    Cab BassLite S2010 impossible port length question

    Hi guys... I am considering building (or converting existing cab to) a cab for one of my many Eminence BassLite S2010s, using one of the Eminence cab designs. But the specified port length seems impossible to fit in the specified volume, if the port should only be half the length of the...

    Eminence Basslite S2010, what have you done with it?

    Wondering how folks have used the Eminence Basslite s2010 Neo driver? Cool cab builds? As replacements in... Which cabs? On the lookout for ways to use this speaker. Honestly, don't love the sound by itself, but they've really come through for me in a rock band lately, and that's what counts...

    Internal shelf/slot port wall thickness?

    Hi folks, hopefully quick cab construction question... How thick does the shelf of a slot port have to be? On the cabs I have with a shelf port, the shelf itself is made of the same thickness wood as the rest of the cabinet. But for round ports, relatively thin plastic is used. It would be...

    Round port(s) size recommendation?

    Hi, wondering if someone who understands modeling software might be able to recommend what diameter and length of round ports to use with this 2.1cf (internal volume w/o drivers) cab with two Eminence CA10-16 speakers? Don't know if this is a reasonable question, but tried using winisd and...

    Converting from one round port to several round ports

    Hi folks, hopefully quick question regarding converting from one large round port to several smaller ones: I have an old small cab, an ex SWR combo, which has one dumb little 2 in zero length round port. I would like to conform it to a published eminence cab spec (see below). MY QUESTION: The...

    Which of these lining materials to use?

    I'm trying to find something around the house today to use to line the inside of a cab. This futon thing (pictured) may be the victim. Would folks recommend using the inner foam, or the quilted outer layer, perhaps doubled up? The cab in question is a cheesy old PA cab from JCPenney's, from 35...

    Mistake to install EMG Geezer Butler on 78 P?

    Does it seem like a dumb idea to put a EMG Geezer Butler Signature P bass pickup on a 1978 Fender P Bass? Anyone have experience with the stock pickups from that era? Resale issues? (Though I've had this bass for 30 years, and don't expect to sell it.) Play rock music, including lots of classic...

    Adding inexpensive tweeter to 1x10 cab?

    I have a sort of homemade 1x10 cab, with a Eminence bp102 in it, that I really like. (Which is no small feat recently, finding a cab I really like...I seem to have a bad attitude. ;) Wondering if anyone can suggest an inexpensive tweeter solution to add? Space is limited, weight is an issue...

    Why does my F# boom?

    Hi... At the risk of asking too many questions... Here's one about a boomy stage... I did read a ton of the existing threads first.:-( Last night, played a pub gig that we've done maybe 10 times before. The Bistro in Hayward CA--long square room famous for some sound difficulties. The last two...

    Magellan MG800 with GK Neo 12 cabs?

    Anyone using a MG800 (or MG350) with the GK 12" Neo cabs? Have a line on a Neo 212 II for a great price, an hour's drive away, strongly considering it for gigs. A Neo 112 II might be great for band rehearsal. Both, or two 112s, could meet most of my needs... Considering buying it just to try...

    Dust cap repair, SWR Workingmans 15 cab

    Hi folks... Think I read most of the threads regarding speaker dust caps, but no exact match, so here's my question, thanks! Picked up a SWR workingman's 15 inch cab last week. Love it with my genzler mg800. (Never expected to love something from SWR! Just not my style.) After one loud gig...

    Eminence BP102-4 vs BP102-8

    Hi folks... kind of a specific question here: The specification PDFs for these two speakers, the Eminence bp102 and 4 ohm and 8 ohm, show a rather different frequency response chart. Should I expect this information to be accurate? Noticeable? When I first got BP 102-4, didn't like it. Now...

    Okay to use too small cab? (VAS)

    Hi folks, quick question with hopefully quick answer. What will be the negative effects of using a cab with insufficient VAS? I want to put an Eminence bp122 12in speaker in my Eden ex112 cab. OEM whizzer speaker not working for me. The Eminence bp122 frequency response chart looks awesome...

    Recommendation for 10" (or 12") speaker that sounds like EV 15L?

    Looking for a moderately priced replacement speaker with good midrange response, like my old EV15L. Doesn't have to handle more than about 100 watt at most. 8 ohms preferred. Any recommendations? Picked up a new Eden EX112, the speaker has a Whizzer, but it doesn't sound very "midrangy" at all...

    Not liking Eden EX112, try Neo 112 II or NY12?

    A month ago, I ordered up an Eden ex112 8 ohm. For quiet rock band practice and quieter restaurant type rock gigs with my markbass LM 250 and P Bass. Haven't done any gigs with it yet, but so far, not really delivering for me at practice. Loud enough, but missing low bass, and maybe most...
