    You really need to have the hernia repair done with the mesh on both sides of the muscle wall, it won't get better, been there.

    Thinking of going Power amp pre amp setup.

    Its all about choice and what you like, and bank account. Have used lots of amps, SVT, Sunn, Acoustic, other Ampegs, my rack set up was a Furman parametric eq preamp and a Crown DC300A, looked good and sounded real good, now I like my Mesa D800 much better than any tried so far. Nothing against...

    8 ohm vs. 32 ohm speakers

    Went through this a while back, after talking at some length to a tech at Eminence, got the BP102's and did series/parallel wiring, GK cab.. Very happy. If you go for sensitivity or weight you lose low end response, personal opinion but that's what I prefer. 10's already have plenty of mids and...

    Class D Bass amp and cab recommendations

    Mesa D800, I've had several amps over the last 40+ years and its a keeper, sounds like tubes, power, weight, warranty, versatility. You really can't audition on youtube.

    Speaker Replacement Help Please - Speaker Sensitivity (db), Does it Really Matter?

    Sensitivity also has to do with freq response, you get better low end with lower sensitivity since the low freqs take more power to produce. Suggest you call Eminence and talk to a tech and get suggestions, that's what I did, got 4 BP102's and am very happy after putting them in a GK cab, really...

    2x15 vs. 8x10

    Lots of misinformation, the area of a circle is computed by the formula; radius squared times pi(3. 14), aka pie are square, for example, a 10" would be 5x5x3.14=78.5, a 15" speaker area would be 7.5x7.5x3.14=176.6, air moved by an 8x10 would be 628", for a 2x15 would be 353.2". The actual air...

    Sunn 118V

    Guess they made more than 2, mine is a 118-M. The port across the bottom is flared, more open at the front and tapered from the back, more taper from inside from the back and up, can't see well unless the grill and back is removed.

    Sunn 118V

    Nope, mine is a front mounted 18 with a rear loaded folded horn port, the port is all the way across the bottom kind of like a shelf port only there are a couple more pieces of wood inside to taper the folded horn/port. Looks similar to the pair above but don't think is the same.

    Sunn 118V

    Pic above doesn't seem to be the same as mine, don't see the folded port all the way across the bottom and mine doesn't have the al coil covers. Either way, only thing is to try it.
