You might try one of fdeck's high pass filter units (HPF); it does a great job of filtering out un-needed sub bass to keep your speaker from jumping out of the box like that.....

Mini Rigs of Doom Four
- Thread starter Chef
- Start date
Hi Chef, I assume you were talking about my Workingman's 10? Yeah, I suppose I could try something lke that, however, if I need to get that loud I just use one of my other rigs. The MB200/210XL isn't that much more to carry. As long as you keep the volume reasonable, the SWR sounds great. I originally used the 210XL as an extension for the SWR. I stacked them vertically. Problem there was the SWR 10 lost it long before the 210XL. At that point I was looking for solutions (upgrade speaker, etc) but then I had a little extra cash so I picked up the GK MB200 head.
My main rig years ago was a GK400RB with a Peavey 1810, so any of these seem like feathers in comparison

Here is a pic of my mini rig. It can be "minier" with just one cab, though...

I don't think I've ever posted, so I've got a couple mini rigs I'll throw in!
5sg.
Ampeg PF500 / PF115
Shuttle 6 / Avatar B210 Neo
(I didn't realize how old this pic was until I saw my board. Still have the rig, but that board is like eleventy hundred versions ago. lol)
Epiphone Valve Jr. with an Ampeg PF115
(not super loud of course, but a great grindy rock tone)
And this one probably doesn't count since the amp weighs 62lbs., but it's only 100 watts and OMG tube tone for DAAAAYYYSSS...
1974 Ampeg V4B with the Avatar B210

I think my new DIY rig qualifies for the club. I've used it at two gigs now. One indoors in a club and one outdoors. It sounded great in both scenarios, and when placed on the side of the stage, it's much more FOH friendly than my 2x10/1x15 behemoth I was hauling around. The new one is a 2x12 floor wedge, weighs in at 42 pounds and is a breeze to carry. Plenty of bottom & plenty of punch. I put feet on the back as well, so if the stage is really small, it can fire almost straight up.
Nice!
Although, at first glance, it looks like a cheap car sub
What kind of speakers are in there? Tuning frequency?

Yes it does! Keeps the uneducated away! They're Eminence drivers, Delta 12 LFA's. 44 to 3 is their range. I'm not a fan of tweeters in bass amps and I play a P with flats, so the tone works for me, probably not for a lot of the newer guys into distortion or the "Scoopy McSlaperstein" guys out there, to borrow a phrase from Jimmy M. I'm old school and I want my bass to sound like a bass. But hey, that's just my thing. I love Geddy, and it only took me about 25 years to figure out I wasn't him and my band wasn't Rush. I've been living happily ever after since I read Sundogue's post about being a flat wound convert...
Thanks for explaining! No need for tweeters here either, since I play Rock'n'Roll only. I'm alternating between flats and rounds to keep it interesting (plus hybrid and synthetic strings on the DB).

Another mini killer! Really digging this combo at the moment. It's got a great old meets new vibe to it.

New MRD for me. Used Markbass F1 bought here on TB + Traynor TC 112from local L&M. Sounds great, plenty loud, 30 lbs, ~$840 CDN.

Loving mine! GK MB800 and Ampeg SVT 210AV.
Got a second cab to go with it when the need arises!

What is the lower cabinet?
Behind me is 900 watts of booty shakin' power! Only weighs 75 pounds so that's a 12 watt per pound ratio!

I've shown up to gigs with my GB Streamliner 900 and a single Ampeg SVT210HE before, and had the FOH guys look at me like, "really?"
Their tune changes dramatically when I plug the little bastard in and fire it up!
Another funny MROD anecdote: I played a gig in a 2000 capacity room not too long ago. My band was the opener, and we were sharing some backline elements with the headliner. Their bassist offered up his 2000w dual-8x10 rig for me. I politely declined in favor of my GB and 2xSVT210HEs. After our set, he informed me that his rig is now for sale.

It's an AccuGroove Tri112. This is confirmed by a quick check of his public profile which tells us:
cabs:
Tecamp M212
Accugroove Tri112 x 2
