Other than blowing the speakers you mean? No, no problem.

We didn't mean to be unfriendly, just poking a little fun is all. Guitar speakers won't handle bass, at least not very loud or for very long. They're made with lightweight components (cones, voice coils, spiders) so they'll have a quick response time and deliver higher frequencies. But there's a trade off, they don't handle much power and they have a "throw" that's too short for bass, the voice coils are easily overextended and sprung out of the air gap.

Yeah, don't take it the wrong way. The only way to learn is to ask. Just messing with ya man.

I bought a Peavey Cirrus 5, an Essex SX SJB-62 and a Fender Bassman 25. Should be good to go.

Thanks -
