Is it stupid to stack cabinets on top of heads?

[phillybhatesme]

I'm still in the process of figuring out where everything goes in my room. Can I stack shit like this? Or is this stupid? The SV20 has vents on top.

If if doesn't tip over, you're fine. You do what makes you happy.

I wouldn't block any vents. I run fans in the back of my SVTs. Because they get good and hot.

Not merely stupid, it’s flown blown retarded

Yeah, my biggest concern is venting the SV20. I also probably won't even run it that hot, who am I kidding lol.

I wouldn’t put anything on top of that cool purple mini stack , just cause it takes away from how badass it looks

Yeah, it's really this lol. Thanks.

In addition to overheating concerns, you might not like how that top cab sounds on its own. With it so far from the floor, it'll be missing a lot of bass from reflection off the floor and might sound thin and fizzy IMHO. (I don't like playing full stacks for this reason, but maybe others like how it sounds).

yep -

Absolutely yes

I put all my guitars in their cases. Then I stack all my amps on top of them. At the very top I place some kind of flower arrangement. All cables are kept at my neighbor’s house.

I would stack the cabinets on top of each other then heads on top of the cabs

Stack the heads on the cabs?

Stack the heads on the cabs?

And separate the purple bois? Idk. But yes, that is likely the move.

It’s not worth the expense but it would be bad ass to get the top cab reworked to mirror the bottom cab.

A little shelving unit could give the lower head more breathing room, but guys have stack heads on top of each other forever, both on and hot.

I wanna get everything done in purple tolex lol.

 

[nightlight]

Don't do it, as it's likely to leave depression marks on the tolex. Cabs are far heavier than amps, which are okay to stack, they seldom leave a mark. But a 2x12 will literally be 40-50kg. At least I wouldn't. A good rule of thumb is heavier stuff at the bottom, lighter stuff on top.

 

[matttornado]

For storage, yes but it looks a little unstable. I wouldn't do that, especially if playing. You need good ventilation.
