Flying with an amp

[Turfpirate]

Soon I'll be flying up to get my amp and subs, I mean see my family yeah that's it. I'd like to carry the amp back on the plane but I'm worried about the TSA.

Has anyone flown with an amp in your luggage?

This may not be a problem but I could see how it might be.

I don't see why it would be a problem as long as its in your checked baggage. Just pack the hell out of it. I mean you can put firearms in your checked luggage and fly within the states.

Done it lots of times. Never had a problem. Checked and carry on.

Thanks guys Was afraid they may think its a bomb or something. Amps are ok toothpaste and shampoo no good

I flew with a country ham in carry on before. They have specific things they look for. The worst they would do ids savvy the amp to check for explosives which should turn out fine depending on the brand of course

It's a 2nd gen 225 HCCA Not explosive I assume But for a 50 watt amp it makes an explosive amount of bass.
