    Genz Benz GB 18B with JBL E155-4?

    Just so we're clear, I won't be trying to mod the acoustic 406 should I decide to pick it up in the future* Upgrade to drivers with better power handling? Possibly. But won't be looking to modify the cabinet, as it's my understanding that it's not nearly as straightforward as adding ports to...

    Genz Benz GB 18B with JBL E155-4?

    Unfortunately I'm pretty broke at the moment, so I have been chasing rainbows. Vet bills wiped me out last month, catching up as we speak. Have opportunity to trade up for the acoustic, which is why I'm inquiring about it. Even if I have to put it on the back burner like the old TE red stripe...

    Genz Benz GB 18B with JBL E155-4?

    I'm aware of the loss of sensitivity, but I was unaware of it being a notable difference in overall output when comparing a single 4 ohm driver to an 8 ohm driver. I figured the additional power available for the four ohm load would more than make up for it. Now a combination of 8 or 16 ohm...

    Genz Benz GB 18B with JBL E155-4?

    Not looking to do that. looking to get the most of both 300 watt channels by pairing w cabinets that are four ohms each. Unless the cabinets are hella efficient, the TE head (from past experiences) struggles with achieving the volume I need to compete with obnoxious guitarists with their 100...

    Dust cap is dimpled from where his wife bumped it with a mop. What appears to be a crease in the cone is a superficial water stain from said mop. That driver was bottom left corner. Cones are rigid, firm. Oddly enough, the spiders appear to perfect. Something tells me someone tried to glue...

    Appreciate all the great responses. My concern was the 8 ohm load. MyvTrace Elliott AH600SMX really shines on 4 ohm loads per channel I'll try it with the original driver. So far, my workingman's 210 with eminence Basslites in it is 8 ohms, and it sounds great w the TE Head. I was concerned...

    Even my amps are obnoxiously heavy. Trace Elliot AH600SMX, and an even heavier Ashdown ABM1200 Evo IV. Absurd, and while purely anecdotal, I prefer the weighted gear over the "micros". Played through plenty of that stuff and it just doesn't do it for me.

    I use a heavy duty hand truck with ratcheting straps. Unfortunately all the cabinets I fancy and tone I'm after involve heavy equipment. I'm a young 53, my back can handle it. Thanks for the heads up tho ❤️

    Also, any recommendations on best bang for buck 4 ohm driver that would be right at home in that cab, including any tweaks to ports that would extend low end response to accommodate? I don't want/need clarity, I seriously fat effortless low end. I have cabinets for voicing/clarity to stack on...

    I just want to ad I just want to add. I concede that the 410HLF was a mistake. I usually scrutinize every bit of used equipment I'm looking to purchase by thoroughly inspecting everything with a fine tooth comb and magnifying glass. Because of sellers reputation and my friendship with his...

    I prefer vintage tone, but I like a really full authoritative low A or B

    Genz Benz GB 18B with JBL E155-4?

    Will the combo work well for 5 string reinforcement? I have a pair of two channel amps, I'm considering this for my low A and B duty, topped with something for "voicing". I can't find any info on the GB cab (internal volume, port length etc) so I'm unable to make the determination for myself...
