Members i_wanna_les_paul Posted October 25, 2005 Members Share Posted October 25, 2005 It's just to piss you off... But really, ToJam hit it on the head - providing the correct volume for the speakers to have proper volume makes the cabs a lot bigger and heavier. Even the magnets on bass speakers will be heavier, as does the added wood to make the cab bigger. It's that darn physics stuff again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
