I've read on here that this is a bad set up

Mike Inez blew off my Facebook friend request even after he liked a post of mine on a mutual friend's page. So pfffft on him.

However, he's most certainly powering each type of cab with different amps, and that helps cut phasing issues down a LOT.

It's my understanding he powers the 810s with a couple SVT full tube heads and powers the 118s with SVT Pro4s because they have the crossover.

It's a Genz Benz focus 4x10 & Trace Elliott 15. I just want to know why it's not a good combo?

You should cover those.

I searched Facebook for Mike Inez and only got some lame auto generated musician/band page that isn't even his.

They are covered, I took the genz benz cover off to paint our band logo on it

Nice. It may seem logical to mix cabs but the truth is it's like having different sized tires on a car. Not good. 410's have more surface area. Try 2-410 cabs if you haven't already. It's magic.

For my main gig I use two Ampeg PN-410HLF's (w/SVT 7Pro), but my secondary gig finds me using a GK MB210 and MB115 (w/MB500). I think this combination works much better than a 410 and 115.

Mike Inez takes my 410/118 idea to the next level! LOL

More to the point, you (anybody) have probably never really heard him play through that rig at a show. DI'ed through the PA.

True, but then that was the case when I was using my 410/118 rig too (usually). Now, I run into the PA through an AKG P2 put on one of my lower 10s.

I've always heard that Mike had an SVT/810e under the stage that he mic'ed and ran in conjunction with a DI.

I would like to get another 4x10 cab.

 

[chuck norriss]

If you need to run two cabs then that's the way to go. just my opinion. Also stacking them on top of ea other makes a difference. strange but true

 

[chuck norriss]

or get two 810s and stack them vertically mike inez got it wrong!

Mixing cabs is sort of like mixing drinks. If you must mix...please do it responsibly.

M. M.

I don't know s**t about cabs but it seems obvious to me that 2 of the same cab is better than 2 different ones. I wouldn't mix them up even if I knew less about it.
think about it.

Right... It just seems to make sense huh?. But... for a long time back in the 80's and 90's the 410/115 speaker combo was very popular. And it's a perception that still persists. To this day I have a friend that still plays through a Hartke 410/115 rig. Then again, he still sports a Fu Manchu mustache so what can I say. LOL

See? You actually do know a little bit of **** about cabs.

Does bi-amping also cut down phasing issues?
What does a phasing issue sound like?
From what I understand, certain frequencies are boosted while others may be inaudible; right?
And this can happen without mixing drivers, it's just that it's more likely if you do?
Or, you could have obvious issues in one room, and nothing noticeable in another? Another variable to deal with and consider when ya just want to play music.
Am I grasping this correctly?

Maybe not inaudible but cut down in volume. It varies in intensity. And biamping does cut down on it at least from your rig, if not the room.

Totally.
