I'm reviving this post in hopes that someone will chime in (Bill maybe)?? I did some modelling with the 15PR400 4Ohm vs. the 3015LF. It appears to me that at low to mid power, they give approximately the same output. The 3015LF has a monstrous xmax, but this is probably not a big deal for...

Why did he cover the lf driver with his logo?

I'm confused. The 6" should never fart out (for what I would call "fart out"). The 6" is high passed at about 800Hz and thus, there are no low frequencies being sent to it. There may be something else going on. There are a lot of people over on the fEARful forum that are more than willing...

I think my total is 3: 1515/66, 15 Sub, headcase thanks! (I also built the 15/6 for AL!EN BA$$)

and...here is my 15 Sub with my 18Sound headcase

somebody is selling a Bergantino 115 in the Boston area on craigslist...

I love the BBE. It's a great product at a great price. The tone shaping is very versatile and the DI is top-notch. However, it's been said many times before that you need a power amp that has on-board DSP so that you can put a high pass filter. The BBE is VERY flat if you want it to be. It...

fEARful 1515/66 atop 15 Sub.

GB shuttle head with fEARful 12/6 is amazing. Acoustic Image also makes a great amp for acoustic bass, but their cabs are weak. It would also be great with a fEARful. Fishman Platinum preamp is a must-have.

My 1515/66/1 fEARful atop a 15 Sub fEARful!!

No breakup at all! They are very flat across the entire frequency spectrum. I actually really like the DI sound for bass and that's probably why I like the fEARful. The DIY adventure is fun too.

I like the MXR M80+

The 1212/6 is a phenomenal cab. I doubt you will find anyone who has actually played through one who hasn't absolutely fallen in love with it.

Check out this thread: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/extended-range-bass-amps-829871/ This guy plays in a death metal band and was constantly blowing out cabs. He's happy now.

Acoustic Image

There are a lot of high tech people that contribute to TB--people who know just as much about acoustics as VW knows about playing bass. I would actually argue that someone with a PhD in physics or EE and is a good musician is better equipped to answer this question than someone who is just a...

If properly crossed over, you wouldn't have any void in the lows, but your overall output would be lower. I agree that it doesn't make sense to cross over full range speakers. It is a total waste of gear and still will not give you the best performance. That's why I strongly believe in 3-way...

+1 (and then some) F3, SPL, and XMAX. Look it up and learn them well!

I like these "new" 2 and 3 way cabs. You can get a lot of output and full sound out of small packages. There is something to be said about having two separate 12" cabs. You will find that some gigs you only need 1 cab. Also, if you have a bad back and only want to move smaller boxes, two...

Agreed. I used Eden 1x15 and a 2x10 for years and always found them to be a bit quiet. Something about Eden. There are some high output 15's out now that are powerful and have a more balanced sound. I recently switched over to fEARful 15/6 and love it. Others have mentioned barefaced, but...

I agree. IMO 4x10s are heavy and inefficient. I'll never buy one again. A fEARful 15/6 will bury most 4x10s and sound better. It's worth checking out a few posts on them.

The amount of power is dependent on the impedance of the cabs. If they are both 8 ohm cabs, they will receive the same power. If they are different, then the lower impedance cab will receive more power. With that said, a 4x10 with the same power will probably be louder than the 1x15 by the...

Actually, there is plenty wrong with combining 10's and 15's. You should never do it unless you use a crossover and send them different frequencies. You are sacrificing sound quality and introducing funky phase effects if you send the same signal into 15s and 10s. In addition, since 4x10 cabs...

agreed.

Let me re-phrase that. It's easier to blow drivers with poorly-designed (or leaky) ported enclosures.

AL!EN BASS, for your application you NEED a system with a mid driver. 4x10, 8x10, 2x12 are all going to give you problems. If I understand correctly, you are using low tunings (F#) AND slap/pop play. This puts an immense amount of strain on your drivers. Think of it this way--you are...

dhomer: I think this is an important point. Maybe you can expand/explain a little more??
