Im really after a more natural sound stage, live a live band playing infront of me !
Now while we are on subject theres somthing i need to get clear Mark.....
A valve Amp only produces a possitive push does it not? and when required a transistor negativally pulls back the wave to make a full wave from Polarity to Polarity?
Or is there just two Valves per push and pull?
Im sure some have a Transistor for negative pulling, where have i read this :-/
Or is this somthing ive mixed up? or is this another kind of Valve Amp?
QuoteI doubt My Pioneers will make a good output stage over Valve Pre Amping ?
Correct, they were fairly average in thier day in reality.
But, its much cheaper to put together a good Mosfet output stage and use a single or double valve pre-amp setup to get thedistortionvalve sound you seek.

There's me thinking I like loud music - and I'm currently listening to a 20 watt valve amp.Quotetake the glove box out its so much easier!!
i found a wire coat hanger a big help when feeding the cable through the grommet under the pollen filter

Yep. It's a long way to reach up to find that grommet without.
In fact, given that the need is for 70 amps and thus the cable is not going to be desperately thin, I would be inclined to drill and grommet a new hole for it.
As to which side to run it, most of the car electrics goes down the passenger side so that is where I routed the power cable. The driver's side sill is pretty much free of electrics (only the radio antenna + phone prewiring IIRC) so that's a better bet for any signal cables.

A valve Amp is my choice over the next coming months!
watts of Valve tho is a diffrent kind of wattage
Utter drivel!
What parralel universe does this other type of wattage come from!
Valve amps differ in as much as when over driven they dont clip so hard......but they do have large amounts of 2nd harmonics (which makes them sound soft), average response, mega power hungry, stupidly expensive.....
I prefer a good Mosfet output stage with a single valve based pre-amp if its the valve 'style' you are after!
Much cheaper, more reliable, less power hungry!

I see Iceman regular at shows and regular on the Phone TBH
Sign up on Streetbassers.co.uk and you will see most oldskoll chaps on there still!
Quite a few names I recognise there . .
Its been a few years since I last competed seriously, you never know, I may give it a go again someday. I have a load of old pictures from teh early days of competitions - might try and get them up on our website sometime.
