Any info on peavey amp and cabnet

I just replaced a blown up crossover cap in one of these a few weeks ago. There's no way I'd throw 400 watts RMS into those 10's. Darn cabinet was so heavy, the wheels were half ruined, which made it a beast to even move around the shop.

When you run Biamped I believe it bypasses the crossover. I know I was running the QSC PLX3002 at about 12 o'clock on the A and B gains and it took everything I threw at it.
I got mine for nostalgic reasons (always wanted one when I started play 35 + years ago) $50 was a great price. I've cleaned it up and just got the top badge for it. Looking for a BW badge now.
I've replaced the casters with some beefier ones and already used it out once (at a fire hall show, street level load in) and it sounded great. Heres how she looks now with the new badge. (Not the same head I used, the head I used at the fire hall is in the other picture, was practicing here at home with that head).

I like the big, crude, old Peavey bass heads but wouldn't pay over $100 for one. I owned 2 1820 cabinets and ended up giving them away to be used in an upcoming episode of "Tiny Houses."

HA! I consider making a Tiny House with one I found that had been stripped out but ended up doing this (project in progress)
I've got a thread going about it I'll post pictures when it's done. This one will get bigger diameter casters and will only be used at street level load in shows when I feel like dragging her out.

To the OP, Let us know what head he's selling. (Depending on the head it might be worth it).

Note that the Black Widow 18 may be the model where the foam filter breaks down over time.
That foam will eventually find its way into the the voice coil gap and cause problems.

If you do purchase the cabinet, you need to remove the 18" speaker and check the filter.

Good thought, I should probably look at mine, thanks man.
