Members Germinator Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 So I was thinking of picking up one of these ashdown superfly's as they are discontinued and super cheap, can anybody recommend two 4-ohm 250 watt cabs for a small stack to go with this? I emailed the guy at lowdown sound thinking I could get some sweet 8"s to use with it but got no reply. Anybody try one of these out? I have heard mostly great things about ashdown. Also anybody know where to get a cheap compatible midi-board for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireball_73 Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Discontinued? When? *Goes to check Ashdown's site* Nope - it is still there! I'm going to guess you will be reccomended avatar cabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireball_73 Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 I've checked the discontinued section - along with my EB model there is ONE superfly model that has been discontinued. current superfly range (Including a new combo) discontinued superfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Germinator Posted February 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 Ok so I was a little off. Do the new models put out 500 watts in one channel? Seems that would match perfect with an avatar 2x12. However I dont see anywhere to purchase the new models, and how much are they? I dont think the old models (349-400$) would have enough headroom only putting 250 watts in a 500 watt cab though and most the smaller avatar cabs are 500 watts.

Members squish_man24 Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 The new models are not for sale yet, as they were jsut released at the NAMM 2007 show. They should be realeased soon though. I am also looking for one of their newer amps they just released, but they aren't out yet.

Members 999laci Posted June 25, 2007 Members Share Posted June 25, 2007 Yeh I've got a Markbass T102 (4 ohm 400W) for the superfly. The gear is under 20kg(cab-15kg,superfly-4.5kg without the covers of course)... Not bad for a 250W gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hunter6 Posted July 1, 2007 Members Share Posted July 1, 2007 Damn, if these things are priced well, I'd definitely consider a 1x15 and one of them 2x8 cabs, that'd probably be a killer rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rovito Posted July 4, 2007 Members Share Posted July 4, 2007 Thinking about splitting my 410 mag cab to stereo and running a Superfly through each side. Not sure how well the two tens on each side will handle 250 watts. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rovito Posted July 5, 2007 Members Share Posted July 5, 2007 If I split the cab into two 4ohms loads I could run each half of the Superfly into each half of the Mag cab. One 250watt power section into two of the "10"s and the other 250watt power section into the other two of the "10"s. Not true stereo but 500 watts into one 4 "10" cab. My only concern is will each pair of those speakers handle 250 watts? The cab claims it can handle 450 watts but each speaker only says 80 watts each. I have been dumping 360 watts into it for awhile with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you cab is 450W RMS and not 450W peak?Is the driver in the cab 8ohm or 16ohm?

Members rovito Posted July 7, 2007 Members Share Posted July 7, 2007 You got me thinking about true stereo now. I could buy two Superfly heads and run them in true stereo for under $600.00. 1000 watts into two 410 cabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
