Are Fearful Cabs for me?!?!

[pablomigraine]

Please, do not respond with: "do a search". Im too lazy and have too short an attention span to sort thru dozens of threads.....

So, many people who's opinions I respect say these are the love love. Are there any models available that are VERY LARGE FORMAT and have good treble extension without a tweeter? Im looking for something that will be at least as "loud" as a sealed 810 or a ported 610. And punch you in the face tight.

Gurus? Fans? Owners? Builders? Your insights please!!

How nice for you that you have so far been successful at getting other people to do your work for you without having to pay them. It is possible, though unlikely, that you will be able to continue to do so for however much or little is left of your life. Good luck with that.

As for me, I find that my goodwill toward other people and institutions is directly proportional to how much they respect the value of my time.

+1.......................oh and do a search!

Do a search

[ronaldpdbrandt]

Go to the fEARful site (the link's in my signature), and look at the options. Yes, they go big (15/15/6), but you can also make a couple 15/6s instead, for versatility. You might think that two 15s and a 6 would not get as loud as an 810, but you'd be thinking wrong. The speakers used and their placement in the cab design are what make them work so well. My little 12/6 kicks the crap out of cabs that are much bigger and heavier. The sonic range is remarkable, too.

However, if you're too lazy to look around the forums a bit, I don't see you putting in the effort to buy everything you need and build your own cab. If you're willing to fork over more dough, then look to one of the authorized fEARful builders, also at the link below.

Tough room.

[Immigrant]

Yes, buy many of them.

It's too bad cabinet manufacturers don't make cabinets with tweeters that can be turned down, like with a knob or something, or maybe even turned off via pushbutton.

You'll probably find the 6" mid or mids plenty enough high end, as most of us do...but if you really want the upper ranges, don't be afraid of the 1" tweeter. It's not the same cheap ass tweet that comes on most cabs...this is the real deal and with a wave guide its a hell of a lot smoother than the 'standard' you're used to hearing.

[rpsands]

Depends on how much juice you have pushing. It'd take a pair of the 15s to be as sensitive as an SVT 8x10, but one 15/6 can get as much <100hz energy as an SVT8x10.

Whether it's as punchy depends on your eq skillz, rig, bass, etc.

I suggest you try one. Doubt you're going to know without trying one.

lol....if only there were 12 or 13 mega threads or even a forum <completely> devoted to the cab...
of course there are people who are always willing to type

As someone who has tried most cabs out there I can say that I have the components for a 15/6/1, and as soon as I have time I will be building my cab and crossover. Time is a littel tight though with a 5 week old baby girl in the house

No doubt! Congratulations, bro!

You're a funny cat. You pop into my thread, type a response, wherein, having made all types of incredibly intelligent assumptions, imply that I have somehow disrespected you personally and wasted your time.... for ....you know, forcing you to drop in and type a response....

If cruising talkbass for you is "work" that I am making you do for me, I will respond in kind and make the radical assumption that you are a very unhappy person, and probably feel its your laborious duty to come on here and correct dolts like myself for being such bad people. Come to think of it, I could type the next 6 pages worth of assumptions and postulations (probably as accurate as yours of me) about what delightfully prurient emotional and psychological abnormalities might exist in a person who would pop into a thread just type a post of that nature..... or, taking a cue from your skillful post I could use obscure language without pronouns to cleverly take shots at that person... like saying that one shudders to think that some guys may enjoy wearing their Wive's underthings occasionally.... but being the helpful sort I will endevour to assist you in your mission to condescend and educate the wayward.. PM me tomorrow and I will send you links of every single "best bass for metal", "how many watts is enough" and "Ampeg Vs. GK" thread on talkbass, so you can similarly educate all the authors as you have me on how disrespectful and lacking good will they are for having asked those types of questions in the first place.... when so much info is already available on those topics in other threads.......and with such intelligent insights too!! I would never have known how I was completely disrespecting every member of talkbass on an individual basis, along with Fearful, and everyone who uses them if you hadn't told me! And a nice life lesson to bookend the whole thing.... your generosity will be remembered! Amazing!
Here's a challenge: write and even more condescending response to this post, with even MORE thinly veiled personal statements! Don't be shy... go ahead and outdo yourself!

And speaking my success at getting other people to do my work for me... why not bop over to one of my recent review threads... man that was long and hard work just for the benefit of others.... shame it was the ONE TIME I couldn't connive some poor shmuck into doing it for me!

Wait... I take all that back.... since you were so nice to give me a little life lesson I will give you one, since you're new here.... nothing nice to say? Don't care to say anything relevant to OP's statement or don't care to share something relevant to OP's question? Think OP is a jerk? .....move yourself on to another thread.... if you wanna be using that highroad talk to take shots at questions that may appear ill at first glance on TB... you're gonna be a busy busy fella and get yourself banned before you're even part way through....

Thanks very much! I'm in the car (or was at time of original post) on a long, 6-hour drive today and wanted to take a quick glance at these without searching the megathreads to see if these were available in larger formats.... I really know very little about them, what the model numbers indicate etc, and my only internet access for the afternoon / evening was my droid...Link and input much appreciated!

If you havent gotten the gist by now, the lazy comment was a bit of fun on my part. I put in every inch of plumbing in my house, but carpentry escapes me.... if I went with one of these I would have an authorized builder do it.... Thanks for the only even slightly helpful response so far.... I will have to learn to be more careful it seems when looking for a quick answer to a quick question.... and I will seemingly need to learn to be a bit more somber.....

Clearly..... it would seem for me to be part of the club I will need to be both ruder and dumber than I am, consider talkbass work, and find a way to tell you you've disrespected me and wasted my time by forcing me to write this response....

So Jimmy.... Im gonna try and reboot my thread here and leave out all the lighthearted stuff. Here we go:

Say Jimmy.... Im in the car right now and have a quick question.... these here Fearful cabs... do they come big? Like how big?

/threadredo

[Stumbo]

Here's what you need15/6,15 sub)

fEARful™ Part Twelve (12)

1515/66 is the biggest. Cut to the chase and get two and budget for at least 1000 watts per cab.

The 6s handle distortion really well and go plenty high for your wants. You need one per 15 for max aggressiveness, IME.

I'll PM you tomorrow with some other thoughts Paul.

I am going this same route too. I just know that if I try it myself, I'll mess up the cab somehow and end up paying just as much as if I paid for a professionally built one.

Hat's off to the home DIYers, because I am too timid!

Thanks very much Charlie. As much as Id like to tell myself that I need a project and Id build this myself... I can't frame a cat-door. I'll drywall and tape your whole house up... but I just can't mess with carpentry.
