I'm all about saving weight, but with 1/2" birch the loaded 15/6 (at least for me) can be lifted with one hand and carried. Is there really a good reason to make it lighter? Or is it more of a "just because I can" thing?

I'll get flamed or laughed at, but I wish I had never gotten rid of my Peavey T40. That thing, no matter what the snobs say, sounded and played great. They are cheap enough now, but I've been spending all my money on the rig, not the bass. Soon, though, I will replace it and hope the one I get...

Here is FACT... There are TWO manufacturers (root manufacturers, not re-branding) of 3PDT switches, which is what EHX and ALL manufacturers of true bypass pedals use (at least the ones who don't use relays). There are multiple brands, but all are manufactured in the same Chinese factory...

the 6nd410 is actually one of the mid drivers the cabs were designed for, the alpha 6a is just a very affordable alternative with close enough specs to keep the design. with the 6nd410, you just have to reduce the area within the chamber.

sound dampening material specially made for cabinets (like the kind blt sounds sells) is purpose made and will out perform fiberglass insulation hands down. but, i do agree that fiberglass dangers in such small quantities are not as harmful or risky as people let on.

This is the EXACT attitude ALL musicians should have for their entire life, by the way, no matter how big, famous, or successful they get. No gig is too small to take seriously, and that will set you apart from the millions of other arrogant musicians that think location played = talent of...

yeah, if you read through the threads, i believe you will find that the fearful cab is going to blow away your dr. bass, you won't be cranking the fearful more than the dr. bass.

You can always try the low pass section of the 15/6 crossover, that's what I'm about to do. The 12sub has the same part values as the 12/6 low pass, so i figure it ought to work out.

very true. :)

Just starting the new thread for everyone! Mod edit: continued from: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=612174 last post : http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=612174&page=51

I did the same on my 12/6, turns out my circular saw went screwy on me during a cross cut, and my baffle wasn't as square as it should be. Had to shim the gap with some plywood slivers, puttied it over, and painted. Once I got the diamond grate grill on, you don't even notice. Fortunately, I...

check the wiki, there are a bunch of GB designed crossovers on there.

did you get rid of the port or something?

I would think simply adding a small hollow box, maybe 3" wide, on each side of the design that is isolated from the main interior of the cabinet would solve your problem... you could simply extend the dimensions of the top side of the box by 3" on either side, then place another wall flush with...

or if anyone wants to trade, i accidentally ended up ordering a 3015LF, and i want to finish my 12/6 before i build my 15sub, so if someone wants to oreder a 3012LF I'll swap you out. preferrably in Nashville area so we can do pickup, but we can ship if someone is interested.
