Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

people,

can I put this out here? what would a barefaced 3x10 at 4 ohms be like, in terms of impedance and rms watts it could run plus overall weight?

by the way, my 2x12 barefaced super twin just did fortyeight gigs in fortyeight nights w/no prob and I was pushing that shaging mess hard, not easy...

a Two10s at 12 Ohms combined with a One10 at 8 Ohms is about ~4.8 Ohms.

The Two10s is rated at 800W RMS, while the One10 is rated at 500W RMS. The Four10 is rated at 1000W RMS, so I'm thinking it may have a slightly lower rating, or even also be rated for 1000W.

Need some knowledge from Alex on this one.

Not quite 4 ohms but I sometimes run a Two10S and One10 together at 2.67ohms overall, so each driver gets 1/3 of the amp power. Sounds blimmin' great.

A six10 has wheels and weighs 65 lbs. You might want to consider that option

That's a sweet stack, rock it! The taller 310 gets the top driver closer to ear level which helps to hear yourself better in a loud stage mix. Those drivers also handle a lot of power and move quite a bit of air for a 10" so I'd bet the low end is full and solid. As impressive as the 12" drivers are, I really like the voicing of those 10" drivers. The new look is great too, just wish the logo was smaller (about half as big).

bassslinger ho,

in seven months I'll be sixtyfive and I also got a bunk port knee so your suggest ain't really for me... forty lbs w/my super twin is my limit.

seems alex rates his twelves at six hundred watts and his tens at two hundred fifty, have I got that correct?

three tens ain't for me, I think.

love my super twin, really do... I was jus thinking out loud.

Well on the website it says "Max power" of the One 10 is 500W RMS, but on the back of the cab, it's written "250W 8Ω" so it's confusing.

I guess a 310 would be rated 900W (the 210 is rated 800W and the 410 is rated 1000W)
compared to the 1200W of the Super Twin

The weight is 20Kg for Two10 + One10, slightly heavier than the 17Kg of Super Twin, but easier to put in the trunk of a car IMO

-------------------------

I already have a One10, and I wonder what should I get next?

- Tone is more important than the power/weight ratio, both options would be more than enough for me anyway. I prefer the color the 10CR series, but I'd like to have more low end. Would a 310 settup give me enough low end, or should I buy a Super Twin and shape the tone with a preamp in order to find the color I like?

- 210 + 110 would be much more modular than 110 + 212: I could take only the 110, only the 210, or both depending on the venue (3 options), whereas I would only have 2 options in the second case (it's not recommended to mix 10CR and 12XN cabs, and it would be useless anyway).

(last, on my One10 the Barefaced logo has the normal position / rotation, so if I buy the TwoTen, it will not look as nice as @Merton beautifull setup).
