Again thanks for the advice, hate to ask for it again but what would be a good amp? I want something to make the house shake!

Anything around 60 - 100 watts and at LEAST 2 12' speakers! Haven't bought any larger amps in a LONG time....but my 2 older Peavey's would demolish the windows, the home furnishings.....and the eardrums! LOL The Fender Frontman 212 is CHEAP and I believe 100w. A half-stack, or a full stack would rock your little world too, if you are aiming for sheer volume! :D I like Peavey and Fender amps. Look at a few amps online and read some reviews if you don't have a decent music store near by. :D Good luck!

I meant 12" speakers, not 12' GEEZ, I suppose those would do it though LOL

Just about any 100 W amp will do it but do you just want extreme volume or are you concerned with good tone too?Any non master volume 100W Marshall will give you lots of clean volume before it starts to distort but when you get into making it distort you'll have to wear ear protection.A 50W Marshall half stack will be plenty loud for in house playing and will shake things up.
A 4-12 cabinet will move more air and consequently cause more house shaking vibrations. I mentioned Marshall because I'm a big fan but just about any amp 50W and up will give you loads of volume and house shaking potential especially with a 4-12 cabinet.BTW look at my thread on the Lounge forum about the 100 W Marshall amp comparison and you'll hear a 100W Marshall hiitting 126 db.

For a great vibe a Tweed Deluxe or any tweed or Blackface circuit with a solid pine cabinet will shake things up. For ought right volume a Musicman amp from the 70s, or a Mess Boogie will cause hearing loss.
