Well Ambrose, 

Here I go again, floundering in the sea of intellectual uncertainty. I'm having some problems with it. Today, I'm taking a break from all this Voo Doo and gonna build a cigar box one-string... My ego has taken a beating. I need a little success.

I've generally viewed electronics as a mysterious science, so, good on you for emerging yourself into the world of electronical wizzardry!

 OK Keith, sorry 'bout that.

This is an American Warehouse Speakers G8C, an 8 Ohm 20 watt guitar amp speaker of the "American Vintage" series.. I bought two, they were on sale. I bought them in anticipation of my emergence as an amateur hobby guitar amp builder. That was in June. After hundreds of hours of reading and teaching myself electronics and making a pest of myself with the kind and patient electrical wizards of this forum. I have gone through dozens of hours of soldering, one and a half tubes of solder, a square foot of vero of various sorts, to build one amp board that lasted long enough to install it into a cabinet. I even have two speaker cabinets that I've nearly finished and a distortion and overdrive pedal ready to start on... Lonely little cabinets... I'll try to post the only one-minute sound file I have of it someday. 

 Sooo,

 I broke down and bought a Gitty amp board the other day and it arrived yesterday...(I'm not admitting defeat. Just taking a break from awesomeness and letting Gitty be awesome for me for now.)

 So, here I am, looking forward to seeing what those speakers sound like with my guitars and someone else's amp... Off to try to finish it later today. Wish me luck?
