Most little amps & Peavey Nashvilles etc have just the one speaker, is it possible to add another speaker box to one of those, & if so, how do you hook it up??

The easiest way would be to simply unhook the speaker and hook up and extension cabinet of the same impedance. You don't want to run the internal speaker and an extension in most cases due to the impedance mismatch created.
Caveat - you'll move more air with more peakers or a larger cabinet, but many times with small practice amps you'll notice a lack of bass; not so noticable with the small internal speaker, but REALLY noticeable with bigger stuff.

Unless the amp has an extension speaker jack, it's probably not advisable to go adding speakers. Many small amps are designed for a 4-ohm load, and use a 4-ohm speaker. So unless you use two 8-ohm speakers (hooked in parallel), the impedance match won't be correct.
Put simply, if you want a "big amp sound", use a big amp. |
