Tower of power nearly complete. Just have to cut and paint the grills and wait for my new ports(thanks to shredmuzic for sending the wrong size) I guess in colorado 3x5 loosely translates into 4x6.

RIGS OF DOOM - Ch. 3

My updated R.O.D. Added the Mesa 400+ to the SVT 410's and WOWZERS! First time I've gigged a tube head since the late 70's, I had forgotten how much a difference it makes!
Future plans include running my Aggy 500sc with the GS410 cab for the Roland GR-20 bass synth stuff. The guitarists I play with are shivering in thier boots!

What kind of music are you playing that could possibly ever warrant such a stack?? WHERE are you gigging? I mean, really? 6 SVT-4's?? I don't even want to think of what your guitarist's rig is like
This is about as much doom as I can put up with right now. It is a monstrous sounding rig and there's room for another BR810 in matching Brown Marvelon whenever I can afford it. 
I'm quite impressed with the BR810. Carvin did a good job making a great sounding cab that is surprisingly easy to move. I wish it had skid rails on the back for easier loading but I could probably find a homemade solution to that. I would certainly get another if something happened to this. It'd be nice to have another for the sake of more power but this is more than I'll ever conceivably need or desire.
My B1500 is now housed in an EWI 10 space tour case, along with my rack light + power strip. I'm waiting on some other hardware to start racking my pedals. Then I'll take some better pictures.

Loud music...?
I can't even imagine how loud your rig is. I would have gone with 3 or 6 SVT-2PRO's, but thats just me.
Post some pics of the cabs when you have time.
I'm think of getting rid of the SVT-4PRO and SVP16000 and just running the rig with a SVT-2PRO. I hope it's still a rig of doom.

Awh man why? That setup looks sooo badass!
so you got the other 3620 then?
I take it the picture is sideways because you kinked your back lifting it!
I'm a big fan of the hodge-podge mis-matched rigs of doom. Mine is not as large as the Peavey Monster above me here but I think I get a few Style points for being odd and ugly and mismatched. ....But it sounds good!
I recently found that the best sound through this rig with my MIM P bass is an absolutely flat EQ! The more I fiddled the worse it got, so I set it back to flat and I said to myself, "Self, that sounds pretty good!"
Thanks for the inspiration!
The top is a peavey 210tx and the bottom is a KMD 15+2x8

Sorry I have been unintentionally ignoring this thread for a month or so. Just glanced at it this morning. Getting ready to leave to a motorcycle rally tomorrow morning.

There's a little pic. I've working on 21" sub woofers to go below these cabs.
I answered B4DL's question in another thread. Currently just building the rig. Not currently in a band.
How loud is this rig? It falls off on the "B String" some, thats why I'm working on the sub situtation.
The rig makes my vision actually blur while playing it. I really wonder what will happen when it has twice the 810's and the subs under them?
SVT2PRO, yes nice amp. With the size of the system I don't want to have to do the maintenance on 20 amps. Much of the tone of the system is made in the bass and the cabs. The 4PRO preamp makes toob sounds. Works good - lasts long time.
Let's see... Guitarists. I was hoping my son could join me, but he's coming up way too slow in the ranks.
I figured 16 cabs and 4 Marshall 100/100 rack mount amps should be a good start.
I'm of course only considering arena stuff with this rig. I'm not interested in small gigs anymore.
