NA SAYERS

A lot of 410 on 115 users have never actually heard what the 115 is doing. They get a giant earful of a very much louder 410 and dig it immensely.
Not if you put the 115 on top.

Mix ported & sealed, mix 115 and 410s, put the 115 on top and, despite the cab police thrashing around so much they're snapping their own bones, there's not a dry seat in the house.
 
Most of us have never said that mixing cabs CAN'T work. We have said two things.

1) It's a crapshoot. So ORDERING mixed cabs, or a second cab that isn't identical to your first, CAN be a waste of money because.....
2) Sometimes it sounds like garbage.

If it works for you, fine. :thumbsup:

No need to get a chip on your shoulder over it. Play whatever makes you grin.
Key word: crapshoot.

Stainless steel was invented by a guy (Harry Brearley) looking for a better steel for gun barrels. When he looked at his pile of rejects sitting in the rain one day he noticed one didn't rust. And the rest is history.

You can have a happy accident using a Madison cabinet. But, there is also durability and practicality to consider. There is nothing worse than creating something that sounds REALLY GREAT, except it's held together by duct tape and you don't dare move it. As I've aged I've learned to go with what's on the shelf...
 
did you guys ever see that scene in braveheart when longshank's son's boyfriend tries to give him advice?

Longshank's: "Wallace is on the move he's sacked (forgot where)"

boyfriend: "he must be stopped! you must..."

Shanks: "whoith is this little f'n twerpith whoith telling the King how to protect his Crown?"

Son: this is Phillip, I have made him my "special assistant "

Shanks: "no shizz. *** doith you knowith about combat?"

Phillip: "I am skilled in the arts of waaaaaaaar, and battlefield tactics "

then Longshanks throws him out the window
 
I love my mixed cabs!

FWIW, the Seismic 210 isn't all that bad. If I had two I'd rock a vertical 410 for smaller stuff. I was actually impressed by that little cab; but for the show I did this past Saturday I just ran with the 400 into the fridge. It rocked...
