I may be getting ahead of myself. I realize now that my Fender LT25 with 6 in speaker is not adequate. I’ve been practicing 6 months.
I’d like something bigger to perform in a small venue. Does anyone have cabinet making experience? I’m thinking of 2 10 in speakers and/or a single bigger speaker. I don’t know what kind of porting has to be done in a speaker cabinet, if anything. Not sure what kind of head unit to use either.
Marshall stacks! Yeah!
Welcome to BassBuzz @PJ !
There are a lot of “it depends” answers to this question. Things like indoor versus outdoor, the loudness of the drummer, how big is this small venue, how many guitars, and more.
Something along the lines of a Rumble 500 combo should be plenty but given the situation you could probably do just fine with something like a Rumble 100 in plenty of small venues.
You mentioned porting, are you considering building it yourself?
Marshall stacks are cool but are the wimpiest part of that picture. The other two things are Lemmy, and the Murder One, which is the real hero there 
Hi, yes, I have no idea where I will perform.
Yes, I would like to build my own speaker cabinets. No idea about design or where to start.
Think you pasted something by accident. I would remove your email.
Thanks.
This depends on how much you want to spend. I have a set of Genzler BA10-2 along with another but with 2 Cab. I can stack 3 cabs and it would be as loud as anything any amateur gig would encounter, yet it’s also can be tame enough to pleasantly enjoy in a shed.
I bought a Rumble 100 12 in.
This has been exactly my experience with my Rumble 100.
I had considered upgrading to the Rumble 500 but discovered in any venue where I needed more thump there was always a PA system I could plug into. 
Are you satisfied with it?
Arrives on Saturday.
Definitely get back and let us know what you think.
I would Recommend you not trying to reinvent the wheel. If you’re patient and watch the used ads, you can pick up a good fender rumble 500 for around $300. Unless you just really want to build your own equipment, you’ll be time and money ahead buy a good used unit. I have learned that less than several times over six decades of life.
Unbelievable. I have barely raised the volume
Are you talking about the Rumble 100?
Yes. Unfortunately, I have a hard time distinguishing the four effects switches. Vintage, Contour, and Bright I hardly notice a difference. When I press Overdrive, it gets louder.
My fifteen year old niece can hear the changes, though.
When I started out I couldn’t hear any difference either. After some time and practice I can hear the smallest tone alteration, even with my suboptimal hearing
