Double Bass Ten 2 Amp and extension cabinet off the floor

[truckplayer]

I've always placed my Acoustic Image Ten2 Amp and Extension cabinet on the floor. Now I would like to try elevating them. Are there any suggestions on what I could use? Also, should I place some kind of material underneath the amp and the extension cabinet in order to capture the full sound of the downward firing speaker?

I believe they are designed to interact with the floor. Another possibility is to have some gizmo to tilt the cab someward upwards. Just a suggestion.

Try lifting off the floor and see what happens… the whole thing is designed to utilize the coupling with the ground for the low end. When you lift it, they start to sound anemic AF. Would not advise. I had some success flipping my Coda over on its back, though, downward firing cone face up!

They come with flip-out tilt legs.

When I owned the Coda, and Ten2 I elevated them. I made a pole mount stand you can see in this video. It worked great.

I use the flip-out legs.That's been useful.

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks!

put the ex on the floor upside down. the front firing speaker still couples with the floor, and the upfiring speaker is your monitor, and it also couples with the ceiling, and a back wall if there's one behind you. best live sound i've ever had and could hear myself
