Fearful Part 14: one better than 13!

[MSUsousaphone]

I kept hearing 410 compared to the SPL on a 15/6.....but both my 15/6s are WAY louder than any 410s I've ever come across.....like....a lot.

Mine too

...I was sold on the 12/6 when I read it can nearly replace a 4x10 as far as volume and presence...

I've owned two 4x10s. I can't say that a single 12/6 is "as loud", but I can say the 12/6 sounds "bigger" with the same amp, bass and settings.

My 1st 12/6 replaced a 4 ohm Acme B2. NO comparison!

My 66 is louder than my old 410. It is also louder than my two 100W 412 guitar players, my death metal singer through a nice 8 CH 300W PA which also powers my drummer with triggered and mic'd kick and snare who is set up on a 18" riser. And I'm only using one channel of the BX1500.

I've told this story before, but at a recent gig in England a buddy brought his 15/6 for me to play thru. I had a rented backline (popular, top of the line 410 on top of a 115). The 15/6 had deeper lows, carried the room better and I could hear myself way better...it also weighed over 100lbs less than the rented backline

Well, kids... it took more than a year, but I'm finally the proud owner of a 15/6/1 and a 12/6/1cube:

Awesome stack, and well planned and executed. Modular is pretty smart to cover all your needs...congrats!

Nice rig! I favor that cab setup, myself.

I'm using a 15/6/1 and 15sub...was about to build a 12/6cube to stack for this upcoming Legendary ShackShakers tour, but it appears that the 3012's are temporarily out of stock at Lelands place...now we play the waiting game

So, last night I discovered another horrible mystery sound. Fortunately, it was easy to solve. Turns out that the uber-light TecAmp Puma 900 atop my cabinet will hop around and create an awesome buzzing sound. Wondering if this is prevalent in the wooden cabs, or if this is a composite issue. I'm assuming it would be, but wondering if the damping qualities of wood are any different.

The easy solution is to take the head off the cab. I'm considering some foam-pad shelf lining, or a chunk of yoga mat to go between the head and cab. I don't know if the head will generate heat issues with that padding though.

Regardless, the Puma 15/6 combo rocks my socks! Great sound and flexibility of tone.

Awesome combo! I don't think heating will be an issue...foam between the amp and cab is a very good thing to do...those little 15/6's put out so much...everything

Costco makes a poly foam mat that is absolutely perfect for this purpose. It's about 8 bucks. Kitchen mat it's called I think.

Thanks! I'm lovin' it!

Yep - you were the first person I'd seen with a 12/6 atop a 15/6... got me thinking.

I tried out the 15/6 and 15sub (wow!), but this stack really suits me better.

Got my sub done and took pictures today . Haven't even tried it out yet but I did use my 15/6 at practice Wednesday for the first time with my band . Didn't have to change a thing with my EQ or anything , sounded very clear , deep and smooth . More volume than I will ever need with my band so I guess I didn't really need the sub but it should be cool .

Really nice work. Those grills are bad ass.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Nice stacks!

My AoN 15 sub should be here soon. Too bad some fool blew up my head when I let him use it at a gig...

I'll be using my Aggie backup rig in the mean time (I know, first world problems:scowl:).

 

[Blues Bass 2]

Thanks . The grills are Aluminum and are pretty strong and very light . Got them from Don at Barry Audio .

This is the cab of which you speak.

Do you mind if I use that shot in my "fEARful Phenomenon" story? We should be wrapping up the final tweaks to issue #8 this week.

Thanks, Tom.

Tom its not my cab! I was just excited about a 39 pound 215. Contact Mike Arnopol, as he is the builder/photographer of that cab.
