And then later on, as you get more ambitious and tire of the light load-in, you can do this:

Love the 2 210AVs sitting on top of the SVT head!

Ha! As if...

 

[Tele295]

Dude, throw another 210av under that and your rig will rock like mine!

J!

That's actually an old SVT 210, bigger box than the Micro SVT. I replaced the blown 32-ohm 70s speakers with 2x8-ohm, yielding a 4/ohm load.

Bet that sound killer! How much does it weigh?

 

[okcrum]

Correct. It's something related to how the preamp is built... I suspect with how the compressor and gain knob interact.

5sg.

What do you mean by "how the preamp is built"?

How exactly do you correlate the above to the fault?

It does sound good, but it is heavy. It's 1/4 of a 70s SVT flat back. They just used heavy wood back then. I'll get it on the scale this weekend

Yeah, believe it or not, there was a time in this world that people didn't choose gear by weighing it.

......and some of us were a LOT younger then!

Just sayin'.


J!

If they did, it was more likely to revel in the shear weight of it - not to see how light it was.

 

[rodl2005]

Yeah, how cool was it to need 4 guys to bring yr cab in?

 

[Bass 45]

I have never needed help that the right vehicle and a four wheeled flat cart could not provide - although I do not have to deal with staircases in my area.

Same here however IMO those older cabinets were designed better for moving. They had multiple recessed handles and caster sockets on the bottom and the side. The old SUNN 215's and Acoustic 301's that I used years ago were fairly easy to move. I was a lot younger then but I could probably still move one if I had to. Just not every night LOL

I feel so enlightened now

You said it, brother.

Hmm okay. Finished all posts reading, since part I. !!

I have some questions....
If I add one 8ohm cab to the 500/350, I get a nearly equal wattage?
I play (dirrrty) rock, not a quiet mode, or style, with heavy-handed drummer and a loud (~200W) guitarist, I want to know, if I buy the 350, this would be enugh for me with a 2X15 Black Widow or with a pf115? Little gigs, 300 persons clubs, maybe outside with PA/mic-ed? It is problem with 350?
If I want to put to my 350 my boss tuner, that is possible?
Sorry for my bad english!
Thanks for the answers!

with a loud drummer and guitarist I'd say get the PF500 with the 215. The PF115 is a nice cab but I don't think it would keep up with a loud band.

Just got my pf500. Took a few minutes to dial it in and i was off and running! Bad news is the my group wont be meeting for 2 weeks so i gotta wait to hear it with the band...oh well...gives me lots of time to play around with it.
