i've seen plenty of 15" in hatchbacks and truck systems and up to 36" in pure decibel driven competitions but the larger you go the more it distorts as you drive it. 10's are always preferable when you're looking for tight cleanly driven bass and most car audio nuts who want a lot of bass but a...

i just picked up an ampeg svp 1500 solid state poweramp a few months ago and threw it on the PA to run the mains. it's incredible and got it for $200 used at guitar center. it's only like 20-30lbs id say, and was designed to run an 8x10 cab bridged mono @ 4ohms around 1200w. thing is rock solid...

it's just an intel pc running amplitube for the new gen who like modeling instead of hooking a pc with amplitube to a decent speaker setup. my guitarist does the same thing for screwing around to practice at home or record tracks with different sounds for a goof.

nope, that's exactly correct. i didn't mind losing the versatility of being able to stack them to 4ohm or single to 8ohm so i wired mine into a 2x15 cabinet @ 16ohm and it's dedicated to the b-25b

my hat's off to you sir, well played! my svt/2x810av rig seems smaller and smaller lol

larger speaker diameter = greater chance of speaker distortion the ampeg setup with alternating speaker excursion and 10" drivers produces a much more powerful sound without breaking up and moves as much or more air than larger speaker setups while being punchier and still heavily bass driven...

i've done this to make sure i wanted my ric, and that the 810av cabs sounded like my vintage or a modern 810 cab on my magnavox svt. however, having had the same behringer head and cabinet he has i can guarantee you those are killing him. they don't sound awful if it's all you're playing but...

nice! my magnavox svt sits at bass at 3/6, mids at 4/6, treble at 5/6, and all the switches are off though sometimes i'll kick the bass switch to the middle position if it's a big stage or a weaker output instrument. never had a problem cutting the mix or being distinct from either guitar...

yeah, you'll get bias from anyone who actually plays bass due to personal preference and various tonal characteristics from different components of your rig. 18's are good if you need fat low bass, 15's go well if you want a punchier low end and some of that low bass. 10's have the best...

i haven't used the aguilar cabs but any 810 and an svt is going to be loud and with the proper bass/eq definitely cut the mix. good call on the tbird pro, i just picked one up myself and am very impressed by it. it's becoming one of my staples for home practice lol you might even wanna try...

when i was broke and just started back into playing again i picked up a behringer rig, it burnt square out on me and blew 3 cabinets. i ended up getting rid of it and got an ampeg b2r with two svt classic 15's (which now reside in a 2x15 cabinet under my 70's b-25b) and it was a killer rig! the...

it's definitely not of poor quality in the least, it just let a bad taste in my mouth when they were originally usa production units then went to vietnam and were still the same price. i have two 810AV cabinets made in vietnam under my vintage svt and they sound fantastic so i'm not knocking...

you're my hero john lol. i've used my buddy's 100w 800, 100w dsl, and 50w jmp and they sounded awesome, but i'd love to plug into a major =D

lemmy played a 100w superbass, which is more than loud enough for most applications the vba400 is going to have much more headroom and a cleaner/louder sound more akin to an svt than the grit of a superbass. the downside to the 400 is they're notorious for catching on fire if you want a lot of...

+1 the voicing of the speakers and their efficiency make a huge difference in how the amp sounds.
