That's pretty cool! I wish I had the dough. On sale on Denver's CL for anyone in the area.

Has anyone played through one of these? How are 9 speakers wired to 4 ohms?

Ah yes, an Ampeg V9 cab. The V9 rig was pretty much an SVT head voiced a bit differently for guitar, and it had reverb too. The matching V9 cab featured the nine 10's. Many Bass players actually liked the V9 rig better than a stock SVT setup. The late and great Allen Woody played used one these complete V9 rigs for his bass playing career with the Allman Brothers Band and of course Govt' Mule. How the V9 is wired to take 300 watts at 4 ohms I couldn't tell you.

A few years ago the band I was in at the time played with Jucifer and the girl playing guitar for them had 3 of these cabs (along with TONS of other amps). That was the only time I ever saw them.

Yeah, I saw this on CL today, too. I saw one for sale on Ebay once, but that was years ago. Anyone know if those ports are original? I don't really recall if the other one I saw was ported.

36 ohm speakers?

6x10 cabs have 24 ohm speakers.

If you wire 3 four ohm speakers in series, then wire those in parrallel A la..

You'll end up with a 4 ohm load.

THanks for all the information. Aside from being designed as a guitar cabinet, I would have expected these to catch on. The look is pretty intense, and with more ideal speakers, I could dig it.

From what I've heard, Jucifer has a "Great wall" of speakers. I hope I can catch them around some time.

I live in Colorado Springs, but I'm up in Denver often.

Thanks for all the responses.

Sorry but not an Amps thread. Amps is for bass related amps and cabs. Moved to Misc.

That's right, it's a guitar cab (ampeg made som interesting stuff that never caught on ...). I don't know what drivers Allen Woody used but those original drivers are not bass drivers and may lack lows and fart out.

rated at 300 watts I'd kill that thing.

Not that it really makes a difference, but if it's used by bassist wouldn't it make it material for the Amps forum? Isn't along the same lines as guitar pedals used by bassist?

On subject though - Eric Judy uses a 9x10 as well. I'd love to play through one.

Looks like the listing has been removed...

You are correct. However, anyone that uses this cab with a bass I think will be sorely dissappointed in the results.
