    Best Class D Head to use just as a power amp?

    I've had good luck running a preamp into the back of various Mesa Subway amps, that whole family of products has been very reliable. Also some GK MB series amps worked pretty well but eventually I just hopped on a sale price for rack/Crown XLS 2502 scenario. With the Subway, Genzler and Berg...

    Vocal monitor on top just FYI. Mesa Subway preamp /Crown XLS 2502/GK Neo IV cabs/Sadowsky Metro Express M5. One of my favorite venues in San Diego county to play, The Coyote Bar in Carlsbad. Always a packed avenue with lost of people really into dancing inappropriately. Good times.

    Score! Clean SWR Bigfoot-2 cab.....Bag End drivers toast. Recone or ???

    Thats great hope that works out for you. I did an outdoor gig with mine a few days ago and found the power limit with the drivers I put in there. Due to the size of the box the power handling goes down and I started clipping and had to back off. But it's a nice fat cabinet if I dont need to push...

    Subway+ Bass DI-Preamp II

    The re-design with the aux in jack and smaller footprint sold me. Up till now been using the larger Subway + pedal and also the Magellan Bass Pre. Getting the higher output with 18v power is another advantage. Along with a Crown XLS 2502 my rig is just killing it on outdoor stages. What an...

    Eden D210T Speaker Swap?

    For sure I've had good luck with them in the past.

    Eden D210T Speaker Swap?

    The original speakers were destroyed due to misuse by previous owner. The factory drivers were only 125 watts though and I need at least 500 watt rating. The CA 1059 appears to be a match for this cabinet.

    Eden D210T Speaker Swap?

    The CA 1059 seems to be the best candidate based on some reading.

    Eden D210T Speaker Swap?

    Wow this thread is old! Just the same I thought I'd hop on in the hopes someone might have some comments on their experiences finding a suitable replacement 10" driver for the 90's Eden D210T cabinet? I recently acquired one with blown drivers on the super cheap (tweeter is fine) and I...

    Any feedback on DiCosimo Audio 800RB Bass Preamp Pedal?

    Will this pedal drive the input of a power amplifier and what should the input sensitivity spec of the power amp be optimally? Thanks.

    Information on very early SWR Redhead amps wanted.

    I have that same capacitor lying in a parts bin, anyone know what frequency this supposedly rolls off at? I believe it came from a Triad cabinet and possibly in series? with the 10"?
