Using your Bad Cat Cub 1x12 Extension Cabinet is a breeze. First, make sure your amplifier head or combo is turned off. Connect the cabinet to the appropriate output on your amplifier using a speaker cable. Once connected, you can turn on your amplifier and start playing. When it comes to placement, you can put it on a flat and stable surface. For the best sound, experiment with different positions in the room. As for maintenance, keep the cabinet clean by dusting it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight, as these can damage the cabinet and the speaker. If you need to move it, always hold it by the heavy - duty hand - stitched leather handle to prevent any damage.
