Members LAbass Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 i'm wishing for quite long time to try how 4x12 would sound in our rehersal space...i use now 2x4x10 and for gig i take only 1 4x10, but if i buy 4x12 i wouldn't have excuse to take only one 4x10:p so i have good offer for aguilar gs412 that i think would be quite good match with db359(i think that this cabinet is more efficient than my sunn and kettner 4x10...). any happy users of this cab here?

Members RSBro Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'd love to have a GS412 one day with a DB750. I'm not sure what cab you have now as I'm unfamiliar, but the GS412 is from most accounts very easy to move and light for as big a cab as it is.

Members guitargod0dmw Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 A DB-359 only pumps out 200w...the GS412 is a 1200w cab! That's a rather huge difference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a rather huge difference... thats right, but it's sensitivity is 101dB(i'm sure tahat sunn and kettnere has for sure much less)...that will help to 359 keeping contact with whole band...as said in other post; i love sound of it but i would need like to have some more HP:) of course i would love to use it also with my sunn head;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bnyswonger Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 I played my SVT through that aggie cab and was mightily impressed. It's one the few modern cabs I could see using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you've been around here long enough to know that those numbers have little to no value in determining whether the amp and cabinet would be a good match. A 4x12 is a monstrosity, but I like the Aguilar cabinets quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their footprint is surprisingly small for how big it sounds. More like a 610 than an 810. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True...I guess I still have a little old school thought sometimes. I'd like to see them matched up a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to see required volume and available volume matched up to make sure a rig fits a players needs. Those numbers tell you nothing about those characteristics.

Members RSBro Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 You can have the smaller brother if you want... I just thought it was cool to have a 400W all tube power amp, like Mesa used to do with some of their stuff, and run a Triaxis or something in front of it.

Members RSBro Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 My hernia tore just a little more when I read that. The worst I had was a Mesa Diesel 610.... Used it for a gig. I think was in the 165-ish range. The 810 Road Ready Diesels have GOT to be 220, 225 easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 810 Road Ready Diesels have GOT to be 220, 225 easy. I have no idea about the cab in question, but at least the 610 and 810 RR and Diesels have tilt wheels and sliders. Getting my RR 410 up and down stairs makes me want to sob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GS412 is actually very easy to move around for it's size and weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JacieFB Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 The old ones didn't.... Oh, yeah. You're right about that. Actually, the newer style didn't initially, either. Almost makes an Ampeg fridge seem like a good choice if you really have to move some air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members REMUS Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 If you're asking the question, then no you don't need it. Not many people *need* a 4x12/8x10/2x15...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
