Killer custom. From the BF FB page.

You're lucky we have very tight gun control over here in the UK or I'd be taking aim right now! ;)

To put it another way, the 10CR250 driver is 6 ohm nominal impedance based on the most resistive section of the impedance curve (through the low mids). However, at low frequencies, where demands are greatest on the amp, its impedance magnitude doesn't dip very low nor the phase swing much in a capacitive direction, especially when in our hybrid resonator enclosures. This means that from a perspective of what amps can handle without having problems it's effectively 8 ohm nominal impedance.

It wasn't planned this way - we designed it to make an awesome 4 ohm Six10 and 12 ohm Two10. But once we looked at the measurements we saw what an easy load it was so did some experimenting and it's turned out to be incredibly amp friendly. Hence we can be very approximate in how we name the nominal impedance of the 10CR models.

No such problem here in Texas.
;)
I understand your logic & concur.

Saw that. Very nice. It mentions keep those custom orders coming. Personally I feel they should offer that as another regular option. The double bass dudes seem to gravitate to these cabs and they're most likely not playing metal or vintage rock. Probably a lot of jazz guys would prefer that covering.

So, I wonder how long the ohms question will stay answered this time? Only on TalkBass, will people argue with a person who owns the freaking cabs. Anyway, I'm trying my best to NOT order a 412 from Alex. I absolutely don't need it, but damn..

I was basically saying you can't have the same impedance on a 6x10 cab & an 8x10 cab using the same driver.
That said one is nominally a little above that & the other a little below - functionally insignificant.

Molehills - nothing but molehills (not to be further addressed by moi).

Hey brother, do you think that a "4ohm" 410 will become part of the standard product line?

It's double boxed and that same blue foam channel is on all sides of the inside box all was good! Seemed like it took me for ever to break it all down! lol

They take forever to pack up too! For international shipments we put the L-profile foam on the outside as well as the inside, plus extra cardboard etc.
