If you post in the wrong spot no worries, I will move it to the correct area if needed.
However I'm not sure if I will be keeping this cab. It BARELY FITS IN THE DISCO AND THE front passenger has no leg room. I don't know. If I start playing shows 3-4 times a month I'm going to probably want something smaller. I also wish I was in a band at the moment so I'd have a place to leave it as it's a tad big for a practice amp.
What's gonna suck is when I find a band the first few months I'm going to take my gear home with me (trust) that's going to be pain. Maybe I'll just leave it at my church.

I think this weird that this cab barely fits in the disco. It fitted nicely in my Altima, and it fits in the GF's Accent! And it fitted better in my father's Grand Cherokee (you wouldn't believe how band gear stuff I fitted in that truck). I hope for you it is one of the newer version with dolly wheels and the big handle at the back. They are easily transportable that way.
I hope you find a band, being on a stage is one of the best things I've experienced. I'm not in a band at the moment and it really bothers me every time I see a live gig.

I was mistaken about the terror. I thought you owned a tiny terror which is a class A amp. Class A amps are usually 7.5 watts and 15 watts amps. They have a single tube for pre-amp and a single tube for amplification. They are wired differently, and usually they can be as loud as any 100W guitar amp.

Its the newer version yet old enough to be made in america. Yes BANDS ARE GREAT. I regret quitting mine, but we got a new singer who wasn't up to par and they wanted to go on tour I wanted to go to college.

my ampeg cab was older and it suprised me how low the wattage rating was, as far as no replacement for displacement, in volume yes, in sound quality no. The thing with wattage is when a speaker is moving at a certain frequency and you change notes, that speaker has to change frequency(speed its moving) the more power you have the better your amp can change that speed. Thats why cheap amps always sound muddy they don't have the power to manipulate the speakers.

In what way does it suffer? not being arguementative just not sure how you mean. I definatly see how a tube head creates a nice mellow tone, but you need wattage to get a nice crisp bite, that little bit of growl(not distortion).

This is what I was getting at, its out of a Gallien-Kreuger owners manual:
When a power amplifier is pushing several speaker cones,
and a high-power transient like a string slap comes along,
the amp has to tap into a large power reserve to maintain
cone control. It’s kind of like grabbing a swing at the
bottom of it’s travel and trying to push it the other way
- it could knock you over. If the amplifier doesn’t have
this ability, the sound is unresponsive and less out front.
The amp loses it’s punch and feel at higher playing levels.
Instead of responding to your every command, the amplifi
er simply cuts those transients off, leaving you with the
feeling that something is missing in your sound.
Since most amplifi ers have limited output current capacity,
they need “current limiting circuits” to protect against
self-destruction. High-power transients trigger these
circuits, which rob the amplifi er of it’s ability to control
speaker cones. This creates a mushy, unresponsive feel
to your sound. The 2001RB has extremely high current
capacity, so it doesn’t need current limiting circuits for
over-load protection.and a high-power transient like a string slap comes along,
