Fender Rumble Club

OK, slightly off topic. Rumble 800 head. Starting to like this thing more and more. Very nice. Ears hurt, need a bigger room

The j-bass sounds incredible through it, hell so does every bass I have. I can't remember the strings I bought for the MusicMaster but they have a piano type tone. Hell of an amp. I think I'll keep the 500 hd, just in case.

Man, now is the time to get this beast at the Musicians Friend price of 500 bucks, worth every penny. Negotiate, negotiate BAM. Use your inner spice weasel.

Wait, you asked about a 4x10" & they think you're referring to a combo amp?

Sure, but why would the drivers be much different? Both ported cabinets right? And they do come in 4, 8 and 16 ohms.

And like I said, send Eminence a note and they're happy to reply.

I think the drivers in the 500 combo are different from the ones in the 4x10", just based on Impedance.
The two in the combo equal 8 Ohms total. What is the total Impedance of the 4x10"?
If it's 4 Ohms, then they're likely the same drivers.

I asked Eminence about speaker replacement in the 2x10. They suggested these: Speaker Detail | Eminence Speaker and said it's a bit of an upgrade over stock (larger voice coil and magnets).

THis is what they told me too. I have a pair of them on the shelf for when or if, I blow one the Fender drivers again.

MF lists it for $599

Oh come, put them in and let us know!

The Rumble 410 has a total impedance of 8 ohms.
Each speaker of my 500C has an impedance of 16 ohms, I don't know about the 410.

The Eminence Delta 10B has an impedance of 16 ohms and the Delta 10A 8 ohms (and slightly other different specifications as well).

2 10Bs wired in parallel in the 2x10 combo/cabinet would give a total impedance of 8 ohms.
4 10A's wired in series/parallel in the 4x10 cabinet (2 pairs of speakers wired in serial and those pairs wired in parallel) as well:

You may get your wish, sounds like my freebie replacement driver from Fender is starting to go. Never drove it hard or anything, buty the Tech from Fender did tell me he pulled it from a dead unit on his bench and sent it to me free. So I don't know it's history before I got it.

I have 2 of the 210 cabs. So my older cab may get the new drivers soon and I can A/B them and run them together to see how it sounds. 2nd cab could very well end up with the new Delta's too. Then no fear of using that new 800 head with these cabs then, lol

Ah, so it is indeed not the same driver, the Impedances are different.

That would be my guess. I don't think you can wire 4 16 ohm speakers any way to get a total impedance of 8 ohms.

 

[Killed_by_Death]

There's only 3 options when using 4 drivers:
four times the Impedance - all drivers in series
exactly the same Impedance - series/parallel
1/4 of the Impedance - all drivers in parallel

Right. In theory you could also wire 3 in series/1 parallel or vice verse but for (equal) power distribution that would make no sense.

Got some more pics of my rumble with my new bass... they are the best match!

 

[ClassicJazz]

Kenny is ready to Rumble with the re-born ‘72 Jazz now sporting Nordstrand pickups. Sounds amazing!

 

[postalflunkie]

Keep the volume at a reasonable volume, don't want to kill Kenny with that thing

Plays right, shoots left. Go Bruins!

 

[Kipp Harrington]

Plays just right. Shoots wherever it wants. Go Pens!!!

 

[GonePlaid]

Plays perfect, hardly gets to go out at all(too much for the rooms we play). Go Panthers[next year?]

Amazing how the Rumbles are so light and sound so darn good. Have a Rumble 40 for practice. Will be checking out the Rumble 200 for indoor/outdoor venues. Not only does it sound great, I can pick it up myself.

yeah, the light weightness of them is practically supernatural. the rumble 40 is so light that i can drag it around, and ditto the 100. i went for the 40 because i don't play anywhere right now but my livingroom, and i'm quite happy with it.
