Hiya Chupacerveza.
Thx for checking yours out for me. I appreciate it.
Had a gig tonight and tried it again...with the same result. In order to not get a crack, I have to unplug the cable and then the bass. If I just unplug the bass, I get a crack.
And yes the mute button was on and both knobs were at zero. And I wasn’t shorting the tip.
Anyways, it’s not a big deal. I know how to do it so it doesn’t crack. That’s the important part. Just weird that mine does it and the others don’t...

I would think the standard approach would just be to power the R500c and run the signal FX Send -> FX Recv.

Well, my Rumble Friends, through an interesting turn of events, I have ended up Rumble-less.
I'm afraid I must relinquish my number.

Well gang, I FINALLY got to test out my HPF in one of the boomy winery rooms we play.
I played one set with the HPF, EQ flat. HPF dial set to “until I can hear it kick in, then dial it back a little.” The next set I shut it off, set EQ to: B 9:00, (LM, HM, T @ 12) Important note: Both sets vintage off, where I have used vintage “on” in this room in the past.
Set 1 was definitely less boomy. Warm and rich, almost like a reggae tone with a little more top end. Set 2 was also less boomy (than previous gigs) with clarity, punch and grind. I think cutting the bass lets the mids come through...
Maybe it’s because I wanted it to, but I almost think set 2 sounded better. Maybe it’s because I’m just used to Those settings, and it just sounded “normal” again. I’ve had reservations about the extra chords and power supply anyway.
so I didn’t find the HPF to be a magic carpet ride. But it’s in my tool box now if I ever need it for a different scenario!
PS: vintage off has been a smashing success! I’m hooked! I just add a touch more gain to make up for the volume drop
PPS: I love the OD mute! Use it every gig

The amount of variations is dizzying. Not saying I won’t play around with it, but the whole point of me getting the HPF was to beat boom in this room (and those like it.) and I feel like I did it with tweaking the Rumble settings alone. I value simplicity- p bass + rumble, plug n play baby!
Awww, I'm sorry to hear that, A-a-ron.
But, don't worry, it could just be a temporary condition. You could land on your feet with another Rumble before you know it! 
Tell us about the interesting turn of events!At any rate, Rumble numbers are unrelinquishable, non-refundable, irrevocable and not void even where prohibited! Consider them tattooed into your soul! Once a Rumbler, always a Rumbler. It is the Hotel California of TB clubs: "You can check-in anytime you like, but you can never leave."
So, don't be a stranger. Drop us a line, now and then!

I'm continuing the vintage off experiment and for my normal band, it's working fine. I, too, add a little more gain than usual and have LM and HM @ 2ish. For the outdoor Sunday jam, I may hafta use V-on, but didn't do that gig today. Maybe next week. The OD mute is pretty much permanent.Well gang, I FINALLY got to test out my HPF in one of the boomy winery rooms we play.

Don't leave us hangin'. Fill us in.
Thanks again G-Dog! I appreciate you sir.
After playing through the "modified" 4x8, unfortunately I'm going to return it.
#1, its about 4.5 lbs heavier than the original cab design with neo's.
#2, I really would like an 8ohm cab to pair with my 8ohm 112.
#3, Im not digging the tone/sound. To my layman's ears it just sounds boxy and thin with the replacement drivers.
I think I could have gotten over #1 and #2 if #3 would have been more in my wheel house.
Does anyone know where I can get the original part number for the OEM speakers to the Rumble 2x8 Cab?
