My Bass Rig... what ya think?

Peavey Mark VIII, 2 Acme B4 cabs, Aria Pro II SB Elite II, Jazz Bass, SX Jazz, Spector NS2000 fretless (behind the cab), And a Spector NS2A (that in the process of a new fretjob and paint.)
 
Yup, pretty sweet!

I have two questions:

Do you find yourself EQing those cabs a lot? I understand they're pretty flat, like studio monitors almost. Do you bump up the low mids, and/or scoop out a lot of higher mids?

And: Do you get the volume you want? I heard they need a lot of watts.

Nice stuff ... But I would get a better bass head. I just played through one of those heads recently. It has sort of an atomic 70s sound to it. They have really improved transistors since that head was built.
