Octave, loop / multiple bass, exploding cab syndrome...thoughts?

So! These days I'm doing roughly half standard bass fare, half super effects-heavy loops and ambient stuff with lots of chords and layers of octaves and delay / loops and generally more symphonic, "broad" noises. I've got the required smoke machine and crazy DJ lighting at my disposal. That said: I haven't found a cab that's capable of handling it, even at lower volume levels, without speaker damage sooner than later. I know, I know: I'm a dummy, it's sacrilege, I should stay in my lane, etc. I don't believe in lanes however. I'm looking for realistic advice if anyone has any.

Should I just start using a PA system? I'd love one rig, like I've always had, head and speaker enclosure and good to go. And primarily I still need to thump out low end. But willing to take any wise bits of wisdom anyone has to this end.

Get a fEarful 15/6 . Build one or get a fEarless from an authorized builder . Should be able to take whatever you throw at it .

....Yeah! Wow...I'm glancingly familiar with the brand name but this is exactly the language I've been babbling to myself. Many thanks. That definitely pumps the GAS a bit...I shall investigate :bookworm:

Anyone have experience with fEarless? Starting to feel October's rent money becoming uncomfortably warm in my pocket...
