I want to busk. I thought I'd use the AX8 into a 50w Roland Street Cube EX. After inquiring here, I recently purchased the 50w Roland Street Cube EX for about $499 online. Now I'm reevaluating that decision and considering what to do.
The first time I got to turn it up, it sounded thin, and not that loud. I turned it all the way up and heard a crackly flub sound. Did I partially blow a speaker? It wasn't even that loud! I turned it back down halfway but the flub still happened when I picked hard with heavy PM on the low strings.
The AX8 goes into the Cube EX's "Line In" with XLR to 1/4" TRS cables.
Afterwards, I found this video showing that this 50w amp ships with two 15w 8" speakers (Made in CHN; probably $5/pair.)
Should I return the Cube and get something better? And if so, what?
Or, if I shell out another $80 for replacement 20w Jensens will they provide the type of flat response needed by the AX8? And if they do provide the type of flat response needed by the AX8, will they blow when the Cube EX is turned all the way up?
