thank you for sharing! For $50 it’s certainly worth a shot. Maybe I’m just being too picky. Just seems like I can produce 100 unusable tones but I’m limited to a very fine sweet spot. Perhaps I need to re-evaluate my thought process and find a place for the tones that I typically dismiss.

I haven’t considered upgrading the bridge but I will definitely look into that. I didn’t realize it would change the tone significantly. Once I get home I will try to roll off the bridge volume a little and see what that produces. I like the sound of both pickups at 100% (read somewhere here...

I will definitely try the alligator clip idea, thank you for that because it didn't cross my mind. I may have been confused about the linear tone pot, I will run your suggestion (Linear volume, Audio tone). I did some research into the Tonestyler, I think that was a good starting point but I...

I have has my VM77 J bass for a few years now but I'm not in love with the tone. I usually run each volume pot full on and the tone knob dialed back to about half. I find hat is the only real usable sound settings. I was hoping to modify the electronics a little. After some research I think I...

I just picked up the SUB 4 and I really do enjoy it. Quite a deal; however, I am experiencing the very high output/ clipping sound that many of you spoke about. I have lowered the pickup as far as it would go (flush with the pickguard) and that did not help so I printed out the volume pot repair...

Well, I had the chance to really test out the 410XLT and I must say that I am very pleased! Super efficient cab that totally cuts through. I appreciate everyones input and opinions and I have chosen to add the 4 ohm D410XST. Its currently being shipped so Ill be sure to keep you posted with...

I was fortune enough to find a Eden D410XLT for a good price. It is the 4 ohm version. I am looking for recommendations on a second cab. I push my rig with a Crown XLS1500 so impedance is not really a concern. I am interested in the D212XLT cabs. I found an 8 ohm that I can currently afford. Is...

As far as the BMax i9s concerned, I really disliked it for a while until I dedicated a few hours to mess around with the settings. I read every review and BMax thread available to gather as much information about it before i started the process. I have been playing bass for about 13 years and...

I just ordered an Eden E410XST4 and I was wondering if anybody had experience with it. I will be using a Crown XLS power amp to drive it. I can't seem to find any useful reviews on this cab so any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Well I finally got everything and I must say, Im thoroughly impressed. Running the BBE BMAX pre into the xls1500 works great. There are no issues from the pre output to the Crown. Pushing both 4 ohm 2x15 cabs with the xls1500 really produces an unbelievable feeling. I feel like my main rig is...

I am currently running the bbe bmax into a power amp. I would like to purchase the sansamp rbi rack mounted version to add to my rig. Is there any way to run my one bass signal to both preamps and having the option to toggle between the preamps without making a mess? I understand the an a/b/y...

So after a few months I finally decided to pull the trigger on the Crown XLS1500. I believe it will suite my needs pretty well and at an affordable price point it was hard to pass up. I will be running the XLS1500 into two custom built 2x15 4ohm cabs using the BBE BMAX as a preamp. Excluding the...

I did try the patch cable method and no dice. I bought this amp used and when I got it home the FX loop, both in and out would not work and the tuner out jack was not functional. Thats why I initially took it to an amp tech. So I believe that there are some serious problems within the amp. I...

I have a GK Backline 600 as a backup amp to my backup amp. I was having trouble with the FX loop so I sent it to a local amp tech. 2 months later I got a call saying it would be $200 to repair so I told them to just send it back to me and charge a bench fee (no repairs performed). I got the amp...

Well, I wouldnt limit you options to a 4 speaker cab only. There are many great cabs available that are not 4 speaker designs, but if thats your preference than go for it. I currently run a GK 700RB II as my go to amp. Plenty loud for most gigs and reliable. You can get a fairly large array of...

If you dont mind unplugging your instrument cable in between songs you could... Run the sans amp out into the GK fx return and plug your bass into the sans amp. That would eliminate the Gk pre amp. When you want the GK pre just unplug the sans amp from the fx return and plug your bass into the...

Thank you, warnergt. So I would select the "Input Y" to split my preamp signal to both amps within the Crown, and then select the "bypass" option because I do not want any filtering.

Thank you!! That was exactly what I was looking for. The manual made it sound like with that process, I must choose a high pass or low pass setting. I understand that mono will stay mono, i misused the words stereo mode. One signal to two outputs is better wording. Thanks again

That would work, I was just hoping that there would be a setting on the XLS1500 allowing a mono input to be run in stereo mode to each cab.

Hello, I am in the market for a power amp for my new rig and it looks like the Crown XLS1500 fits my needs perfectly. After thoroughly reading through the users manual I cant seem to grasp how to run ONE input (signal from my preamp) to TWO outputs(stereo mode to each of my cabs). I have two...

Thanks everyone!! I designed the plans from scratch.

I am finally done with the 2x15 full stack build!! Heres some photos with the grill cloth and piping. I have really bad lighting and the phone camera doesnt help but the grill cloth is dark black with no opacity and the piping is yellow.

You could save money and build a better cab than what is available on the market. fEARful is recognized as one of the most colorless cabs (in a very good way). Pair that cab up with a power amp and you should be able to reproduce almost exactly what the Bass Pod puts out. Some other members...

Thanks again for all the advice. When I got home today I ran the "tuner out" jack from the GK into the BBE Bmax "active" input. I messed with the volume control on each amp and managed to get a reasonable sound but I cant realistically run a set up like this so I think a power amp is in my...

the wireless does have a normal 1/4" out. The only problem I can see with using that is one cab would be getting the BMax sound and the other cab would be getting the GK sound. It may sound great but it may sound like rubbish. I might pick up the a/b/y/ box and split the signal right after the...

Could I run the "tuner out" from the GK to the input of the BBE Bmax? The preamp has two inputs, one active and one passive so would the signal from the "tuner out" be acceptable for either of the inputs of the BBE?

will33, what would be a good way to run both amps at the same time? I have a wireless hooked up to the GK so if i could send the signal from the GK to the preamp infront of the Ampeg that would be great! Currently Im using the fx loop in the gk for a sonic maxamizer and tuner in that same rack...

So I have been looking into power amp for these cabs. I would prefer a power amp that would fit into a Gator Shallow rack. So far the Behringer EPQ2000 has really been catching my eye. The specs of this amp say "4 ohms per chanel, stereo: 700W". So is that each chanel being run at 4 ohms, which...

Each cab is wired at 4ohms so I cant run both with the Ampeg. My main amp is a 700RB but that doesnt help the impedance issue so Ill be looking into power amps that are good for 2 ohms.

Just finished building these cabs. I have some serious love for 15's!!

Update. I just need to finish the grills and piping. Im going to go with a black cloth grill and yellow piping.

I will defiantly be looking into a good hand truck, unfortunately my studio is on the 2nd floor of my house so maybe I should be looking into an elevator as well!! Thanks again for all the support, the advice and experience throughout this forum has been a tremendous help.

Your not kidding!! So far Im very happy with the built. I still need to adjust the EQ and fine tune some settings but overall these cabs sound really good. I should be finishing the second cab tomorrow and building the grills.This cab is more responsive and clear than my other stack; however...

thanks for the advice! Actually Im running a 700RB as my main amp and I have an Ampeg B2RE as a backup. So I have enough power to have fun with for now but I can only run one cab at a time because they are wired to be 4 ohms a each. I wish I could run both of my amps at the same time right now...

Heres a sneak peek at the build so far. I didn't glue in the baffle board or vents yet because I ran out of daylight and couldn't cut the speaker holes.

Usually I use 3/4" birch for my cab builds, just wondering if there are better options for this project. Money is not REALLY an issue but at $60 per piece, a cheaper option would be nice. Also, weight is not an issue either. I understand that there are "feather weight" cab designs but I do not...

thanks again, dhsierra1, for all the advice. That was exactly what I was looking for. Now I know what power amps to be looking for as far as wattage is concerned. All the hardware/drivers are currently being shipped so hopefully I can make a trip to the hardware store and pick up the building...

dhsierra1, after reading through the thread a few times I kept going back to your recommendation, I checked the specs and referenced them with a ton of other options and read many reviews, so thank you for the advice. Im glad to hear that you are familiar with these drivers. When you say...

So I just pulled the trigger on four Eminence Legend CB158's. It has the same xmax as the LFA's but 2db higher frequency and a lot of you spoke highly of the CB158. The Eminence website states that these speakers are rated at 300 watts RMS. How realistic is that? Do any of you have experience...

Yes. The Eden would be supplying 300 watts when in use and the Portaflex would be supplying 500 watts when in use. The cab that you posted is 500 watts RMS at 4 ohms so either amp would work just fine with that cab.
