What is the best way to set up a heavy metal rehersal - where do I put the amps?

It's tough with no monitors, but I would say your best bet is to put all of your amps and drum set behind the band.  That way the sound has to pass by you first.  Try to position your amps so that if the sound was coming out in a straight line from each amp, the lines would all cross at a certain point in the middle of where you're all standing.  That way you can hear all the instruments, but the bass player will be a little closer to his amp to hear himself a little more, guitar player will be closer to his amp, etc.  This isn't a perfect setup, but it's hard to get much better with no monitors.

The best thing would be a copper wire attached to a metal bar into the earth. Other choice would be the gorund wire in an electrical outlet (careful not to hit live wires) or to a rubber mat on a concrete floor

get yourself to a guitar center.   they are everywhere.  they have all kinds of pedals all set up for you.

The Shure wireless guitar system is an excellent choice. My friend has one and when he plays, there is no static, and even when he is in the other end of the house it still sounds like he is right next to his amp plugged in!

I personally think that people would be much more willing to spend time answering your questions, if you then actually give them some feedback, like choosing the Best Answer". \n\nI'm not sure what you mean by "Music System with a Mic"?\nYou mean you want to build a whole Karaoke system?  And that, after you have asked some time ago "how to make a door bell"....?!\n\nWell then, here is a microphone pre-amplifier  (for stereo, you need 2 of these): http://jap.hu/electronic/micamp.html\nAs for the power amplifier, we would need to know how many watts you want. Here is a 22 Watt schematic:  http://www.aaroncake.net/circuits/amp20w.htm

good luck at any retail store u need a special cord i forgot what its called but i had to go to a music store and they had to custom order it...what it does is serve as a headphone set exept insted of a headphone u get another male jack to hook up to your amp ( with a converter of course) so basically its like a double male headphone cord

A good, used 30watt bass amp is probably worth between $80 & $100. Of course, I'm just guessing here. I haven't seen what your idea of "in good condition" is. Try asking around the local music store. Ask them to sell you a good, used 30w amp. This way you'll get an idea what their getting for the same item. Ampeg is a good name.

first create a mixer.  then create a drum machine and makes suer it's plugged in correctly by flipping around to the back.  Now play with the drum machine until you lay a fat beat.  Your started.\n\neverything else is reading the manual and experimentation.

You need a high powered amplifier.

It'll sound fine...but another cab isn't gonna make that much of a difference for you, aside from range of sound and loudness, basically.  It's really all about the amp head.  If you have a good distortion, you'll get the sound you want though.\n\nGetting the Marshall head is a good idea though.  Go for a tube.  Spend the extra money.  It's worth it.

I love your suggestion. I often find poorly explained areas in equipment manuals. What's the question though?

My "amp" has 120 watts

I would use a length of nichrome wire (see links below) stretched between a couple copper blocks. You could make some sort of pinch block out of the copper and connect a power supply to the copper. (or drill a hole through it with a set screw, tap a hole and us a pan head screw)  You will have to insulate the copper from the rest of the world so you don't short something out.  G-10 (a glass/epoxy resin) makes a good moderately high temperature insulator.  One of the contacts should be fixed and the other allowed to "float" and allow for changes in the length of the wire due to heating.  A spring could be used to provide tension or an air cylinder.  The power supply will depend on the length and diameter wire you choose.  If there is a problem with the electrical contacts heating up, you could run some cooling water through them.  Just drill a hole through it and 1/8 NPT pipe tape both ends.  You can plumb some water to it and it will keep the copper chilled.

If its a small car the only chose would be a Bazooka tube. The most bass in the smallest place. If its a big car, then it depends on the box that the sub is in

get an audio jack reducer at radioshack and an audio jack enlarger.  Run guitar into computers microphone and alter settings so you dont get a distoreted signal and run out of the headphone jack into amp.  I do it all the time!

The basic components are:\n\nAn antenna (to "capture" the RF signal)\nA filter (LC circuit to tune to the frequency of interest)\nAn amplifier (to amplify the weak signal)\nAn FM demodulator (to downconvert and "decode" the FM signal and get back the baseband signal which is what our ears interepret as sound)\nAnother amplifer (make it variable so you can change the volume)\nA speaker\nOh, and of course the power supply (battery) to bias all the active components.\n\nI know you asked for a wiring diagram...but maybe try purchasing each of the above components seperately as modules and put the thing together... just do a google search... but congrads for trying to build an FM radio... It shouldn't be too bad... Make sure you have a bread board....
