Hi guys,
I'm thinking of picking up a single used Aguilar DB112 and getting a TH500 to go with it. Not sure if it'll be enough though? The band I'm playing with isn't real loud, and I'll always have front how house support, so it's really only for a little bit of stage volume. What do you guys think? Enough or should I be looking at more speakers or a 4 ohm cab?

The TH500 would be putting out 250 watts with the one cab, and if you find that isn't enough, you can always just pick up a second to get the full 500
If you'd rather a single cab, you could look into the 4 ohm DB212, which is 600W RMS, then you'd be getting the full 500 from the head!

I'm really hoping to downsize from my 410 but looking for a different/IMO better sound than I'm getting from my Ashdown. Guess the main thing is that it's loud enough to hear over our drummer.
Getting a second 112 down the track would be ideal but it could be a while before I have the cash.

I found that a single cab was good enough for about 90% of situations - even gigs without a PA. That said - I'd rather a rig that is capable of 100% of situations - which is why the 2 x 112 cab solution is so damn cool. Take 2 when you need it, 1 when you don't. The DB112's are crazy loud - probably more so than a GS112 as it has a fuller mid presence.
What's your band? Could be one of my cabs you're looking at? |

I don't know anything about the amp but the cab can definitely do it. |

Ryan.

| | | I use a 38 pound Schroeder 1212bBMF cabinet ( 4 ohm 212) and it is one killer loud cab with an insanely light weight for the volume and punch it puts out. Easy to carry in one hand and its closer to your ears when playing. I think it would be crazy to not consider one of the newer lightweight 212 offerings out there.
