing me an Eminence LEGEND B810 from Canada ( it seems its the smallest she can find around her area to fit in her luggage). So, all the design has to revolve around this particular speaker. So, i have the following questions:

1. What wattage of amp will be suitable to drive it?  The amp will be mostly used for home/indoor application.
2. What components will you suggest - chip amp or solid state?
3. Can the Rod Elliot Project 27 be used or any other design? (I don't have any knowledge of circuit design and i have to build my amp based on ready-made design)
4. So far, the only amps that i have build are based on LM 386, TDA2030, LM1875 and a simple transistor amp using 2N3055. So, i cannot  attempt complicated design.

Thanks,
Rips
