Would this be loud enough with a LM2 head and a compact 1X15 to get the whole 500 watts? Maybe have a BDDI in front of the LM2?

 

[eyeballkid]

It should be loud enough on its own...adding a solitary 15 will probably kill the 15.

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

I'm not familiar with how loud the LMs are (watts are subjective) but adding a 1x15 to that cab would be a horrible idea. You will blow it up real quick.

 

[eyeballkid]

Since your going to ask why, ill go ahead and explain....the amp will send half of the Watts to each cab. That means the 610 wont even be cookin yet as its Watts are divided among 6 speakers as opposed to the one in the other cab...as you turn up to get the 610 going the 15will be struggling from absorbing all the volume in one driver and get blown most likely when playin at loud volumes.

 

[Kaa]

MY bad, I wasn't clear. I currently have a compact 1x15 cabinet that I would use along with the 6x10 to allow the LM2 to be run at 4 ohms.

 

[eyeballkid]

Yup...thats what I mean.....

So that 610 is 8 ohm?!

Ignore my response.

That's what the CL ad says.

 

[eyeballkid]

According to mesa the 610 powerhouse came in "4 ohm only".

 

[Kaa]

Well it is CL after all. Who expects accuracy? LOL.

 

[eyeballkid]

Yeah I bet if ya go there the guys got two of em and is selling his gear cos he keeps blowin his heads!

Ya know....running two "8ohm" 610s witb a 4 ohm head!

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

If you wanted to run a second cab with that you are better off with a 215!

 

[eyeballkid]

Btw....what happened to Sam? Been quieter than me lately.

 

[mc_muench]

Yeah, hopefully Monobrow took off!

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

Facebook says he's still alive. Hopefully he wasn't attacked by a moose.

the mesa 610 is sweet! i'd suggest a second 610! more surface area, i prefer 10 inch speakers, and i don't like mixing speaker sizes (i've read too many JimmyM rants). that said, one cab is probably more than enough w/ a LM2.

Unrelated news, new Pelican streams one The Onion AV Club:

I think I'd not want to be in a band that required more than that Mesa rig would give.

Are you sure you're in the right thread???!!!

It's not about what the band needs its about punishing your audience for not being worthy.

I was going to go link the Osedax (beebassdude's band) backline photo and just realized that doperigs.com no longer exists. Not a surprise as it hadn't been updated for a long time. Too bad. I liked the idea, especially since they did a section on my band.

Speaking of, I can't wait to see an updated version of the Osedax backline once Mike has all his cabs in a row again.
