Tim C.	Re: Layla Champ on 429 Ocean Boulevard (maybe)! Tracy, I bet it would sound good through a 12". Just make sure you use a 3.2 or 4 ohm 12" speaker or use two 8 ohm 12" speakers wired in parallel or you will loose a lot of volume. I think part of the small sound of champs is the small cabinet. Bigger cabinet, bigger sound as it were. Maybe thats the ticket! Build a champ circuit in a larger cabinet with one twelve inch 4 ohm speaker. Or is this idea already in another thread? Best wishes, Tim C.
