Members macgaj3 Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Best to consider it as a 4x12 and 2x12. Mine had an X pattern of vet30s and et65s on the bottom 2/3 and two reapers up to. Sounded badass. Was too heavy. Happier with my dual os2x12s now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kombi1976 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm thinking of putting wheels on it like a Ampeg 8x10. Y'know, you rock it back & wheel it away. I can't see that it will affect the internal acoustics. It's so big anyway. Dolf, how did you manage to get 6 speakers to add up to 8 ohms?

Would have MASSIVE sound but it would make a 6x12 look like a matchbox. A bit like Lemmy Kilminster's bass rig. Marshall valve head, 4x12 and 4x15!!!

Hated moving it. what would you estimate total cost without speakers? it seems that everyone thinks they can build cabs cheap, but the companies that do it professionally pass the savings of having all of the special tools, jigs, and experience on through their prices, even if it seems (and if said this many times) complete {censored}ing stupid to pay that much for a wooden box.still, im kind of thinking about doing a 112 or 212 just to do it. though when done, im not sure whether i will be proud i did it or pissed i didnt just get an aftershock/orange/avatar/etc. from a financial standpoint.

That's pretty much a bass cab though, isn't it?For that matter, so is a 1x15/2x10.I do like Randall's RS125XL with the 2 Vintage 30s & the single Eminence Legend 15" but they're asking AUD$1199 here in Oz.

Well, yeah, so? It works for certain styles. Slamming a fuzz pedal through 150 watts of 1970s solid state goodness is one of those styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thenakedarab Posted January 3, 2013 Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 Have you thought about putting an open back 2x12 on top of a 4x12. You get the punch from the 4x12, and putting the open back cab up high increases the spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
