Why are some considered "Bad", like the 1x15 - 4x10 setup? Why do people say not to mix cab sizes? |

Not to be too much of a smartass but it's all in the sticky above there ^^ as well as several threads. If you still don't get it, come back and ask about what you don't understand. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Harrisburg PA | | | it takes a different amount of power to push the 1x15 than it does the 4x10, basicly you'd be overpowering one cab to get the other to the volume you want it at. also, the different sizes dont do better (or worse) jobs of producing lower (or higher) frequencies, its all about how much air a cab moves
that being said, play what you want. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2009 Location: Central CA Coast | | the frightening thing to me is that EV actually published DIY plans for these things. IIRC it was a big old sealed box. And I think they may have actually marketed a home version of this thing called the "Emperor" or something like that back in maybe the 60s/early 70s
