Just completed my rig of doom. Got a killer deal on a used swr megoliath to complete the setup. 1000 watts of tube power split between these bad boys should do the job...

Rigs of Doom; Part 4

Not yet. My downstairs neighbor would not be happy! My band lost our jam spot recently too so I have no place to unleash it right now.

Nice Nate. Fire it up on a west wind day and I'm sure I'll be able to hear it out here.
It's hard to even imagine how loud it would be, dimed.
I'm sure when you get the chance to really crank it, though, it will be glorious.
Hey hey, kids!
2400w @ 4 ohms bridged! Goes lower and louder than an SVT810e!
I get -20db on the output meter of the crown (so 20db headroom until clipping) yet at the same time can still keep up with two 4x12 + tube amp playing guitarists.
Also someone bump my thread explaining the rig!

Looks great but I don't recognize the amps. Are they your own build?
I had a Blue front SVT 8X10,with a Sound City 120,then a blue line V4B,then a SVT to go along with my Blue front V4B bass cabinet[2 15's in a folded cabinet] with another SVT head...that evolved into 2 Alembic pre-amps with 2 BGW 750 power amps.I played a Blue Rick 4001 STEREO into that.Also a BC Rich Mockingbird wired for Stereo and a Alembic series 1 into it. My roomates [also bass players..yeah 3 of us] said my rig could kill small children at 50 yards. Years later when I moved to Los Angeles I played a Koa BC Rich Mockingbird into a SVT/V4B[bottoms] with a SVT head that turned into a GK 800 RB head into the cabinets.Also an Alembic Elan into this rig.Got good comments from club sound men"That was the best sounding bass Ive ever heard in this club" ! Now after 20 yrs Im playing again with a Fender Jazz and a 1-10 Crate practice amp !!!
That's nuts.... Way to represent your username

Peavey Max tube/SS preamp, biamped, into the power-amp-ins of the 1980 MKIII Bass head -->410 for mid/highs and the combo with 15" Black Widow for the lows.
Both amps use pretty much the same 400 Series power section that Peavey's put in just about every kind of amp for the past 40 years. Dependable and VERY loud, despite only 200 watts each. Best part is that there's a ton of redundancy so if any piece fails I can still carry on.
Added the combo recently and was floored by how much louder and better it got.

well, I guess that didn't work..

hey people, don't post much, but I have gathered lots of cool info from the site, so thanks a ton! Heres the bass setup from Blackwitch Puddings show last night in Portland...... Sunn Coliseum running two Sunn 215B's, and a Hovercraft Elder Giant running the first ever bass spec Hovercraft 6x12. Oh and some Rickenbacker too.
