Junk in the trunk...

[TraceOnBass]

I have a Markbass 102P combo that will NOT fit in the back seat or trunk of my 08 Civic. It will fit the front seat then I can put the seat all the way down and "roll" it into the back if I have a passenger... But it requires to remove the headrest. I have a MB 104HF (4x10) on the way so it should be interesting.

I also have 100% access to my wife's GMC Envoy...

I have a 2009 Civic and my GK Neo 212-II fits in the trunk. I use that cab for even very large gigs playing corporate rock but I always have adequate PA support.

First off hello all - been enjoying this forum for years, glad to finally join up.

So I have a 2008 Honda Civic (excellent car btw considering gas prices) my only issue is trunk space (Cargo Volume (cu ft) 12.5) and with the rear seats down I still have a potential clearance issue with a deep amp.

So my 4x10 and B2R Ampeg (racked) or my beasty Acoustic 136 are not an option to haul to solo gigs (they stay in the band trailer).

What does the forum recommend? I need to fill med-large rooms, and house sound is not always reliable or available so running DI to boost my signal is a 50/50 deal.

I use a 60's Road Worn Fender Jazz and REALLY dig a blend between the 4x10 & B2R Ampeg / Acoustic 136.

A/B'ing those to run in tandem is heavenly.

My budget is about $800-$1200 - thanks to all!

You might think about a pair of G-K 212MBEs. My 1990 Accord is probably not much larger than your 2008 Civic. I searched awhile (!) and found that these are among the few cabs that would fit in the Accord along with my bass, etc. A pair of 2x10s are also a possibility.

I used to schlep an Ampeg SVT-15E plus 210HE, but the 212MBEs are half the weight, fit your budget, plus they stack well vertically for that 1x4 dispersion advantage. One indoors, two outdoors, seem to be enough without house sound. ShuttleMAX12. I'd suggest 8 ohms. Mine are 4.

Cheers!
