    Why am I not loud?

    I was actually thinking about going to a buddy's house and seeing if his svt 2-15 could slide into my back seat. It may be a pipe dream, haha, but if it fits im gonna start looking for a used svt 8-10. If it doesn't fit ill either look for a 4-10 or keep my current setup, which i'm not content...

    Why am I not loud?

    ha i do use the deep button, and i might have the compressor past 9 o clock. The thing is I use the those to get the best tone out of the head, so instead of working around those I might have to buy a better cab. I've tried plugging speaker cables into amp a and amp b slots, and i've mono...

    Why am I not loud?

    thanks for all the advice. With my vehicle there is just no way I'm going to be able to have a 6-10, 2-15, or 8-10. I'm going to be sticking with ampeg svt cabinets here, so what do you all suggest... a svt 410hlf alone or a svt 410he and my svt 115? I'll try not to look at wattage that much...

    Why am I not loud?

    I dont even think an svt 4-10hlf could fit in my car, but the svt 4-10he could. I have a small hyundai elantra. That has been the main factor in me buying cabs not the price of the cab, but the size of the cab.

    what would you consider quality cabinets? I always though ampeg svt cabs were top of the line. I do understand that i have pretty weak cabs though.

    Why am I not loud?

    Well at this point, I'm just wondering if I should even bother with getting a svt 4-10he, because some of you guys are suggesting that it wouldn't help that much. Maybe I should just turn downs my lows, tell the guitar players to turn down a little bit, and deal with not being that loud.

    Why am I not loud?

    So am i getting this right: Even if I have a 500 watt cab and a 200 watt cab the head will only pump 200 watts into each cab, kind of like a lowest common denominator type deal? If thats the case it would be louder just going through the 500 watt cab. Could biamping it change that? And the...

    Why am I not loud?

    Trust me, I'd buy an svt 8-10 in a heartbeat if I had a vehicle that it could fit in, but thats just not the case. The svt 8-10 is 800 watts and my set up that i'm thinking about buying would be 700 watts, so hypothetically, I should have almost the loudness as the 8-10, if that's the case I...

    Why am I not loud?

    The previous owner said he got new tubes put in it a couple months ago, he seemed like an honest guy haha but who knows. I'm an amature at that kind of stuff, so I wouldn't know. The amp sounds fine, its just not that loud, could that be the tubes? When I say its not that loud I dont mean you...

    Why am I not loud?

    I've read the manual, and it does have a 3 tube preamp. I've switched from having it mono bridged with a speakon cable and plugging each cab in with speaker cables. I can't tell a difference. Anyway, I mainly want to find out if I can expect a big difference in loudness between playing with a...

    Why am I not loud?

    Hey guys. I'm a new poster on here, signed up today. I bought a used Ampeg SVT Pro 4 about a week ago and it sounds awesome, but it's just not as loud as i had hoped it to be. I can't get it up too loud without the lows being all muffled and the peak light flashing. I used to play out of a...
