Cab with lots of different-sized speakers
- Thread starter rockambo
- Start date
Here's one of the most unique mixed speaker options I've found. 2x15, 2x12, 4x10. And tweeters.
I would imagine this could destroy most anything.
Great for a loud band in a small practice space.
I have to say: this is actually fairly priced considering.

Compared to an 8x10, it's not as big as I would have thought. But it's definitely bigger than my 1x10.
It only weights 70,55 kg / 155,5 lbs, I'm glad it's a "Lightweight construction"
But I'm dissapointed by the sensitivity of 105 dB
By comparison, the GR Bass AT810 weights 22,5 Kg - 49,6 lbs and has a higher sensitivity
Edit: OP it's your lucky day, they are "Ready for shipment immediately, delivery time 1-3 days"
I guess it would look cool in the new White House ballroom

There are two different things being discussed here:
- Multi-driver cabinets with proper crossovers, isolation chambers, and engineering.
- A big box with a bunch of different drivers thrown in
In the late 80's, my compact rig was a single JBL Cabaret series 4628B enclosure(15" D140, plus an 8" and HF horn)…
…powered by a Yamama PB-1 preamp with a crossover, and QSC power amp. The input was either full range, employing an internal passive X-over, or individual ins with the 15 separate then the 8 and horn, which is what I did. Of course. It was the 80's. Nice and clean.

OK, I'm awake, I just had my coffee, and I just remembered these beasties…
Is that how you like it?

Glad to see you're back in the thread.
So why are you looking for this?

The first is sensible, the second just a huge Onanistic exercise.
Stock was an E145.
These are not dissimilar to the surrounds in my HT (custom), nor my main BG rig for about 2 decades.
I ran a biamped pair of those in the early 90s. That is the closest I have come to studio monitor bass.
Entwistle did use some big rigs, but you might be thinking about this one:
This was Lee Sklar's.
A quote from Lee on that rig: "The first time we actually tested it we all threw up and cracked a wall in the warehouse. It was fantastic."
Ooops, that's what I meant, don't know why I had D-140 on the brain. Hadn't had my coffee yet
Me, too. Never had the bottom end that I had hoped for…my guess was that the 18 didn't have enough room in the box. Well, they looked cool, but I cussed every one of those 122 pounds each time I carried them up or down 13 steps by myself…

The 18" driver used wasn't optimized for low frequency extension at the time. No matter how well tuned the box was.
That changed as the BW driver family evolved, but not that driver.
