    Problems with mixing speakers?

    "How about yanking your tweeter and associated xover and fitting in a Closed Back Midrange and associated xover. Does this seem like a possible scenario for you? Emminence makes a 6" CBMR and I'm sure one of their stock x-overs could be acceptable, probably the 800hz 2way." This sounds like...

    Problems with mixing speakers?

    Everyone ... Thank you all for the more detailed answers to my questions. I appreciate them. I recognize that my lack of experience in this area must be frustrating to those of you to whom this stuff is old hat. Thanks for taking your own time to educate a newb. Also, again, I'm a guitar...

    Problems with mixing speakers?

    Atomik Rooster and Myth_103 ... It looks like at least three of us have been toying around with the idea of mixing a BP102 and a B102. Or 2 of each. So, my question would be, have either of you actually done this? If not, maybe one of us should start a new thread, just asking that one...

    Problems with mixing speakers?

    4) A 6" mid driver might well be nice, but I'm not a carpenter and the cabinet is already cut for 2X10. 5) I don't think I'm insisting on loading the cab a certain way, and I don't think I'll just jump and load it and "report back how long my B102 lasted", just because you appear to think I...

    Problems with mixing speakers?

    I don't know how to make it show the quotes like you guys do, so I'll just reply to the pieces, and hope you guys can figure out what I'm referring to: 1) I don't know what 'displacement limitation' is. 2) I don't think it's accurate to say that 'wattage means nothing'. 3) I don't...

    In other words .... Quote: Originally Posted by billfitzmaurice You won't get the low end that the BP102 is capable of delivering because the smaller xmax of the B102 will cause it to fart out at 1/4 the power limit of the BP102. ..... why would the above be true? Both speakers are...

    Problems with mixing speakers?

    In fact, I guess the more I think about it, the more I don't see why I couldn't put one BP102 and one B102 in it. I mean, both of them are speakers that are designed for bass guitar. And they're both rated at 200 watts. So why should the B102 'bottom out' or 'fart out' any sooner than the...

    Problems with mixing speakers?

    I don't know. I'm new at being a bass player. This is just a Peavey cab, but I was hoping that if I put some better drivers in it, it might sound really good. The cabinet itself is fairly small, but it seems very solid. It weighs a TON and when I play it as loud as it will go, there...

    Problems with mixing speakers?

    Hello, TalkBassers! I've followed your threads for a while, but never thought to register and contribute, usually being more a guitarist than bassist. However, having been playing a bit more bass than usual for the last 4-5 months, a couple of threads I've just read prompt me to reply...

    I guess that explains it! Sounds like MORE drivers is more important than BIG drivers? Thanks again, Jimmy!

    Mixing Speaker Cabs - Definitive Answer!

    Thanks for the reply, Jimmy! Yeah, when I think about it, I guess my puzzlement was more about the amount of bass than it was about the mids and highs. As you point out, it makes sense that the 8-inch speakers would be able to make good mids and highs. So, yes, I guess the thing that's...
