    Blast From The Past : Sunn Folded Horns

    First time I saw them at a music store, they wouldn't let me turn them up. They were afraid they'd blow out the front windows... lol I've played my Coliseum thru a self-made 2-18 folded horn cab with Vegas. Will probably go to the grave with me. Drives a low B better than any amp I've heard...

    Anyone owned a 70's Sunn Coliseum? Help!

    Link Removed Ohms are fixed. You can use anything as long as it doesn't go below 2 ohms. 4 ohms is probably around 200 watts output, and 8 ohm would be around 125. I'm running a 2-18s in a folded cab at 3 ohms, and it really stresses the sheetrock.. lol

    SUNN COLISEUM 300

    Love mine. Will probably go to the grave with me. Like Entwistle, I play thru a folded horn cabinet, but not Sunns like his. They're Cerwin Vegas like the Earthquake drivers. As you can see in the photos, I stack it with an old Kustom 3x15. Will really stress the sheetrock...

    Folded Horn Configurations?

    I've been playing a folded horn cab on bass guitar for 30 years. My amp has a extensive EQ, so I can get just about any sound or boost I need. Have to admit though, I play an additional amp with 3 15s that really compliment each other. In the 70s & 80s, most bassplayers in large concerts all...

    Folded Horn Configurations?

    The cabinet I made has 2 18s. One is front mounted, and the other is downward mounted at the rear to the horn. It works out pretty well...

    1x 18 folded cab build?

    When you use an EQ, those 18s can do ANYTHING. I do admit, however, that when I play thru both front loaded 15s and the 18 folded horn, the sound is beyond words...

    What’s the cheapest bass you’ve been/are amazed with?

    An $89 Rogue 5 string. Sounds just like steinway piano strings. Love it...

    Who Else Started Bass at 14, or some other crazy young age?

    Started at 14. Bought an old hofner (violin-shaped) hollow body. Feedback was terrible, but learned to play. Made a flying v body out of plywood. Ya, I know... Later made an explorer body out of birdseye maple. Kept it another 10 years...

    Are the big amps history?

    You've got braggin' rights. Sound doesn't get much better than that. I've got a Sunn Coliseum on my 18" folded horn. Will go to the grave with it...
