## Questions & Answers

**Q: Im actually building a 6 string ukulele sized explorer shaped guitar, hollow.  Could i just build the amp in the guitar body?**
A: Yes, you can build an amp and speaker into the body of your uke provided that you use a magnetic pickup. If you try
to use a transducer type pickup, which works on vibration, you will encounter major feedback problems. The speaker
will vibrate the instrument body creating a feedback loop.

**Q: Are you going to have any of the 2.5 watt kits pre wired without the speaker available anytime soon?**
A: Yes they should be back in stock early this coming week.

**Q: Could you hook up a larger speaker, say an 8 inch speaker to the electronics on this and have it work?**
A: As long as it's near the 4-watt 8-ohm range, i think it should work alright.

**Q: Will it perform better with a sealed or open back style enclosure?**
A: You know, I'm not sure. I actually used a Southern Draw Panatella cigar box that utilizes a three piece lid with three hinges. I guess you could use an enclosure similar to a Pignose with a hinge on the front where the speaker is mounted. Hope that helps. I have another of the same cigar box and I'm thinking of putting the speaker in a similar position that you'd find in an old Ampeg bass cabinet utilizing folded horn style of speaker mounting. The thing is, this amp kit is cheap enough to experiment.
