What do you need a schematic for? You disconnect the speaker from the speaker leads, yank the amp chassis out of the cabinet and throw it in the trash. Mount a phone jack somewhere and connect it to the speaker with two leads. Done. Now, how were you planning on filling in the big holes left in the cabinet where the chassis was?

Bluesky, I guess he could just D/C the speaker connection to present amp. And solder a ext speaker jack onto the present speaker. Then, plug in the speaker to another amp? And leave the unused Frontman amp in the cab.

That would definitely keep the holes filled. :lol:

MyStrat, the amp and therefore volume knob, is completely bypassed in the Frontman. You are just using the built-in speaker. In fact, the Frontman isn't even going to be plugged into the wall socket. Another main amp will be driving the speaker in the now-defunct Frontman.

No schemos needed. You wire the speaker to an outlet jack (bypassing the connection to the Frontman). You plug the EXT SPEAKER outlet of the active amp into the now defunct Frontman's speaker connection. Use a speaker extention cord. NOT an instrument cable. And you are good to go.
