Low Down Sound NCD

[PBFACTOR]

NCD (a few days ago). Don killed it. 6x10, neo (deltalites), 70lbs, tiltback casters and top handle, side handles, top and bottom shelf port, 36x24x16 and "cloth" grill with piping.

Great looking cab! I love the quality of Don's builds.

What does a cab of this nature cost??? If you are allowed to say, that is.

 

[wave rider]

Very handsome cab, how does it sound?

=wr=

 

[PBFACTOR]

Sounds full and projects well. Played it for 5 hours on saturday with 2 different bands.

What amp are you running with it?

 

[PBFACTOR]

What amp are you running with it?

A Tc rh750 and an svt cl.

 

[Tractorr]

How would you describe the sound? Can you compare it to any other cab?

 

[CL400Peavey]

A Tc rh750 and an svt cl.

The cab is 5.3 Ohms?

 

[PBFACTOR]

The cab is 5.3 Ohms?

It is 5.3 ohms.

 

[Tractorr]

It is 5.3 ohms.

Keep the volume real low on the SVT then.

It's tight and full. Projects really well. Deeper and fuller sounding than the Schroeder 6x10 I had. The lds is ported much better. You can hear and feel every note.

Why?

Why?

Tube amps dont like to run a load higher than what their OT's are rated for.

From an EE buddy.

When you run a tube head into a higher impedance you end up generating flyback voltage on the primary side of the OT. Depending upon the severity of the mismatch the flyback can cause arcing and potential output tube and or OT death from very large voltages. Usually a 2:1 mismatch is okay but 4 to 8 is the worse mismatch as compared to 8 to 4 for example. If 4 to 8 was the better mismatch then an infinite load on the secondary would be okay but anyone who has a tube amp knows that results in instant OT death if you try to put any kind of output power into the infinite load. Conversely this is why Fender put shorting output jacks on all of their amps back in the day in case someone tried to play without a speaker load. Its better to short the output of a tube amp as compared to leaving it open.

So if I have a cab that is 5.3 ohms and my amp is switchable to 4 or 8 ohms, I should put the amp on 8? I have been told in my case it doesn't matter.

Nice cab man! Looks great and I'll bet it sounds just awsome. Don is the best.

That is how I would run it.
