Old Peavey vertical 4x10 PA cab convert to bass cab?

Eminence Basslite SC10-16.

 

I think you’d would end up with a crapshoot. In all honesty I doubt that repurposing that box for bass use would be too successful.

 

Maybe ask member "Fuzzbass" , I think he repurposed a pair.........

Vertical 410... Been Done?

 

Why? Those SC10's are happy with anything reasonably north or south of 1 cubic foot per driver in a sealed cabinet.

 

Cos if i’m going to the expense of buying four good drivers I’d also pay a bit more for wood and build something more suitable.

 

Create "2x2x10" by partitioning the cab in the middle. Then tune the two "cabs" for the speakers.

 

isn’t your name spelled SCSI?

 

Hey, I know what your talkin' 'bout.

 

Yep. Add some insulation and you'll be good for a trial run. What head are you using?

 

I would rebuild it as a PA cabinet. That would work as a side stage monitor pointing at the whole band. It also would be good as a rehearsal PA speaker. Slap on some wheels and leave it at the rehearsal spot.

I think you should send it to me.

 

whenever you repurpose a cab. you need to make sure the cab is rated hold the speaker. http://www.usspeaker.com/homepage.htm or Guitar Speakers & Bass Guitar Speakers in the Speaker Components Department at Parts Express | 37

Peaveys are tough cabs. but the shallows aren't known for great sound. I'd say it's not going to be as bassy. if you want a mid heavy or a cleaner-sterile-flat no color sparkle sound that's what this cab will do.

 

The Eminence Legend BP-102.4 (the 4-ohm version) works well in compact sealed boxes. One of their factory recommended single-woofer designs is slightly over 1/2 cubic foot in a stuffed sealed box.

 

Try it, will surprise you! Years ago a buddy of mine used a pair kustom t&roll 4-12s in his van hooked to 8-track! Got to country bar-gig & used w/ kustom 200 p.a. head and was amazing!

 

Wow, we crushed and burned a bunch of those particle board coffins for skinny folks that were left in a storage space by our shop... they were terrible PA speakers, they were heavy as hell, the joints would break apart. Why put money into something like that when you can buy some really good used older school bass cabinets that are WAY better for about the same price? IMO, it would be money thrown away.
