Help me pick the best spot for my speaker jack and OT wires.

Post by gtrcollectr »

This is a liverpool combo that I have just cleaned up the heaters on. Problem is my heaters now travel right next to where my speaker jack is normally located.

Notice the 2 holes between v1 and v2 thats where my speaker jack normally resides.....this is a combo and really needs the jack to point down into the cab or I would simply move it to the back wall of the chassis.

how would you run the output tranny wires and nfb wires and would the jack being that close to the heaters induce some noise?

Thanks,
Todd

Why not out the back with a right angle plug, Fender style? Otherwise, the jack has a high level signal and you might not notice any slight heater hum. My hunch is you'll be fine but others here know better and will chime in. It's such an easy connection for you to try out first, and you probably have enough wire to move it from the bottom to the back w/o resoldering. Give it a shot and see what you hear, when constrained you just got to do what you got to do, and most times things work out ok, otherwise you can fly your heaters Fender style w/o too much work.

I tried several different locations and did not notice any extra noise from the heaters when placed in the original location so thats where it ended up...Thanks.
