Can you damage an amplifier by unplugging a guitar without first turning the volume on the amplifier down or off?

It depends on the amp. If it is very old (vintage) or if it has very fragile tubes (like a Marshall Class A) or something like that, then it is possible. However, if you keep your amps at a reasonable volume you shouldn't have that problem, but don't try to test to see if I'm right, OK? I have heard you can but I've never seen it.

Will using a 2 ohm 1200 watt amplifier be ok to use with three 4 ohm speakers 12 and 2-10?
If you connect three 4 ohm speakers in parallel, the amplifier would see a load of about 1.3 ohms. This definitely could damage the amp if you drive it too loud.
Can electronic drum set be connected to standard stereo amplifier eg Yamaha RX-V493RDS and speakers eg jamo 128 meant for home use not concerts or do I need to buy anything else?
Yes. Any electronic drum set can be connected to a standard stereo amplifier although it is not recommended. Standard speakers are not designed for electronic drums and they could damage your speakers if the volume and/or bass is set too high.
Does connecting a lead from a guitar amp's input jack to the headphones jack damage the amp or speaker?
This type of connection should have no effect since both components would be looking for a signal and neither of them would be receiving one. Connecting headphones to the output of the amplifier on the other hand...
Can cold temperatures harm LCD TVs?
Extreme cold could damage the screen, also taking something electronic from a cold place and putting it in a warm place, then turning it on can sometimes fry circuits due to condensation inside the machine on the boards. When you take it out of the cold be sure to let it set for an hour or so just to get the whole thing room temp before turning it on.
Can you use a laney hcm65b bass amplifier for a standard 6 string electric guitar Gibson?
You'll be able to get a sound out of it for practice, but the tone probably won't be very good. The size of the speaker cone required to produce the bass (12") means it won't really be responsive enough to deal with the higher note on the guitar successfully.I don't THINK it'll damage guitar or amp. It shouldn't damage your bass amp, but if you use a bass with a guitar amp it will pretty much destroy the amp.

What is the basic principle on which power amplifier works?
power amplifier works on the principle that by any means we have to increase the area of amplifier so that maximum amount of current flow from the device without any damage to the device. so we use non planar technology. i.e. all terminals of the device are not at same plane. sudhanshu kumar ece 2nd year(b-tech) siliguri institute of technology
Will connecting speakers in series cause volume loss as the circuit progresses?
Yes. And it will also present the wrong load impedance (mismatch) at the output of the audio amplifier, with the possibility of damage to the amplifier.
