Even one of the mini 9v battery amps, like Marshall Ms2, Danelectro Honeytone, Pignose etc. Are not going to stand up to being in a band situation, they tend to distort easily at higher volumes and have limitations. They are still guitar amps like this Champion amp kit.
A 50cc Moped and a Rolls Royce are both built for travel one will do that better than the other.
Your $30 kit is a far cry from a real Guitar amp circuit. 8|

Regard this;
"I was surprised that the speaker from the Line 6 Amp seemed to work better when in its original amp cabinet when taken out it distorted a bit too much."
Yes often the case, speakers need to be in a box or at least mounted on a baffle.
QuoteYes i do understand the difference and reasons for different speaker types. I also go on sound, from testing and the amp I built from a subwoofer has a setting for full range (I assume this bypasses the built in subwoofer preamp inside). It gives the speaker judt that more full mid range but lacks higher frequencies so by adding a tweater or stereo speaker off the main speaker it gives it great high end frequencies. I have used this setup as
Don't use woofers for guitar they are a completely different design.
If you pay close attention to the design you will note that woofers are long travel cones and the cone moves a long way in/out, they are high compliance drivers and need to be in a well designed box. they are for hifi.
Easy to pick them as they often have a big rubber surround on the edge of cone.
While a musical instrument speaker is low compliance, they don't require a strict sealed box. You can use then open back or closed back. easy to tell as the cone has little travel and the cone edge usually has a tight ripple spider.
1. a mini PA with a small 4 channel mixer.
2. As an amp for Acoustic and electric guitar, ukulele with a guitar preamp,
3. As a amp for bass guitar, using a bass preamp
QuoteYes thanks I understand your points totally. Great information much respect thanks.
