It's still pretty interesting, even if I wouldn't call it science.

This system runs stereo. Each side has a custom Acme B1W 10" subwoofer and an Acme B1 Series III 10"+mid+tweeter.
And for Rock/Blues, etc with the 4's: Schroeder PL212 w/Schroeder PL15.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: Treasure Coast, Florida | | | My rig is the Eden Metro which is a combo with 2 X 10 and the XLT-410 extention cab. So that adds up to 6 X 10 for me. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2004 Location: Los Angeles, CA | | | 2 - 112 cabs (custom with 3012 HOs) and a Walter Woods Ultra. I had previously used a pair of 210 cabs for many years, but this smaller and lighter rig is cutting it just fine! |

|  | Sometimes it's one more note than what was needed! | | | | | A single 4X10 For jazz gigs and 2@ 4X10 for the rock gigs. Eden david series, DNA and Avatar.
I used 15's as a kid, but a 4X10 moves more air than 2X15's can and also has more punch because the speaker travels faster. I'm actually amazed at how many players use 15's. I thought they had gone by the wayside.
A 2X12 is also a nice cabinet.
I also usually use 2 preamps through a single crown power amp. one for passive and fretless and the other for active 4 and 5 string. 2 to 4 basses come with me to every show depending on the gig.

I guess you have not played through the new line of Super 15's  my fEARful 15/6/1 Kills my 410 in every way, Both in punch,clarity,lowend, volume and air it moves.....who ever said a 115 cant be punchy has never played through the new Generation super 15 cabs!

Nice to have options.
