Can the headphone jack on a Nashville 112 be used for a speaker out connection? If so would I need to disconnect the speaker in the amp? Thanks for help from anyone.

That sounds like double no. I guess I'll solder extra wire onto the existing speaker wires and solder a female jack on them. I'll make a bracket to fit in the amp cabinet for it. I'm wanting to run a 15" BW in a cabinet on it.
Thanks for the reply and that is kind of how I figured it too.

If you use an external speaker you must disconnect the internal.
But, my personal opinion, why do you need a 15". The existing speaker is more than adequate. |

The headphone outlet doesn't have enough power to run anything but a headphone speaker.
It could ,however, be used as a sort of "line out" to feed a powered external speaker.That is- a speaker with it's own amplifier and controls.
Just patching onto the existing speaker will change the speaker impedence load and may be detrimental to the amp or your sound quality.
There are a number of threads about this in the recent past. |

I just want to try it with a 15" and see what it sounds like. The 12" seems to break up a little bit with my old Sho-Bud. I won't do anything perminent untill I see what it sounds like.I knew that I would have to disconnect the 12" in the amp.

| The BW (assuming you are going to use a Peavey 15" speaker) is a very hungry speaker. I'm not sure the 80 watt power amp will give you what you're looking for. |

As long as you subsitute a four ohm 15" speaker in place of the four ohm 12" speaker, it will work.
You can connect a speaker from the headphone out, but you probably won't hear it too well. There's really no point in doing this as the headphone output doesn't produce enough power to make it worthwhile.
I suggest that you connect an instrument cable from the pre amp output jack(on the rear panel), to the input of an external power amp, then power that 15" speaker from that external power amp.

It will sound like a Nashville 1000, without the power.
I would not do it.

No, it will sound like Session 400 with a Nashvile 112 for a pre amp. I think I am correct.

| A lot is going to depend on whether or not the 15" is the correct impedance (are all BW's 4 ohms?) and what type of cabinet you have it in; the cabinet can make a huge difference in volume, punch and breakup. |

4 ohms in a Session cabinet.

| Black Widow speakers are offered in four and eight ohms. The cabinet will also make a difference. |

Mike,
1-15" BW in a Session 400 cabinet. 4 ohms, only 1 speaker. Thanks for the information on the 8 ohm speakers, if I ever decide to make a double 15" rig I will sure be in touch with Peavey for them.
Thanks

I don't think the amp would know the difference between an Emmons and a Denley, (I would), are you SURE it's the speaker ?
The 112 has an in-built limiter that helps prevent speaker overload.
At a concert to 3000 people or local dances I've NEVER made mine do that.
Signal 'break-up' can have many sources, the MOST probable is "Input Overload"..
Try INCREASING the "Master Gain" and REDUCING the "Pre Gain"..
IMHO FWIW.

| I just worked on a Peavey TNT 115S bass amp. The report was the speaker was bad as it was breaking up on the bass E string. Turned out it wasn't a speaker problem but just some "dirty" connections and a dirty pot. |

All of speaker break up was just some dirty pots. I tried the amp with another 112 speaker and it sounded the same. I cleaned all of the pots and jacks in the amp and it quit. Now if I could just get rid of the hum from the coil tapped single coil pickups I would have it made. I'm going to order me some George-L cords, maybe that will help some with the sound also. Thanks for the help. I'll have to send b0b another donation for that.
