Want advice to turn passive Kemper Cab into powered Kab

Enchilada_Jones · July 12, 2024 at 12:56 AM New

I have a passive Kemper Cab and want to convert it to a powered version. Is there a replacement part for the amp in the Powered Kemper Cab?

I understand it will need some modification to be built into the passive cabinet but I can handle that.

I understand a separate amp provides more versatility but I need this to be a simple one piece option, I have lots of versatile options already…

You can buy Icepower amps ( what is used by Kemper) and install them in your existing cabinets, with very little modification

I built a Kab clone and did this before the powered cabs were even available

Is there a particular model number for the Icepower amp I need to get?

If you're living in the States, there is only one IcePower dealer: Parts Express in Ohio.

IcePower is also what Seymour Duncan uses in their PowerStage amps:

Rolling your own is *dirt* cheap in comparison. It's also more fun if you're at all into the DIY thing.
