Mini Rigs of Doom Four

[banditcosmo]

By the way, the Veloster has gobs of room and is not just for mini rigs. If y'all will excuse me going a bit off topic, check out how much room is available in the Veloster Turbo:

That's a Fender 6x10, with a Super Bassman head in front of it. I could have easily fit an 8x10 (and then put the head in the front seat). I also have two basses (could have fit more), a GRAMMA pad, stands, wireless, camera bag, backup head (Markbass Big Bang) and more, and I still had room for a passenger!

Awesome !!!

I can fit my TC115 in the back with the back hatch cover on and the back seats up. Really good room in these cars for looking so small.

Yeah, I've been using the AudioKinesis Hathor (which is about the same size at the TC115) at practice a lot, and it disappears with room to spare in the back (with the seats up).

Mini Rig Of Doom.

GB Streamliner 600
Schroeder 15L cab.

It sounds sweet, plenty of power, easy to move.

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

Love these little cabs, but you're amp is about twice the power of what they can take, right? Do you just not let the knobs get past noon?

And its cardboard brother (also in action):

Nice to see markbass branching out into more solid cabinet designs...looks like a winner!

What does knob position have to do with power output?

How about this. I'll admit to knowing nothing of electrical engineering if you explain how to safely run 400 watts into a 200 watt speaker since it apparently doesn't involve knobs. I asked the question because I'm interested in a similar setup but don't want to ruin any speakers due to my obvious ignorance.

Just dont dime the amp, And if you start to hear some farting out, dial it back

Yes, but do the seats recline after all the stuff you put in the back??

 

[GRAHAM SG1]

Is it my imagination or are these `mini rigs of doom` getting bigger ?

I am thinking of getting a Barefaced Midget for those times when I cant be bothered to haul my Super Twelve around-oh how we are spoiled these days

You really can't - you'll always be one accident away from needing new drivers . Dunno about yous guys but having a dirty jack or the cord come loose from the bass causes a full power buzz on my rigs.

First, I'll apologize for my sarcasm (or whatever it was). Beyond that, you don't have to try to use all 400 watts. If you listen for signs of distress (can't really watch for 'em with Ampeg's pretty grill cloth), don't boost the low end too much (or hammer on the B string of a 5-string bass) and don't expect too much out of a sealed 2x10, I wouldn't worry.

You'll probably cringe when I tell you that I routinely drive 200W speakers with amps rated to deliver more than 1000W at quiet gigs and rehearsals. I've also driven high performance cars without exceeding the speed limit. It's mostly about paying attention and using common sense; act a fool, and you'll be replacing fried drivers/getting speeding tickets.

Keep in mind that (1) loudspeaker power ratings are largely meaningless; and (2) doubling the power of an amplifier results in a 3dB increase in SPL. To make your speakers play twice as loud (a 10dB increase) requires ten times the power.

Hope this helps.

Assuming you play a 5 string....how do the 12's handle the low B?

I have two DB112's and play a 6 string through them and it sounds fantastic.

 

[Pedulla-Player]

Here is my new mini GK rig of doom. Fusion 550 and two GK Neo 112-II cabs. I don't miss my old big cabs in the least. This thing sounds sweet! I guess the head wouldn't be considered mini since it's not a 'Micro' head , but the cabs sure are at 30 Lbs each.

 

[mc_muench]

My new mini rig of DOOM...okay so the head and the cab both weight around 40lbs each so not very mini to some, but definitely mini compare to my big 4x15 stack of DOOM. Plus I play doom music out of it everyday.

Oooh, we can do that?




JK!

My rig. I can carry altogheter the bass, the amp and the EUB. Since we own our FOH, I don't need more. I ran a submix from the console with vocals and guitars in the aux in of my amp, so it serves also as a monitor.

 

[baskruit]

EBS Reidmar
EBS Neoline 110
EBS Neoline 112.

60lbs total. No more amp-GAS for me.

 

[BassAgent]

So yesterday I tried my Dynacord Eminent I amp on my Aggie DB112 cab. That sounded pretty darn good. So now I have two mini rigs.
