Will this work with the Bravo Audio Ocean tube amp? It seems that it's an 12AU7 vs a 12AX7, but maybe that does not matter.

all these tube amps have the same "connection". you will be fine whatever you choose.

You can look it up on the web, I think the AU vs. the AX has something to do with where it is from or company. If you search for it they have really good sites that go into detail what the numbers and letters mean and what is compatible with what. Call your local amp tech as well as whatever you are putting it in will need to be biased before replacing with another. I hope that helps

A 12ax7 has much more gain than a 12au7. If the position of the tube is V1 the amp will be louder but may distort in an undesirable manner. I would research further, consulting your amp's documentation and other users before buying.

A 12ax7 preamp tube has a gain factor of 100%. A 12au7 has a gain factor of around 40%. If you are not sure than replace the same type tube. I found that the Tungsol 12ax7 is a good preamp tube that is high gain with just the right grit for blues and blues rock. It will work well in the V1 or V2 posistion of most Fender guitar amps. A 12au7 tube is a more common high fi and tube radios.

All "12" series tube pins are identical. A 12ax7 has a higher output than a 12au7 (which has the lowest of the series) and may cause distortion or some other unforeseen issue with the circuitry. Before proceeding, you need to know why the manufacturer chose to use a 12au7 and its application in this amplifier. A great rule to follow is don't re-invent the wheel - if the manufacturer designed a circuit to use a particular tube, there's a reason why.

Dude any amp will work with your subs but I'd you want the most power wire your subs to one ohm. I have two infinity 12 inch dual voice cola hooked up to this running one ohm resistance and it's so loud it out powers my speakers if I crank it

It will work with all most any amp,and comes every thing you need,including speaker wire for your Sub,an RCA cord to run the signal from your deck to the amp.And even new ends gold plated ends of your choice to use .I have bought several of these kits of all different qualities.This one is priced fair and a good choice for that amp too.

According to alpine, if the amp has a bass knob input jack, then this knob will work. Looking at the amp, I can tell you that it WILL NOT work. There is no input for the knob to interface with this amp.

It's not ideal, but you can buy a "Y" cable that has a 1/8" headphone plug on one end and L/R RCA plugs (male) on the other ends. Plug the headphone end into the headphone jack on the V2 and the RCA plugs into the line input on your amp. You would set the volume level on the Bravo about mid-band and then control the main volume at the amp. If your amp does not have a volume control, use the volume on the Bravo as you main volume control. Be careful, though, as the output of the Bravo (when set to max) will almost certainly drive the inputs of your amp into clipping. You'll know when this happens, as it will sound badly distorted.

I have the same amp and was wondering the same thing. I'm thinking it should work just fine

Take your your amp to the stereo store they will tell you if that will work, that what I did to my amp, it depend on how many bridge and channel you have? I don't know what you have on your amp?

Although I'm not familiar with your amp, the Tungsol 12 ax7 is an excellent, low noise replacement tube for nearly all 12ax7 applications.

not too sure i have it running at 1ohm and it's great, the amp pushed my Diamond 12" 400watt sub great, clean sound too, getting the Alpine SWR-12D2 12 next week I'll let you know well it pushes that. I have my doubts but only time will tell, I can tell you that's it's not 3000 watts tho, but from experience it's enough for a single 12" 400 watt sub.

Man i wouldn't hook anything old school up the this amp it is a straight up beast. It shredded my JL 15w3 now I have it stroking a JL 12w6 and they say its a the best fit for the amp. Its my first professional system so i dont know what else to recommend, good luck mate.

Yes, the 12ax7 in a single package replaced two 6av6. So, the tube can power both channels. One can also experiment with tubes from other vendors and achieve different tonal responses. Each vendor has different characteristics they market (guitar amps, receivers, preamps, etc.)

Yes, both the volume control on the amp and the one on your phone, tablet or computer will also work. At first, it takes a bit of fiddling around to figure out how high or low to set each but you'll get it in a few minutes. I would, however, recommend spending the extra $20 and get the Bravo Ocean Mini. If you're looking for a tube amp sound, the Ocean uses tube for both amp and pre-amp where the V1 is only the amp. Both are really nice and fun if you want to play around with tube swapping and the like as well.

I just sent you an answer -- the cable size this amp useds is 1/4" -- I should have looked this up. Sorry. Dan T.

It should work, the sound clarity from the amp is great unless you max out the volume.

I believe that as long as you are only changing the preamp tubes (12AX7), you don't need to mess with the bias. If you're changing the power tubes as well then you may need a bias, depends on your amp.

I am no expert but after doing my research this is what I got. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0070Z87YO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It isn't turned up all the way and it still does the job well. I do recommend a base amp so it will only go off when base sounds come through

I use a y-cord and that works fine. However, you likely will not be able to tell a difference. Best answer: try each way and see which you like better or if you can even tell. I don't see how a y-cord will harm the amp as suggested below - have used it for years. Don't play it too loud. John O.
