Big Cabs Club

[FuzzBoxVoodoo]

What was the difference that you noticed by adding the insulation?
I have the same speakers and Cab.

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:

My ex said my rig was too big....

my current GF (gotta ring tucked away for her ) doesn't complain about my stuff....

hmmmm

Dr Bass 2460D (2x12 w/ a 6 and horn) on top of my Bergantino NV215. Looks small, but I'm 6'5" and w/ the amp, it's taller than me .

Well, I got the cab empty as a basket case, so I can't make an accurate comparison, but the cab does have a very "focused" sound to it, if that makes sense, it seems very full in the low mids.

I just got an Ampeg 610hlf...does that count?

 

[musicandenglish]

Tack me on! I have an Ampeg 810E (thru which I run a 73 SVT). Big cabs are the way to go.

Recently refurbished...

The wheels are polished and back on it now and I sold the head last week.

One of my wheels is a little worn,Are they the original speakers in there?
I replaced the square magnet Eminence with 2 of the Eminence Legend CB15's.
I also replaced the side feet with rubber as well.
Nice look with the cloth on the grill.

Not original speakers. I bought it empty. It did have the original grill in decent shape but the wood was broken, so I built a new grill. I put a pair of Madison Warriors that I've had floating around for 3 years in it. Actually only bought it for those speakers. I need to put some insulation in it and tune it a bit as well as I'm looking at tweeters and crossovers and L pads right now just to give a little of what's missing. The Emblem rattles like mad! I'm running it with a BBE Bmax and a 1000w power amp. I like it.

I have no big cabs of my own (yet) because I'm poor and have no need, but those are all beautiful stacks.

I have a few questions for you guys:

How do you get the giant heavy cabs on top of the other giant heavy cabs.

After that's done, how the hell do you get the heavy rack/head on top of that?

How the hell do you get that thing to the gig?

 

[FuzzBoxVoodoo]

Hey HEADLE
I bet it would sound even better with some highs.Im not sure what the Madison Warriors are rated at for a frequency curve but I do have a pair of Madison Executioners in a set of PA Speakes and they lack mid badly so I let my Son use them for his DJ buisness.
I really like the CB Legends in my Cab they have a nice tone and are pretty clear in the mids and highs for 15's

HAHA, even though I never looked like the steroided-out guys at the gym..... I lifted weights obsessively from age 19 to 28, w/ my goal to be as strong as possible. I got my DEEP squat up to 450lbs and my deadlift to 500lbs. I still lift in moderation, high reps now. So, lift weights-- that's how you move these cabs .

BTW, when I bought my NV215, I had to put it in the backseat of my Hyundai, by myself...... not fun!

 

[wallybill]

The obligatory Ampeg 8x10, an Eden 6x10, and the old Fender pyramid cabinet with 4x15. Not to scale, the 6x10 is smaller than the Fender cabinet. I don't know how much they weigh, but they are all freaking heavy. I use a trailer.

Can I join?

Is the Fender a modified 4X12 Bassman, or something incredibly rare? I've seen the 4X12 with the 4 speakers angled but was not aware of a model with 15s.
