SVT with two (2) Ampeg 210AVs

[kranahan]

of course not if you go side by side it'll be fine, but most people like to stack the cabs, and of course it will be ridiculously top heavy.

The plan is to stack it on top of the two cabs side by side or laying down. Haha that's a funny visual. It's a balancing act!

i've tried both ways and greatly prefer the vert stack. however, you could stick the head under the cabs. they'll fit and stand on it pretty sturdy. wouldn't do it if you have a gig where there's a lot of stage diving, though

It would be great if Ampeg made the exact duplicate of half an 810e. 4x10 and no horn but 4 OHMS! The two 210AVs are the best next best alternative I guess.

+1 They should bring back the B-40.

That's actually a really good idea there...but it puts your beer over 5' off the ground

this is also a big complain here in Italy.
We don't use so much 8X10, because of the size and the place we play... A lot of bass players use CLs and VRs with 410HLF, but eventually they sold all, because of the mud sound.
The perfect 4X10 cab for all tube SVTs is the SVT410HE, BUT it's 8 ohm!!!!

Can we do maybe a sort of "petition" here or/and in the facebook Ampeg profile to have them to make an SVT410HE 4 ohm?

Anyone else have/played this combo?

4 ohm 410HE would be the way to go
C'mon, Ampeg!

I finally have this set up!

Why not set the head across 2 vertically standing 210AV? I cringe at the thought of anything heavy sitting on my SVT.

It has more depth than the cabinets and its basically a balancing act when its on top. I'm going to put a gramma pad underneath the two cabs to stop any vibration into the head.

B40 was 8 ohms and used cheaper speakers. Close though . Fliptops does make a 4 ohm version though.

Has anybody opened one of these up? I'm just curious to see if the speaker baffle is made out of 3/4 plywood. The reason I ask is that about a month ago I bought a GK Neo 112-II. The speaker is mounted on half-inch plywood with sheet metal screws, sort of like a real cheap guitar cabinet. Plus, the knucklehead that mounted the speaker didn't bother to center it in the hole before ramming in the screws. On one side of the cutout the holes were 5/8 from the edge, on the other side 1/8. From the way the foam gasket was squashed on one side and not compressed at all on the other, I bet the speaker frame wasn't even seated against the baffle all the way around. And to think that I could have got an SVT-210AV AND saved $50.

The baffle on the 210av is 3/4" birch plywood. Just looked it up.

 

[rpsands]

There is nothing wrong with a 1/2" baffle especially with a light neo driver. Nothing.

Poor mounting, well, that's another story

Yup, 13-ply. And yes, I counted them.

 

[JimmyM]

And yes, I looked it up in your magazine, Tom!
