Less. My guitarist plays a Marshall JCM-900 through a Peavey 4x12" cab, and I play a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 through an Avatar 2x12" (with horn) cab.

 

[neurotictim]

My 410 vs his 212, so I'm edging him out by a bit. 8x the available wattage, though.

 

[wabbit]

WAY more than my guitarist. He plays through a single 12". I have the AccuGroove Whappo Jr. so 2x12" + 1x6" and I also have the AccuGroove 210L so 2x10" + 6". No need to even bring the tweeters into the equation.

Shakin' the foundations.

I like the way you think

Yeah, I'm generally at least 100% more than guitar players.
I'd rather carry more gear, and use it lightly, than carry less gear and over-work it.

I'd love to do the same.

But I'm having trouble picturing the resulting cabs.

How many 18Sound mids would I need to keep up with 32 3012LFs? 16? And if I keep them all vertical for good dispersion, how tall would the cab (or stack) be? How many slave amps would I need to buy to push it?

And who on god's green earth could stand to be in the same room with it? Could it be fatal?

2=128db @ 65Hz w/1067W
32=139db @ 65Hz w/17,072W ???
