Fender Rumble Club

^^^Correctamundo!^^^ We :cool: Rumble On! :cool: Never do we dis or unRumble. :blackeye: It simply isn't done! :eyebrow:
Quote of the day right here. One of the top in Rumbledom, I'm sure.

210 + 210. No argument against this configuration. In the Rumble line you get the exact same drivers in the exact same diagonal array. Stack one on top of the other and you get the much vaunted cabinet coupling effect. All good. Nothing bad.
Why even think about a 115? Why? Because you like it! You don't need any other reason. But if you need some; 15" woofers give you broader dispersion of air moved and attendant sound waves. The bigger the woofer the smoother the midrange. 15s are magic in the smooth well dispersed mids department. If you've not seriously listened to some superb 15" woofers lately, I strongly suggest you do so. Inexpensive as they may be, the custom designed Eminence 15" drivers are nothing short of spectacular. This why I would rather have a Rumble 500 head + a pair of Rumble 115 cabinets as opposed to any 210+210 arrangement. Maximum SPL and amount of air moved will be almost identical. Tone will not. 15s for me please.
Well said!!
 
Rumble 500 combo extension cabinet 210 or 115? Which would you go with?
I actually went with a 3rd option...the separate 500 head and 210. At the time I already had a Combo, didn't want two and wanted the flexibility of swapping cab's or heads should I ever want to. I recently added a second 210...BOOM.
 
Considering the way you spell "Linnin", your Russian is surprisingly good.:smug:
Da Comrade! Is Pravda :woot:
The true story behind the Linnin moniker is as follows. After an especially productive night of improvisation recorded on the fly at my now sadly deceased best friend's studio in Richmond, we were naming each piece. Mike (a.k.a. Turbo-Fish) came up with the title Linnin for a piece built around an original bass ostinato of mine. A simple play on the fine cloth known as linen. I've been Linnin ever since, and it's on my license plates. Before that we had a somewhat fictional band named Poom DaDa and the Soundies. It was an ad hoc all original ensemble made up of various local musicians. It was considered a high honor to be deemed good enough to be a Soundie. Poom DaDa was the actual band/group and not a real person. As time went by people began calling me Der Poomer! And so it was, but I am Linnin now. Not a commie, but I am a lefty. Just not a leftist. Sadly all the original music files & hard copy recordings were trashed after Mike's sudden heart failure. I have a few pieces, but not that many. Certainly not 20+ years worth of material.

Funny stuff(except for the deceased part). Sounds like it was a shipload of good times.
 
I love the 115!!:hyper:
DITTO!

Got the 115 delivered today.
Plugged in my 800...WOWZER!!! More than I hoped for!
After multiple A / B checks, my observation is that the 15 really makes a very significant (HUGE) difference in overall depth and tone. Even at lower volumes. WOW! Excellent investment. Now, on to new grill cloth, corners and also mandatory is a new logo plate to match.

Still no decision on silver or black, but they will eventually match.
Will then also rotate the 800 90 degrees for a great looking stack!
