Why are there so many photos of electric bass guitars in a forum about Barefaced speaker cabinets?

^^^ I was wondering if I was in the right room…
My Two10 was in England last night….it's in Miami tonight! Hopefully to be delivered Thursday.

Rabbit trails happen. They eventually meander back to the main topic.
Nice pic. What is that amp sitting on the cab? It doesn't look like a bass amp…
wait now im straying from the theme! oh well. its hard to stay focused sometimes
LOL - yes I wanted to ask how can you use a PA amp as a bass amp, but I didn't dare asking because I didn't want to deviate from the main topic. So it's official, I'm not asking.
Look what was at my door when I got home from work!
This little TWO10 is just what I wanted for a grab-n-go/condo living rig. It sounds HUGE!! Way exceeded what I thought it might. My SIX10's little brother.
Thanks Alex & crew for another great cab!

Anyone had any issues with the upper mids on the 12XN cabs sounding more "harsh" than what you'd expect compared to reference audio devices? I just got my BB3 and SM two weeks ago and every time I listen through my studio monitors or IEMs with my amp DI and then listen to the cabs I just can't seem to quite get it to sound right.
I bought the BB3 because I thought it would really just sound like a big reference speaker like it has been talked about so regularly. Any tips or suggestions would be great! I'm running a Trickfish Bullhead 1k, which is supposed to be pretty even of a head. Has lots of EQ options as well if there are any suggestions there.

I have a question for the Big Twin 3 users:
What cab(s) did you previously use and how does the overall volume compare?
I am currently using two very high quality 1x12 cabinets but am considering going to a single "one cab that can do it all" system.
I'd appreciate any insight users could offer.

Try dialing it back. Remember it is a crossover, not a level control.
They do take a while to burn in and free up. Wait till you have cranked them up on a couple of gigs.
I tried that head on several high end cabs and never liked it. I'd give up on the head before the cabs.
Thanks for posting this. That Super 3rd T is now mine! Nice compliment to my Super Midget.

If you're running the HF control at max then you're boosting the treble a fair bit. Also, if you position your ears absolutely on-axis with the 12XN then you'll hear its rising response on-axis - that was chosen to get the flattest possible sound in the room, because hardly anyone's ears are absolutely on-axis, so the power response is really even.
