You're still connecting one amp to one speaker. You're just doing it with a cable that's twice as thick split in half. Refer to pizza post.

Easy enough to do. Wouldn't require any cutting on the cab if it already has 2 input jacks. Normally I'd say you're not going to gain anything from the extra power but I can see wanting to get 400 watts into a 410. Yes, if they all share the same airspace you want them to receive identical...

They're still drugged debaucheries, just at a slower pace with uglier people and most often legal under a doctor's care.

Make sure you're using enough port area. I find keeping it so the model shows 20 m/sec. or less At xmax limited power level prevents noisy ports. You can make the speaker run deeper by putting it in a large box but the penalty for doing so is reduced power handling in the low frequencies...

Damn Paul, you could've retired by now.

6 billion knobs and no true active crossover? And a one-knob compressor? Barking up the right tree, but I want to highpass the lowend, lowpass the highend, AND split the bandwidth. Also, I'll be paying with hypothetical money. What is the exchange rate on your planet?

People on here also seem to have a few different definitions of what "biamping" Is. :) In the OP's case, with the crossover that low, he probably needs all four 8's to get a full lowmid/upper bass tone happening at gig levels, but IMO there just Isn't a single 12 that can hang with that. Raise...

For what it's worth, my (many years old now, Eminence built) Avatar OEM 12's, built on the Deltalite structure, move outward with positive voltage applied to the positive (red) terminal, but that really doesn't mean anything. Designs could've changed over the years or a simple miswire in a...

Well, I admit, I skipped the last 6 or 7 pages. After having spent a good deal of time reading through the first 13 the other day, and now checking in to see it up to 21 or 22, I thought we'd have found the problem by now, haha. :) I used to have an older Carvin head, not the newest model this...

Also those chipboard/osb cabinets suck. The adhesive in that stuff deteriorates over time, even if you take care to not let it get wet. It becomes more and more a collection of chips and less and less a solid rigid panel as the years go by. I have a Hartke combo made out of that stuff that is...

I don't know what the hell's going on then. Are the drivers original to the cab? Or at least have ampeg or eminence or cts part numbers? Some no-name $5 chinese cheapies somebody threw in there just to sell it? Are they even pro audio or musical instrument drivers at all?

In the case of a biamping deal like this, your 2 cabs aren't sharing much bandwidth. A polarity reversal would only cause a null at and right around the crossover frequency. Beyond that, each cab will become dominant in its portion of the bandwidth. Though with a crossover at 100hz that...

Quality or not, most any WORKING speakers be loud enough when you have 8 of them. If you want a different rig because you just plain don't like this one that's cool, but it might not solve the problem in this one particular setup in this one particular hall. Still likely you have some dead or...

You haven't blown it so you're operating within its limits but yes, if you overdo it the sub won't give you any farty warning as the horn path filters out most of the distortion. If you're worried about it, your plans and Bill's site will have voltage limits for your model and instructions on...

IIRC, something around 50o-600hz works well and doesn't need a steep filter. 12db at most though 6 could do it depending on the response of the driver. Granted you're cutting out half the drivers in the uppermids, ones that are "bright" or have a climbing response could end up "just right"...
