Fearful thread part 15 (/6?)

[RNV]

If anyone needs extra biscuit, let me know. I bought a tub of them and have like 80 of them left. Cover the shipping and I'll mail you the whole damn tub.

That is my favorite configuration, though. The dimensions, overall size, and overall performance of the 12/6cube/1 just equals "win" in my book.

Yeah, the cubes have some head scratching moments. Worth it to get the flexible form.

[Interceptor]

I built a cube a couple years back. In the early days when one had to do their own cut sheet.

It is a fun puzzle. Arguably the best form factor out there. Nice balance for the schlep, looks good under a rack bagged head and is able to be run very hard with out worry.

After living with the 12/6 cube together with a Thunderfunk for two years, I'm GAS free.

Where can I find more information about these "fearless" cabs I keep hearing about? There doesn't appear to be any information about them on the GreenBoy website, just fEARful stuff.

Are they pro-build only?

[OtisRocks]

Fearless cabs are listed here: http://greenboy.us/cabs/

They are built by the authorized builders listed here: http://greenboy.us/

Good luck in your search, lots of info about them on the greenboy forum.

Thanks, I guess I was stuck on the fEARful side of the site, http://greenboy.us/fEARful...

I figured they were authorized builds only. I'm pretty sure I won't do the DIY project anyway, as I have very little free time. Too bad there are no builders in the Pacific NW region.

Ya, I think the closest to you is in AZ (not close at all). Fortunately shipping isn't too bad. We have a common account that helps us keep costs down.

Brilliant idea.

Ya, it's allowed me to ship to the 4 corners of the country for surprisingly reasonable rates.

One thing about the fEARful crowd that I enjoy is the sense of community. Builders refer people to other builders, people with cabinets offer them up for other people to try out, information is freely given. If nothing else, it's a very cool way to operate.

That's what got me into it, for sure.

Maybe I will ride the motorcycle up this year and drop by for a listen?

I have enough headaches in my life.

Maybe it is not what got me into it, but it sure is what has kept me in.

You're welcome.

Frank was up here again today to pick up his preamp from the latest round of mods, and he brought back his 15/6/1 again to test out - the initial woofer was just replaced by Eminence due to a manufacturer's defect. This one sounded much better, but it appears that there is yet another issue with the replacement. Hopefully Eminence isn't slacking in their QC. Regardless, the cab sounded very, very good and I got the opportunity to crank it up more and really test out its low end capability. I had a blast playing with the bass cranked way up and slamming cords all over the neck - everything stays very clear and articulate like a massive piano. Also got some great old school sounds dialing the treble back a notch and cranking the low and high mids. The video didn't really capture the massiveness but it might give a general idea.

http://youtu.be/hi1-vtGPIRY Frank, I just noticed that I kept calling you Ken in the video - sorry!

Also took a sweep of the impedance curve just for fun.

[kringle77]

I actually had a new pair of non-lf 3015 drivers that made a wierd noise and I had to send them back to have the surrounds re-glued. Bullet proof after that.

[JGR]

Yeah, and not to speak for Frank, but he told me about the great CS he received from Eminence the first go round, so I'm sure they will help him get this sorted as well.

Big +1, there.
