I am wanting to build a subkick and have a small bass amp (Fender BXR25) that features a 10" bass speaker. However I am also wanting to use the bass cab as normal and not have to keep toggling between XLR subkick wiring and normal amp wiring. It also seems like subkicks have to be close to the bass drum head to work well (I have no actual experience myself with using them, only what I have seen online) and keeping the speaker in the cab would limit the proximity to about 4'-5" from the front of the reso bass drum head. I have seen and read about people using speakers already in cabinets for subkicks but not very often, and the info has been limited in my findings so far
Can a speaker in a closed back cab work well as a subkick even if the closest I can get it is still about 4"-5" from the reso bass drum head? Also, can the speaker be wired to allow for a XLR connector to be permanently wired and mounted on the back of the cab while being able to have the speaker wired for normal use when not using it as a subkick?
First post, please be gentle....
