Helloooo.

I've noticed a few Bantom Bass amps on eBay (approx. 300 bucks) recently and have a question.

Would it be possible to scrap the Styrofoam speaker and install four 10'' speakers for a bassman clone like thing? I was just wondering. ^^

Anything is possible with amps. It just comes down to being more trouble that its worth. A Bantam bass amp has the trapezoidal styrofoam speaker made by Yahmaha and they are cool.
To convert an amp like this to 4 10's . you would have to cut and install a new baffle board, make sure you have enough room and install 4-10" speakers and wire it to match the impedence of the original speaker. If the original speaker is 8 ohms, than it will be a challenge to wire 4-10s to come out with that impedence.
Even after allof that, you may not like to sound of it. I would try a separate 4x10 cabinet with the amp before modifying it. That should give you an idea of how it will sound.

good luck,
