LDS 6x10 or another company.

[PDK]

What I'm looking for is a 6x10 that will handle a 5 string for hard rock but also have a good modern sound. I've looked at the Epifani UL,Berg NV, GB XB2 and now I'm thinking about LDS. Does anyone know if there is a warranty with LDS?
From a price perspective LDS wins hands down. Also does anybody have suggestions on what speakers to pick?

[PDK]

anybody?

I'd personally go with LDS - the obvious reason is price savings and supporting a small mfr. I would also send Don an email and ask his advice on which speakers you need based on your playing style, etc. I've emailed him a few times about various cabinets and he knows his stuff. It might take a day for him to get back to you, so email him asap. Just my $.02 You may even find that all you need is a pair of 210s or one 410.

Thanks

What're your tone goals precisely? I can't think of many reasons to go with the 6x10 formfactor these days.

What amp you're using is a big factor, how you eq it, and whether you tend toward a huge bottom end or not, etc.

I have an LDS 610,sealed,with Eminence Betas in it. It was supposed to replicate an SVT,but sounds a bit different then I wanted. It is working out very nicely though. great cab,and Don is very helpful in getting you what you need.

I would power it with a GB shuttle 9.0. I'm looking for something that's versatile. I play a wide range of music from Hard rock,funk,pop,blues ect. I do slap some but most of the time I play with my fingers. I like upper mids alot.

[rpsands]

With that much power, a fEarful 1515/66 would get you all the upper mids you could imagine as well as earthshaking lows. That's how I'd roll. LDS has built a few. Also, there are a number of other builders in the fearful wiki. If you want flexible with a 5-string, I don't think I would suggest a 6x10 of any sort.

[PDK]

anybody else?

[afroman]

I would get and LDS, but the waiting time right now I think is like 3 months. I'd recommend the BergNV610 cause I've always wanted one.

You also might want to check out some of the new 2x12's. Here's one that handles 900w RMS: http://lophatcabinets.com/about-our-...s.php?action=2 (scroll to bottom of page).

My cousin has a GB XB2 6x10 and it handles a 5 string very well and he drop tunes a whole step.

[Mo'Phat]

Sure there are 6x10's that can handle the 5 string well...but there are certainly better speaker configurations that are optimized for the lower register.
