    Cab BassLite S2010 impossible port length question

    Oh! Maybe I misunderstood, guess I need clearance equal to the width of the port, not the length. D'oh! I went to considerable trouble to make this cab deeper... And also to decrease the width, both of which are visible in photo. :)

    Cab BassLite S2010 impossible port length question

    I didn't make it clear, I'm actually using the published Eminence cab designs, not using software myself. Can be Googled as Basslite_S2010_cab.pdf .

    Cab BassLite S2010 impossible port length question

    Thx...so, did you put the specified ports into a box that was less than twice as deep internally as those ports? I think I heard that was a No-No. :-) Yeah maybe I should try the rumble 40, or build a 1.2 CF (approximately) box based on it. I just made a box of about 1.53 c f total for a s2012...

    Cab BassLite S2010 impossible port length question

    Hi guys... I am considering building (or converting existing cab to) a cab for one of my many Eminence BassLite S2010s, using one of the Eminence cab designs. But the specified port length seems impossible to fit in the specified volume, if the port should only be half the length of the...

    Ran my Streamliner at 16 ohms tonight -- a revelation

    Would this trick also work with my Genzler Magellan MG800? Similar circuitry? :-) I tried asking this question on the Genzler amplification megathread, but, other topics were dominating. @JeffGenzler? The question being, would I get a more tubey result from running at 16 ohms?

    Eminence Basslite S2010, what have you done with it?

    Thx... that sounds a LOT like one of the eminence cab suggestions: "BassLite S2010, Larger Vented 1x10" Bass Guitar Cab" Would love to know what do you did for ports, with measurements. :-) Note that the 1.7cf V(total) that Eminence uses always seems to include the driver and ports.

    Eminence Basslite S2010, what have you done with it?

    Wondering how folks have used the Eminence Basslite s2010 Neo driver? Cool cab builds? As replacements in... Which cabs? On the lookout for ways to use this speaker. Honestly, don't love the sound by itself, but they've really come through for me in a rock band lately, and that's what counts...

    Internal shelf/slot port wall thickness?

    Hi folks, hopefully quick cab construction question... How thick does the shelf of a slot port have to be? On the cabs I have with a shelf port, the shelf itself is made of the same thickness wood as the rest of the cabinet. But for round ports, relatively thin plastic is used. It would be...

    Genzler Amplification Club

    Anybody running the Magellan at 16 ohms? Hi @JeffGenzler, or others who have good info on this: Some folks have reported good results using their Streamliner heads into a 16 ohm load to get a good tubey tone at lower volumes. Should we expect the MG800 to perform similarly? And/or, could we...

    Adding inexpensive tweeter to 1x10 cab?

    Just a little more love for the eminence basslite S2010. :-) No real questions here, just gabb and a bit about what's worked for me. Threw it into a Eden ex112 cab (absolutely hate the 12in whizzer Eden speaker) and it delivered the goods at a living room party gig. Flogged it like a government...

    Round port(s) size recommendation?

    Yep, I'm on the look out for SWR Goliath III Jr. Almost had GC send me one for $320 a couple weeks ago. Those cabs don't seem to last long at GC... Purchased 7 factory cabs in last year... So far, like the lightweight one I just made better. Too early to say, though. At any rate, thinking 2x10...

    Round port(s) size recommendation?

    So I used the cab last night, and it actually sounded pretty good I thought, except that it had a same problem as previously when configured with a 1x15 eminence cb158, namely, kind of boomy and unfocused around the low G. Low G being almost exactly the specified resonance a.k.a. Fb for this cab...

    Round port(s) size recommendation?

    Here it is as it currently stands... Still waiting for the 16ohm ca10s to arrive, so there is a ca10 and a s2010 in there now. Sounds pretty good... Will test tonight at impending house party. Hoping that keeping an eye on the speaker cones will alert me to any overpowering.... Wattage wise...
