Now that doesn't look like that will hold up to being regularly gigged and I'd expect quite a bit of road wear to be showing up after a few months. You know, general scuffs and scratches from being used in practice and gigs at diners, pubs and clubs. You would not want the road crew taking responsibility for handling this one. But, looks great, the size is just about right.
On the other hand you must be joking about that being a functioning bass cabinet.

haha! how to cover up your new bass cab purchase from the missus! she'll be so impressed with your taste in furniture she'll unwittingly offer to help move it round!
Wow I think I'm seeing the last knockings of this thread. How many weeks was that! And 43 pages?! HRGIGER should be a journalist for starting this one. This thread ran for a year!

8 ohms??? You'd think that a speaker of that type would be 4 ohms to get the most juice possible out of a solid state power amp...
Good thing it has those newfangled "Nutrix" connectors

That's pretty funny. The Fitzmaurice Titan can be as big, weigh less, be as durable, and cost less than 1/5 the price to build.
Hahahahahahaha!
$2400???!! Yes... right. er what made you price it at $2400? Seemed like a round number but not as crass as $2500. Is that based on any known business model, marketing positioning, casy and margin analysis. No - it's just a good number.
Get real guys it's some ply and a chassis. Ply, screws, handles and paint - $100 tops, 21" Precision Devices 1000 watt chassis - about $700. That's it $800 + labor.
Course delivery's gonna cost you $1000 if it's more than two blocks away!
I love it! I'm in the wrong business if these sell at $2400. Tell me what I'm missing? That I need a dockside warehouse if I make more than 3 a week?

I went and weighed it.
175lbs.
I am thinking about replacing the 12's with neos. Eminence doesnt sell a 16 ohm 12" neo (already contacted them) So I guess my next stop is paragon, or maybe an oem version?
After all the GK 4X12 neo is 4 ohms.
I checked the GK site and they want $180 for their paragon 16 ohm 12" neos.
So yeah, maybe get it down to 135lbs.
I may take some time to strip the tolex off and stain it with some minwax or tung oil. Ditch the other extra fittings and replace the useless handles with a "towel bar" or some folding handles.

No, but the one I have has 2 HL10-C. I don't know how one bigger driver stands against two, smaller drivers, but the HL10-C is 4ohms, and running parallel, with the impedance of the cabinet, it's about 3ohms. I think you can put two 15" drivers in a Titan.
From your earlier posts, you're trying to get the 4 12" drivers to work out at 4 ohms in total, is that correct?
If so, you can do it with 4 ohm or 16 ohm drivers. 4 ohm neos seem fairly common.

A subpar pic of my guitarist, my rig and myself at a recent show. I'll post a better one sometime soon. It's a Peavey Max 700 head with a 2x15 Traynor cab. I want one of those 3620s so bad. My dream rig atm would be 1 3620 and a Peavey 2x15. However, I'm thinking about getting a 2x10 or a 4x10 cab right now.
Am I in?

Very nice!
Okay!
Yep!
Yes. This is the "Big Cabs Club" not the 'big rig club' - look for the 'Rigs of Doom' threads, to see if you qualify there... The 1820 sounds awesome! No, you may not ban yourself - only the King of the Big Cabs Club can do that...
Okay!
Nice, you know what bass is all about!
Very nice.
Yep. I used to wear one of those masks (a "pro-mask") while driving an M1A1 tank......a 2x15 Traynor cab. Am I in?
Very nice.

i sadly enough can't v_V need a 2 ohm amp. i can use 12 of them at once... but just the 1 8x10 should count
