Fender Rumble Club

I'm dying to hear the rumble 500c stacked on the rumble 410 cab in a large gig environment;It (JUST MAYBE) my ultimate rig.40yrs ago a real bassplayer wouldn't be caught dead playing out of 10s,Technology has changed so much.
Oh, yes. I remember when it as all 15s, 12s were suspect, and 10s were guitar speakers - couldn't handle the lows.
Some were going for 18s, but I didn't like them. I was strictly a 15s guy.

Are you sure? Were the individual speakers mismatched, I would agee; however, in this case, wouldn't each speaker receive an equal amount of power. With 4, wouldn't each get 25% of the power and with 6 each would get 16.66%?
I'm not an expert on this at all, but that is what I think.
No. The 2x10's in the combo get 50% of the power or 250 watts. The other 250 watts go into whatever 8 ohm cabinet is plugged in. With no extension speaker cabinet connected the 2x10's in the combo would get 100% of the power at 8 ohms which is 350 watts.

I think half power would go to the cab and half to the combo. The speakers in the combo might be working twice as hard as the ones in the cab? Not an expert either. :)

edit: Linnin can type faster!:D

+1!!!! I'm in my 60's, never would have thought about playing out of 10's back then! It was 15's or bust....maybe 12's. Technology has come such a long way.
 
10-4! Next generation It will be 8s & they'll be making fun about our gear.
I love my Eminence Neo 12's. The 8's were good but just didn't sell. Ditto the SWR Henry 8x8 and also the uber expensive Genz-Benz Uber 1288 ( a 12' neo with a pair of 8" neos). The Fender Rumble V2 Neo stack of a 208 cab on top of a 112 cabinet was an excellent combination every bit as good as the much more expensive and much heavier G-B Uber 1288. The future is bright with promise.

Yes you have! Rumble V2 combos were released during Winter NAMM 2010. The following year the V2 Rumble 150 and 350 heads were released along with a 4 ohm Rumble 410 cabinet, and also a specially designed lightweight stack of 2x8 and 112 Eminence neos. Both the Rumble 208 & 112 cabinets were identical in size and built at Fender Ensenada, Mexico and the woofers manufactured by Eminence in Eminence, Kentucky, U.S.A. They were $400 a piece and were the lowest priced high quality neo cabinets on the market. They didn't meet Fender's sales expectations and were discontinued when the new V3 Rumble line was released during Winter NAMM 2014.

Thanks for helping to enlighten an old caveman to the 2000s.(blast from the past).
 
Just wanted to check in and say ive been using the r 200 exclusively for about a year , still lovin it and just ordered r 40 at musicians friend. Thinkin can use at church,rehersals,keep in the livin room to noodle on,maybe use at gigs along with the 200 together with a stand for a monitor to me or stack on top. Merry Christmas to me and all you bass kindred folk!

The problem with this compination is that the 2x10 will start to fart way before the 4x10 begins to work,and you are not be able to hear it when this happens.
Yep - the 10s in the 210 will each see twice as much power vs. the 410 drivers. Using 500W as an example, each cab will receive 250W, which means 125W per 10 in the 210 cab, but only 63W per in the 410 (single drivers, such as 112 or 115, would receive the full 250W).

Cheers,
