    Help a newb with Bag End ELF equipment

    Well. Just saw this. You have an install version on the 18. For live, I'd recommend you get a bag-end replacement Speakon plate so you can plug speaker cables to it. Then you'll need an amp to power the 10" ELF and a second amp to power the top box. You could use a "regular" bass amp for...

    Bag End Nebula cabs

    I have a self-powered Nebula 18" with Infra Processor. IMHO no other bass cab does smooth lows like it. EVERYONE loves it cause its room filling but never gets in the way. I'm hoping for the self-powered Nebula 2x10 next.

    Which Fender Mustang?

    I got the Am Performer. Got it Plek'd and put in Aguilar PJ's. Had to route for the P. Flats. Everyone loves it.

    New batch of Octabvre Mini units

    Hmmm. I like the new Mini... Drake red. Anyways it sounds absolutely fantastic. Super warm, stout lows. So even if it looks bad it sounds good!

    Are you talking about your bass amp only? Or is this the PA?

    What processor would you use to process the 810? Lake? The process you're describing is pretty expensive and advanced for..... bass players! I haven't heard the VRX918 but I'll bet it really pounds like the newer JBL "nicer" models. I'm just going to demo some VTX A8's for in install and...

    True for sure it could be done. I've cooked a few small speakers without really noticing it was happening. Especially those Euphonic Audio VL 110's which I loved. Referencing your example, an Ampeg 810 weighs 165 pounds and is a refrigerator. No doubt you could coax more lows out. But...

    To put My 2 cents is that using an eq to make a cabinet do something it is not designed for (like go real low) does not work because eq is only one part of the process. These days it seems like high-end (PA) gear that goes into the high 20's is integrated with specific DSP settings one way or...

    Sorry for the long delay. The BE has its own crossover. I use the TH750 amp and just rolled all the bass off. Its centered at 40hz but at zero sounds quite thin.

    Interesting. That's starting to sound like PJB kinds of stuff. I had the 16B and 8T for a while. Not portable but lightning quick transients. It also makes me think of the K-Array PA gear. It sounds great and is very expensive. I'd like to see pictures when you get it. Here's a snap of my...

    Fundamental of the E-string is 41 hz. I know there's tons of harmonic stuff but thought that deserved a mention.

    Pretty close in size to the Aggie SL 112... Surprisingly the same depth.

    What??? HP at 100? You have no need for a BE subs then. They will be sleeping all night. I mean literally. The published specs are: "Frequency Response: 8 Hz to 95 Hz ±3 dB" Perhaps you mean in the "house" vs. stage? HP at 100 threw me for a loop when we're talking about subs.... I...

    And I'm assuming you're thinking of self-powered with the ELF integrator? That's the way to go. Hey come to Napa and you can try out my cabinet any time and taste wine in the same day. You mean one double 12? I started off planning on that but then considering my rock band stuff went with...

    I should update that the double 10's and 12's are also nice but not nearly as loud as the 18"
