My .5 Aligned Sealed 610 Build

Has there ever been any kind of consensus on TB about whether or not this would be bad for an all tube SVT set to 4 ohms?

3 highpassed, 3 fullrange. I'd highpass a mod10 at around 200hz with a single order highpass, an in line capacitor (don't remember which value) but I'd use a 16 ohm mod10 to keep up with 5 b810's. The mod would need to be in it's own driver. The webers aren't really brighter, just voiced alittle differently. Or just go with 6 B810's. I just like the added clarity of the guitar drivers. Each guitar driver has it's own character and will greatly change the sound of the cab so, keep that in mind. The 3 I listed are all pretty good though, just different.

The cab behaves as a nominal 5.3 ohm load but impedance varies somewhat with frequency for all cabs. I'd think it would be within tolerance for an all tube SVT but I'd check with tech support or someone in the know on this to be sure.

On using a guitar driver; I think it is high passed in its own subenclosure. Great mids and highs but doesn't contribute much to the bass response because it won't handle the power down low. I really dig my cab but five B810's and a Celestion guitar driver also sound like a very good mix and might be your best option with your existing four B810's. 3 low passed on one side, 2 full range and the guitar driver high passed on the other side. This could be done with a 2-way crossover for the top horizontal pair and a low pass filter for the lower two on the .5 side. Kringle77 could give you more details - definitely have the .5 switchable. Two different voicings adds flexibility. The lightweight 610 is a good form factor and makes a good DIY build.

edit: Chris you beat me to the enter key...

I think I'd probably start with the 4 B810 + 2 Weber and go from there if it's not to my taste. Even building the box will be good experience for me, so can't really go wrong with any starting point here.

As far as my tone goes, I usually don't keep much of anything above 4-5k anyway.

Yeah, you could do what 5string said with a regular 500hz two way crossover (for the cab with a guitar driver). You may want to just go with the 2 webers. They go well with the b810's. Definitely a good cab and I agree, the 6x10 is a good form factor to roll around.

Isn't the Jensen MOD 10 supposed to be a brighter "drop in" replacement for an SVT cab? or would you high pass that as well?

EDIT, I see Kringles comment on the MOD 10 above. Apparently you can't delete posts from the new mobile app?
