you're better off buying another 410. in general there's not much point in adding a 115 to a 410 as the 410 is going to be much louder.

Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Well that's not an option, mostly because I'm into changing my speakers for 15"s only, so the 410 is going away at some point in the future. Getting another 410 wouldn't make any sense.
My goal is to have 2x 115 cabs or 2x15 but that would require a bigger car first

Yeah I didnt mention the 4x10 and 1x15 thing in my post because its been beat to death in the rest of the forums. Just make sure you put the 1x15 on top so you can hear when its about to explode and turn down.
I am seriously digging this right now!
Wish I had heard them long before now (don't let the silly YouTube placeholder pic fool you.).

It's quiet in here. 
I was playing a few of my basses on headphones and was not feeling happy with the stock Epi T-bird pickups on my Alumnibird. I think they are too dark for what this bass needs to sound like. With my first Fenderbird I went down a rabbithole just trying to find good pickups that would swap in without making bigger routes/etc, pretty much gave up, ended up routing it and stuck in a Darkstar/Bisonic. Back to square one w/ this one.....so it came down to Seymour Dunksemen SSB4's or Nordstrand Big Singles, but I remembered that Lace still existed so got a couple of their Alumitone Bass Bars, they seem alright for the money, plus it keeps the aluminum theme going.

When I wanted to replace the pickups in my Blacktop Jazz (which is P/P, not J/J), I thought long and hard about the Lace Aluma-P but no one really had any input on them so I opted for DiMarzio Model Ps instead, I knew what they sounded like.
@cornfarmer I had my eye on a set of those for one of my Warlock restorations until I found out how great the 80's BC Rich pups are. Still want to try those out though.
If they're split P pickups, they're probably DiMarzio Model Ps. I don't know who made their soapbars (if they even used them in the '80s) but classic BCRs usually came with DiMarzios installed.
@cornfarmer I feel ya on the Tbird sounding dark. I've been a little put off at times by how dark they can be. However, I saw that they're coming out with a Tbird loaded with vintage chrome pups! I gotta try one of those out! I wonder if they'll sell the pups separately...
I really want a D-bird....
Love the Dingwall pickups.

300ish watts @ 2 ohms pushing two 8x10's? You could do worse, I imagine
Let's say you're getting an old Peavey 2x15 cab (215D) for cheap, and it's got the Black Widows in it........would you upgrade the speakers to handle more watts, and if so would you go for some kind of neo drivers like some uptown Faitals or are there other good bang for buck neo's out there?
Took me a minute, but I knew I had seen it somewhere. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EBTVTSNH
Looks so good, I might have to pre-order one! I haven't searched for videos yet, but I like what I see.
I haven't used 15's in a long time, I prefer 12's myself. In my experience I loved the Black Widows, what wattage are they able to handle? Neos would be a good choice just for the weight savings from those suckers.
Well, that's probably it. Doubly so if they're cream coloured (a DiMarzio only trait) and have allen key adjustable pole pieces.
My crappy Platinum BCR has what appears to be rip off Model P's in it and they sound phenomenal, so I bought the real things for my Blacktop Jazz (in cream so everyone would know they're DiMarzios, naturally!).
