Is this too much Doom????

[LOCOPELAND]

Unless you tune to A and play doom. Then above 1khz is pointless and being overun by the guitar anyways.

Damn right!

+1!

Or you could bi-amp and run a nice Midrange compression driver for 2-4k. Community makes some that will cut like a laser.
That would be the ultimate "smile curve" rig!

As long as it sounds good to me, doesn't fart out on a low A# and is in my budget.

Damn right!

Exactly. The OP says it right here, " low A#".

As long as you have some help with those cabs, shouldn't be an issue. Don't want to give yourself a hernia.

Be sure to wear protection!



















Ear protection!

You could take out the LPF's and have some awesome full range bass cabs. I think those would be awesome for doom.

 

[Munjibunga]

I think there has been a huge resurgence in the relevance of doom due to the impending event coming on December 21st.

There's no money above 1kHz.

Doom goes the dynamite.

-3dB point is above the E string. -10dB point is *at* the E string. No doom here, folks.

Second: Great efficiency, but max SPL for this driver count/size and this cab size/weight is nothing to write home about.

Also look at the porting.

This one gives me a strong case of Meh. I'm just sayin'.....

If the seller throws in a free five-year supply of Motrin, then go for it!

 

[dave64o]

Cool, it's 8 ohms. If that's not enough you could always add a second one!

When I saw Om, Al Cisneros had a pair of (full range) 4x15's as well as a pair of 4x12's. I'd call this a good start.

More importantly, what local bands play doom?!?! Wasn't aware of any W WA doomers, Melvins aside.

 

[Ragoo]

My back hurts from just THINKING of hauling those beasts around...
But eight 15-inch speakers? Seems worth it. Maybe it'll vibrate the guitard's 15 watt tube combo off stage .

-10 dB @40 Hz. And that's advertised! Doom free.

 

[Balog]

How can they call them subs if they're that weak at 40hz? Crazy...

 

[majortoby]

I'd remove the lpf, and rock em full range! I'm sure they'd more than suffice for OP's goals.

I actually don't even play "Doom" music. I do play heavy downtuned stuff with a little groove. Some of it pretty slow, most probably in the mid-tempo range. Don't even have a band yet............YET.

I like the cat food bowl right in front of it....
