amps require lots of breathing room, and some high watt/amp units have fans along with the normal ribbed heat sink cases...thats why amps have those fins..to dissipate heat.. :)

How do you make a bass amp sound like an electric guitar amp?
If you are using a guitar amp as a pre-amp to a bass amp (plugging your guitar into a guitar amp, and then patching the guitar amp to the bass amp), do not do this. Bass, acoustic guitar, and vocals (mics) are low impedence, where guitars are high impedence. You can very easily damage your equipment doing this sort of thing. If you are trying to get guitar sounds out of a bass amp, in my opinion, it's next to impossible. There is only one type of bass amp that I know of that you can accomplish this with...Ampeg has a series of bass amps with "switchable tweeters", meaning that they come equipped with tweeters, but you can turn them in order to use rig as a bass amp, and turn them on in order to play an acoustic guitar thru the bass amp. Since an acoustic guitar is low impedence, this works fairly well. You can also plug in an electric to this setup, even tho an electric guitar is high impedence...It's possible to plug in a high impedence instrument into a low impedence amp, but it's not advisable to plug in a low impedence instrument into a high impedence amp.
Can you play an electric bass through a guitar amp?
They can plug in and work, but most guitar amps aren't built to give a solid bass output, so sound will be fuzzy/ weak. Best bet is to just get a small bass amp. A 15w Fender Rumble amp is about $150 and sounds great for home practice.
Can an electric guitar be played on a bass guitar amp?
I can't think of any issues other than the regular guitar amp may not have the size of speakers to give the best bass sound. ------ Guitar amps are made to output guitar frequencies. Bass amps are made to output bass frequencies. If you interchange the two, you will not do damage but at some point the amp will cut out. I believe it was Tony Iommi who used to play guitar through a bass amp to get some really nice bass distortion on his guitar. ------ I believe that after too much use, the low frequencies of a bass may damage the guitar amp. I'd say it's alright to use it with a guitar amp, but try to keep it in moderation.
What is gain knob for?
Gain is the INPUT volume of your guitar into the amp, drive select will select different types of distortion (or drive) and drive volume is the OUTPUT volume from the amp. Treble, Middle and Bass are all equalization knobs, turn the bass up for more bass in the signal and same applies with middle and treble or turn then down for less of the frequency in the signal
Can you play a guitar through a Bass amp through a guitar cab?
You can but the size of you guitar amp and its speaker will affect the sound. If you have a larger speaker in your guitar amp you'll probably be able to produce more of the frequencies of the bass guitar that a proper bass amp would. Electric bass guitars produce a louder sound than electric guitars so be careful not to blow your amp. Turn the volume output down on the bass guitar. I don't know for sure but I imagine if you don't use care you could probably damage a valve guitar amp by playing a bass too loudly through it.

Can bass guitar be played through a fender twin amp head unit into a bass speaker cabinet?
Yes you can, however don't turn the bass up on the amp, because you could risk blowing one of the speakers if there is to much bass being put throught them. But if the bass is relatively low, or in the middle on the head unit, it would be fine.

Setting bass boost on a car amp?
Setting the bass boost on your car's amp can be an easy way to increase the "bump" in your car whether the amp is running your speakers or subs. i wouldn't increase it too much for your speakers, i would let the subs do most of if not all the work of the lows (thats what they are built for). i would first adjust the sub level and low level on your stereo first if more bass is wanted, turn the bass boost knob or control on your amp no more than 3/4 the way up. again if more bass is still needed an new better amp or bigger better subs may be the answer.

I just bought four 6.5 pioneers speakers for my integra car the sound is great but bass is horrible will an amp stop the bass from being distorted when I turn up the volume. they are midhigh?
I would bet it would. Getting a sub woofer would be even better though. If you get a sub with an amp that has a cross over on it, you wouldn't have to worry about bass on your 6.5 pioneers.
Is there a way to make a guitar amp sound like a bass amp?
If this means you are using a guitar amplifier to power an electric bass, stop this immediately. Guitar amps are not designed to handle the low register of a bass, and you can blow out your speakers. If this means you are using a guitar amplifier to power a guitar, but want a more bass-like tone, turn down the mids and highs and turn up the lows on your EQ. That should do the trick.
What is the temperature at which your car overheats?
Each car overheats at a different temperature you need to look up and find out on the internet
How much bass does my speaks have?
Look at watt rating on them, the bigger the number the better. You also have to check output on stereo to see if you can amp up the power
