Now that is a STACK! I would put my 215D on top of my 3620, but I would have to take it outside... :cool:

Not to mention the btb 6er, I like mine pretty well too...
 
As posted else where

Sunn Beta 2-15, 4-12 pairing
Peavey 1820 under a Peavey 4-12

I also have a Peavey Combo 115 that sits on top of a Peavey 1-15 Cab. It is a 300watt, 2-15 set-up but it's in 2 pieces. No pix of that yet.


edit: Nuts! Pix won't load! I will keep trying.

Wayne Jones cabs. no?
What do you think of them?

They're nice cabs. I don't like really hi-fi stuff I'm more of an old school sound. Just one of them sounds pretty good and doesn't fart out or anything. 2 of them really opens it up and sounds huge. They are kinda of a bottom heavy cab but I like it. The biggest problem with them is they weigh a ton. I picked the up used for cheap. I got one hear got one there and somehow I ended up with four of them. I thought about making an 8x10 cab to spec to load all of the speakers in at one point, but I never got around to it.
 
the place where i practice, the owner uses a 2x18 its massive, to big infact that now when he gigs he uses a 2x12, i have every intention of upgrading to a 8x10 when i get a way of transporting it. how do other people manage? anyone? its hard enough getting a 4x10 in my car with the rest of my shizz.

The big cabs are 1820s

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Sunn 415M


[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Acoustic 408

Since it looks like we're counting normal sized cabs, square back 8X10 plus 2 Celestion 2X15s.

That's right, 8X10 and 2X15 are normal sized cabs.
 
Two BagEnd 18 Infra ELF's w/M2 ELF Integrator and a Bergie NV425! The power center has changed: Ashdown Klystron 1000 head, Aguilar DB680 pre, and a TC GMajor for a little flavor. Still using the Behringer Europowers to drive the BagEnds! It's loud! I'll also post pics of my old rig next.

Here's my old rig when I was more heavily into vintage Trace heads and BagEnds out the wazoo! If you couldn't afford a vasectomy at a doctor's office, you could just stand in front of this for a couple of seconds.

Pretty cool!

I would never dare to call myself a guitar player, but I do have a good time working on my originals.

I've had a few much better guitarists than I try this rig out and
every last one of them just gets the biggest case of the grins. :D

This old 8X10 adds a whomp you just don't get in most guitar cabs while still delivering plenty of sweet top end.

Actually, my 2X12 is 1/3 louder than the 8X10 due to the
efficiency of the EVM12L and JBL-K120 mix.

So the result is that I can play the Bad Cat Hot Cat 100R wide open through the 8X10 getting all kinds of dreamy tone without paint peeling punishment.

This really taught me a lesson on how the efficiency of the drivers
can make such a difference in tone and projection.
 
I've had all sorts of big cabs (couple of Acoustic 301's, 70s Sunn 215, SWR Henry 8x8, Marshall 810 converted to a 215) but here is my current one. An older shallow Peavey 215 that's been updated with insulation, Eminence CB15s and a ew grill cloth and matched up with my Peavey VB-2:
