    Why is my 800rb so much louder than XLS1000

    Th 2x10 8ohm cab is a custom built with two 4ohm eminence BP102-4 run in series. I have two of them. A local cabinet maker make them similar to Avatar specs. They sound tremendous.

    Why is my 800rb so much louder than XLS1000

    Ok, so you are all correct. Thanks for your replies. My buddy has a guitar volume pedal and a ART mic tube preamp and we tested it with the XLS power amp. Big Big difference when the signal is boosted before the amp. So now I know. Anyway I love the 800rb and the VT adds that much more sound...

    Why is my 800rb so much louder than XLS1000

    Actually, I cannot tell the difference (volume-wise) in this setup when in mono Bridge mode, or simply using a single channel in stereo bypass mode. Oh and I did use the correct cables for the test, not the same one as I do know the difference for the bridged cable. Hmmm, I was hoping for...

    Why is my 800rb so much louder than XLS1000

    Yes, same bass and same settings, same 2x10. Only swapped rb800 for VT/XLS combo. I agree more speakers = more volume. But all things being equal on either end, I assumed the XLS would be capable of driving the speakers to 'at least' the same volume as the GK. I have other cab combos (4x10...

    Why is my 800rb so much louder than XLS1000

    Ok, help me understand volume relative to watts, or at least specs. I am playing my USA Fender P ---> VT Bass Pedal --> Crown XLS1000 in bridge mode with yes, a correct bridge cable, down to a 8 ohm 400 watt 2x10 cab. Great sound for sure. Now I take the VT and XLS out and drop in my 1984 GK...

    Americans keeping their autos longer than ever

    2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 202,000 miles. I told my kids I am trying to get 238,800 miles out of it so I can say it drove it to the moon in terms of distance. So far so good.

    Help me understand power (watts)

    Sneakypete, is that to say that I would be better off with (2) 4x10s rather than my 2x10 and 1x15 setup? When does speaker size come into play in regards to moving air?

    Help me understand power (watts)

    I apologize in advance for newbieness of this question. I have a Genz Benz 6.0 shuttle and a old GK 800RB. Between the two I really like the GK sound better for what I play. Now having said that, the Genz says 600 watts at 4 ohms, the GK is 300 watts at 4 ohms. Lets say I have an 8 ohm 600...

    Which amp/cab(s) for outside Gig without PA support

    So I have a gig coming up in two weeks and was hoping to get some input as to which amp/cab combo to take. The amps and cabs sound great in their own right but I have mostly played outside with PA support, particularly subs. I assume taking two different cabs would yield the most volume and...
