How difficult would it be to make a Firebird f-500, Kicker k-500, Palomar skipper 500, 1 6lq6 driving 3 into a "high drive" straight 4-6lq6 amp?

Firebird f-500 mod

I posted this question about a year or two ago. The consensus was that although it can be done, the gain that you would realize (< 30 watts, IIRC) wasn't worth the effort.
With decent tubes that amp will cruise along all day long at 350 or so. Yes it will do 500+ if you drive the snot out of it, but it won't sound good and you will burn through those tubes a LOT faster.

Thanks for the input. I've been running it low 100w dk and driving it up to 300w or so. This one also has the variable power.
