Hehe, that ain't my rig, although I wish it was!
Those are patrickj's I believe, and I agree, they are quite nice! Those are some nice cabs you have yourself, actually!
Oops
I could blame on it being early, but I get up at 5... Oh, and thanks for the compliment. I have a pair of 1x12s on the drawing board...similar in size to GS-112s.
Hey Patrickj...can you give us a tour de rack?

Volt Tamer (old skool) Power conditioner -> Sabine Rack Tuner RT-1600 -> (effects) -> Behringer T-1953 mic preamp * 2 channels -> RMX 1850 (channel 1 gets 6x10, 2 gets 1x15)
* line input imedences suitable for instruments
I've got a seperate 2 space rack (not pictured - I'm working on it atm) with all of my DIY stuff: 30dB gain, tube overdrive, muff/fuzzface distortion, 7 band eq (ripped from an old stereo, only using bottom 4 frequencies; rewired/upgraded to more appropriate bass guit frequencies), MIMF.com piezo preamp (WIP - for my WIP EUB). No compressor yet (I use the limiter on the QSC to protect the cabinets, but it's really not the same). 2 channels sorta: the 10s get all of effects (fuzz/dist, eq, etc). The 15 channel just gets EQ to balance out the sound of the 10s.
I'll get inside & outside pictures of this DIY monstrousity (rack space made out of plexiglass & sheilded with foil). I don't take credit for any of the schematics (mimf.com, ampage.com mostly), I couldn't design an audio circuit if I tried. But I can read them, and I originally learned to solder on surface mount computer components; made DIY easy.
Both cabinets are 4 ohms. The 10s are Madisons older model - very good sounding drivers, tho their specs make them look a bit scary to the 'specs are everything' crowd (no slight intended, they do get a bad rap by some here). The 15 is an Eminence Kappa 4ohm. I had an outdoor jazz gig this weekend (6x10 only, no PA support), got a lot of compliments from the other bassists in the crowd on the sound.
Thanks!!!
How are the 10 interconnected? Ampeg uses 6 ohm speakers in the 6x10 to get a 4 ohm cabinet impedence...are the Madisons 6 ohms?

8ohm series'd to 8ohm (times 3), all three sets are paralleled. The total is ~ 5.33 ohms, which is handled as 4ohms by the amp.

i think that the silver (which doesn't really show up in the pix) makes them look a little less blah...
that looks great... nice job
Ehh, might as well show my "pride and joy"
I want more, but I'm not in a band yet, so this is enough to piss my parents off...

Thanks. I picked it up used for $270. It's basically mint though, and it sounds incredible through the Yorkville.
Here is almost all of it now...just can't get the digital camera to get un- fuzzy. Of course it could be operator error...
