Here is my pair of GK 412's. I bought them used and a bit beat up. Stripped the tolex had them sprayed with line-x. Replaced all of the hardware and recovered the grills.

WOW man those look nice! I've been wondering what my PV's would look like in that ampeg cloth. They already came factory with that sort of spray on rubbery stuff.

Lets see how these look:
Ok......see you all later...........................

Nice!

oh no... somehow in the list... i got missed.

sold my peavey 810 to pay for my ampeg 810-e.
i think that qualifies as large enough, doesn't it?

(going to put spring loaded handles on the bottom for easy transport up and down stairs)

the guitard in one of my bands hasn't even seen it yet (we've been on hiatus) and is going to freak out when he sees it (he tends to do that any time i get new gear... which is more often than i probably should.)

I just tried out the big Sunn cab in the warehouse where my band rehearses. It was very punchy but wasn't that big on the bottom end, which surprised me. I thought maybe it was a guitar cab, but we were playing at fairly high volume and I didn't hear any speaker farting, so I'm not sure.
 
I remember seeing one of those at my local Music Go Round store perhaps 7 - 8 years ago. How well do the highs from the 8s (they're 8s right?) match with the lows from the Vega 18?

Yup, they're 8s. I'm not sure how they sound to the crowd but standing 2 feet in front of it, its a good balance. I played through an Ampeg 8x10 and compared to that it the highs seem a little more brittle and thin (which isn't too bad for popping actually), but the 18 gets those ground shaking fundamentals like no other. I wish I could compare it to one of those Rickenbacker Transonics with the massive 30" driver, but I haven't seen any in person. I prefer these 8"ers over a tweeter, but that's just my opinion. My ears dig the vintage/Motown sound.

Man that really is a nice cab. I would sure like to come across one of those folded cabs sometime...
