RIGS OF DOOM - Ch. 3

I traded a peavey 4x10 and 1x15 for the 1x18, and even though it was bigger before, this looks more epic all in a nice tower of power.
That is pretty awesome. About how tall is that? It would be cool to see a person standing beside it for scale.
Here are two of my "rigs of doom":
(both of these rigs sound absolutely HUGE!)
Sunn 190B w/2-15 JBL K140's and Sunn 2000S with 1-18" Vega

I can't get any taller, impedance wise OR reach wise!
Here's a better shot:
If you stack them end-on-end as the literature suggests (supposedly aligns the tweeter and midrange outputs), you might be able to squeeze a few more inches into the overall height. Of course, you'll need a step ladder to set the EQ.
I've found that the taller the stack, the greater the chance that your cat will find it an ideal roosting spot.

Roger that. I just got my second Acme B-4 and was re-reading the manual. I just stacked them as suggested downstairs but my damn camera is broken.
Strangely enough, the older series II has 1/4", banana, and neutrik jacks whereas the newer revised model has two neutriks. Time to buy some cables!

Just the cabs are just over 5 ft.
Plus they are sitting on a dolly board, so that adds a few inches.
The head is over my head. I can't see the speaker jacks on the back without tilting it back.
Had my guitarist snap this shot. I'm about 5'9".
It actually looks like I'm standing way out in front of it, but my leg is against the SWR cab
and my left shoulder is against the Acmes.

Speakons you mean...
Yes, and about time Andy did that!
Are those the combo Speakons with the 1/4" in the center?
I would like to update mine with those, but I bet it'll be a PITA.
ps
My little rig just shriveled in fright from Taystees new pile!
Holy cow, you're right on both counts! Speakons with a center 1/4" jack. How convenient. The earlier cab's Speakon will not accommodate the 1/4" jack.
