Updated pic of my rig. From top to bottom: ART Pro Channel, Crown XLS 1500, BBE BMAX, and my LDS 15/6.5 cab.

Link Removed

That's a nice looking rig (as is chef's multi LDS 8s, and many others).

Which pre do you prefer? The ART tube or the BBE ss? Or do you use them both (effects chain)?
I'd imagine you are running the XLS in bridged mode for 1,050w into 8ohms?

Again, Nice!

I cant wait til my LDS 1x15 cab is done!! it should be any day now... just waiting for the call

My LDS 1-12s will be ready soon too. Don's just putting the finishing touches on. He says they should weigh between 25 to 28LBS, which I am very happy about for a full size 20 x 16 x 16 3012HO loaded cab. No tweeters help with weight reduction. I have no use for tweeters anyway!

Count me among the tweeterless hordes. The 18Sound mid in my 15/6 supplies all the highs and mids I want.

I saw them on the bench last week when I picked up my 215/tweeter cab. They looked great ! I like tweeters, but, to each his own.

Most tweets in bass cabs are pretty crappy and are connected thru pretty crappy xover components. The results are about what you'd expect taking all that into account.

If quality parts are used its a horse of a different color IMO.

foz: correct.

i never really had a cab with a horn i like til i started using don's stuff.

Right now, I'm really preferring the BBE pre. I may need to do more experimenting with the ART. Yes, I'm running the Crown bridged into my 8 ohm cab.

Don said my cab is up this week. Generally how long does it take once he starts working on you cab? Just curious...

I got the call from Don this past Tuesday that he was assembling my box the next day, spraying it over the next few days, installing electronics on Tuesday and hopes to ship this coming Wednesday. I'm really looking forward to it!

Nice! when did you place your order?

The middle of March, I think.

More than six weeks thus far waiting for my Monster, paid in full when ordered. If anyone is interested in an LDS-built fEarful Monster (2x15, 2x6.5, tweet), I'll probably cancel the order on Monday, and it might be available...soon. I get what I need from my 4x8, as the previous 6 weeks of using it have demonstrated.

If I didn't have a 15-6 I'd be all over this. There's an old barn next door that needs demolishing........

what are the specs and price of your build. I'm sure some lucky bassist will assume your place in line.

 

[CDweller]

Exactly as per the fEarful plans. Contact Don for price.

I just got a call from Don and he says he is close to finishing my cab!! I cant wait...
