Vertical stacking (and the benefits of it dispersion wise) refers to stacking your cabinets in a way that arranges the loudspeaker drivers in a vertical line. With two identical 1x12 cabinets on top of each other the drivers will always be vertical, to have a horizontal configuration (worse...

Can you get any serious overdrive/distortion when you crank the "tube gain" knob?

I've used both, and both are good cabs considering the low cost. However, they are budget cabs and they don't compare to more expensive ones. The Ashdown is made of chipboard and the Marshall is MDF. I like the sound of the Ashdown better, but that's just personal preferences, you might like the...

Thanks, that seems simple enough. What would happen if I tried to run the second crossover with high-pass section still intact?

I've got a question about the crossover for the 12/12/6 which I'm considering. I don't want to build my own crossover. If I go for the Eminence PXB2:800, I guess I can't connect both the woofers to the same crossover because of them together being 4 ohm, and not 8 ohm as the crossover is...

Interesting with the SPL discussions. I'm also considering building a fEarful 15/6, seems like a great design, but I've gone throught the threads and can't remember any SPL charts for it, it would be interesting to compare it to a BFM Omni15 TB. Did I miss any SPL chart? If it is there, I would...

Here's one of 2m straight in front of the speakers, no pan, 1,3m above center of bottom driver. Diagonal alignment is grey and vertical alignment is black. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I can't see why vertical would be better in that case. What horizontal drivers does for the...

I have some DIY experience, and I'm up for more, and that's perfect since I just joined a second band. I'm thinking about building myself a lightweight 2x10 cab. I've been searching the forum and reading up on the vertical vs horizontal alignment and dispersion issues. I got a nice spreadsheet...

Kustom 2x15 [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Drivers now replaced by Eminence Basslite 15's.

I usually run a 100W tube amp into an old 2x15 cab. However, last weekend the bass player of the other band playing the same night got to use my 2x15 with his Hartke 500W. Bad idea. Now both speakers are scrap. The good news is that he paid me for new speakers. Maybe it won't cover all of it...
