I read alot of post on here and have found another common post on here that doesnt make sense to me.2x10 dont move enough air.So can anyone help me with this?I know cone shape affects surface area but for simple math a 2x10 is 156 sr inchs a single 12 is only 113 sr inchs.Dont see 12s getting knocked much.Also 2x10s are only 20 sr inchs smaller than a single 15 but yet a 15 is almost standered out side of the 4x10. So can any one fill me in on this?

From what I've read, the way the cab was made has as much to do with the cab's tone as the size of speakers.

Many 2x10 designs use low xmax drivers stuffed into tiny boxes. This can be attributed to why some 2x10's are shy on bass. You have to take cabinets on a case by case basis, most of the blanket statements about cabinets based on driver size are incorrect or misinformation. |

Other than the Ampeg Micro VR, I never liked just a 2x10 cab.
Weak, lack depth. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Phoenix, AZ | | | I sold my Genz Benz 410 and replaced it with an older Peavey TVX210. In my opinion, the 210 is a touch louder, and IMO it has more 'presence'. Not a scientific measurement, but just using my two ears.
I don't know if it's because the 210 is 4 ohms and the 410 was 8 ohms, but that makes my amp putting out higher wattage (300 vs 175). FWIW, I asked that question before here and it was unanimous that the 410 would move more air regardless of the wattage difference. But as I said, my ears do not confirm this. No matter... I'm happy with my 210, and I certainly don't feel I've lost anything by going to the smaller setup. YMMV.
