In many cases, yes. Many combo amps have an output jack, usually located on the back of the amp's head unit, that you can simply plug in to an external speaker cabinet.
If your amp doesn't have such an output jack, it is still possible to plug it into an external speaker cab. Most combos are set-up like self-contained head and cabinet units. A Fender Twin Reverb, for example, has a cable in the back that attaches the head unit to the 212 speaker enclosure. If you have a cable like this, you can get an adapter so you can plug the cable attached to the head unit into a longer extension cable, which you can plug in to a larger cabinet.
One thing you have to do is make sure your amp's head has enough power (watts) to properly power your half-stack cab. If it doesn't have enough power, the cab won't sound as good as you would like.

How do you run two guitar amplifiers into one speaker cabinet?
Here's what you do... you get 2 1/4" cables, run the first one from the amp to one of the inputs on the cab.(be sure to parallel the plugs, i.e., if you plug it into the left plug on the amp, plug into the right plug on the cab)...Then do the same with the other head, but use the opposite plugs (the right plug on the amp and the left plug on the cab)...It should work great...You may want to by an ABY selector box to run each amp... I do this with my 2 peavey heads and it works just fine....
Can a guitar amp head be used through a bass amp cab?
Yes. I've seen this done several times successfully, although the sound quality just isn't the same. Make sure the cab can handle the amount of watts you are using. NEVER run a bass guitar through a guitar amp head or speakers.
Is it possible to supply power to a guitar speaker cabinet and use it without having an amp head?
no, theres nothing there to amplify the guitar signal. ive plugged directly into the speaker cab and nothing happened
What is the difference between a quad cab and extended cab?
A quad cab has four doors where an extended cab may have just two doors or two full doors and two smaller, reverse doors. A quad cab is basically a crew cab, though Dodge has a quad cab and a crew cab. The Dodge crew cab is a bit more spacious on the inside. If you have people in the back seat of a Dodge, the extended cab will have the least space for them, then the quad cab and the crew cab the most.
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 you hook up a 212 120w crate vtx combo amp to a marshall half stack cab?
Yes
Can bass guitar be played through a Fender Super Reverb if the speakers are changed?
You can install speakers rated at a high power level but the fact that the cabinet is open back means you won't get as deep a tone as a closed back cab...and you can't close the back of this combo amp. An alternative is to connect an external bass cab to the amp's Spkr output jack instead of the internal speakers.
Does a guitar speaker cab need its own power supply?
Typically, the speaker cabinet is powered by the Amplifier. It's the amp that is raising the volume and power to make the speaker move. "Combo" amps have the amplifier and speakers in one box.

Which guitar amp would you recommend for hard rock and why hughes and kettner switchblade marshall jvm or evh 5150 mini?
Hi it depends on your budget really and where you plan to play. Just at home or gigs and if you are going to gig, will you be playing small or larger venues? Large venues would need something with a high output, preferably a separate amp and speaker cab. For smaller venues, a combo amp with one or two speakers built in would be fine. For playing at home, a smaller practice amp or small combo would be more than enough. Also, depending on the kind of sound you want, you would need to decide if you want a solid state or a tube amp. Bottom line though is how much money you want to spend but you cannot really go wrong with a Marshall amp or a Hiwatt or Vox.

Can a 1957 ford f-100 shortbox cab and box fit on a 1979 ford bronco frame?
I had that combo back in high school. Whoever built it lengthened the frame about 5 inches. The firewall was still pushed back into the cab a bit to make room for the 400M.
How do you wire a sub and an amp in a 1995 Chevy silverado?
The amp has connections for a "hot", "ground", and "remote" wires. I have a 95 extended cab. I put my amp behind my back seat and screwed it to the back of the cab. The hot wire, typically red, needs to be no smaller than 8 gauge wire depending on how powerful the amp and sub are. This wire needs to hook into the "hot" or "+" port in your amp. You might have to splice the wire and crimp a connector to the end of it. The other end needs to connect to the hot or +(red) side of your battery. The ground can be connected to any metal bolt that is directly connected to your vehicles chassis. The remote wire can be ran from your amp to your fuse box which is on the dash board on the drivers side. it can be a really small wire as is doesnt provide "power" and you can take a 10-20 amp fuse out of its place and wrap the (blue) remote wire around one of the 2 prongs of the fuse, it doesnt matter which one. Then simply plug the fuse back in. The ground wire is usually black by the way. Now get some Monster Cable speaker wire and run it from your amp to your subwoofer. It doesnt really matter which terminal you plug the wire into, (the + or the -), just be certain you do it the exact same way on the other end of the wire. next you need another speaker wire but it needs to have plugs on it, like an RCA cable. It plugs into the output terminals in your amp and runs to your stereo. Stock radios will not have plugs for this, but most after market decks do. There are ways to hook it up if you have a stock deck, but I would recommend getting an after market deck to maximize sound quality.
Where is the amlifier for 2001 dodge ram quad cab?
I helped a friend that owns a 2001 dodge ram ext. cab which im almost sure is the only option for that year other than a reg. cab. His had the infinity speaker system in it and every speaker has a amp built into the back of it, im not sure how it works but i know that that is where it is, and if you are looking to replace your speakers with non- OEM speakers, you need to run new wires to the speakers because of how the amp/speakers are set up.

If you have an 8x10 bass amp cabinet how many watts does your bass amp head have to be?
8x10 cabinets can usually handle 800-1200 watts, so an amp that can produce wattage close to that is ideal. I believe amplifiers should be stronger than the cabinets, so that the cab is pushed without overheating the amp. Also using an amp that has significantly less wattage will still produce sound, but the amp may overheat if pushed too hard or if it is under the wrong ohm load.
