    I'm interested in building a small cabinet (maybe 4-6 5'' drivers.) I remember a thread on a 16x5'' cabinet but I can't find it. Anyway, show me what you have!

    Check out the Big E thread!

    Here's my Big E 2x6.5's with a Mesa Buster. Pure clean tube tone.

    In perspective with an SVT + 810E, 300 Pro + Kustom 118B, and an old Ampeg(?) 118 of some sort.

    Oh yeah... from a few years back I turned some Quantum guitar cabs into bass cabs using some MCM woofers and some bracing. Killer tone with a 1001RB-II.

    Hey I wouldnt be sad to see a big Phil Jones rig with 45 8" drivers in it provided as a backline. Just dont ask me to move it, or pay for it...

    But look at those two little, but potent 6" drivers that add so much clarity!

    Voila, the Greenboy "Crazy8" mini-powerhouse cab! With an FDeck HPF-Pre, this 8ohm cab gets as loud as a good 110. Weighs about 16 pounds. Perfect for acoustic bass. Works well with electric bass, too. Provides a clean, PA-type sound that takes EQ very well.

    Hey now, Charlie...

    Small is subjective. Smaller than an 810? Got one of those. Smaller than a 410 or 115? got one of those too...

    Smaller than a 110? nope, dont have one of those.

    Wonder if any of you DIY guys haved messed with this Fane. http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/55-2810

    Decent specs for electric bass. Not the asskicker the Faital is but nowhere near the price either. Wonder if it might make a nice little coffeehouse/backporch jam cab, or replacements for SWR Henry's, etc.

    My computer is toast and can't do box modeling. :D

    The datasheet varies some from the ad copy, I'm going by the datasheet. Has computer sim of lowend in 25 liters @ 50hz but no excursion limits, etc.
