    Sure glad I got that micro head to take some of the weight off... Actually I just picked up this pair of Black Widow equipped Peavey 215d's, taken from a theatre install, thus no grills. The MB500 was all I had in the house to play with at the moment and damn does it push these monsters. After a couple years of using nothing but 10 & 12" neo's, I forgot how thunderous a good pile of 15's could be. Man, my neighbors are gonna hate me... more!

    Can't wait to vertical stack them!!!

    I bet that 4X15 rig just thumps. I am in a similar boat, well maybe not quite. I have a 6lb Markbass head with 128lb Ampeg PR410HLF cabinet.

    I just can't get over how silly a tiny head looks on a giant stack of speakers like that. But hey, if it sounds good, it is good.

    I've actually been running it with a GK 1001rb pushing the 15s (side by side) and a 400rb running a pair of 210s on top of each (I guess I'll have to get that pic up on the rigs of doom thread). If I didn't have such trust issues with the GK mb2-500, I would definitely play a gig as pictured though. It would look hysterical next to my gui****s 6 Marshalls.

    Awesome.

    It looks like someone fired a shrink ray at your bass head.

    Or if you pretend those are 2x10s, you have a tiny toy bass!

    I wish I could steal that shrink ray for load-in/load-out.

    Time to open a new can of worms. When i place them side-by-side, should i put them with both ports to the inside, ports to the outside, or both ports to the right. Visually speakers next to the inside and ports to the outside looks best.

    I ask because I have 1 cab at home, 1 at practice and they only come together for big stages, where I really dont have time to flip and flop.

    I would put the drivers closest together for best coupling, so the ports would end up on the outside edges.

    You just need to stack them vertically.

    Oh, and buy a ladder to get to your amp.

    ...and find a good roadie/chiropractor

    We are doing an outdoor gig in a few weeks, I am very tempted to vertically stack them, then throw on my 210 vertically, the mb2 and my wireless, and see if it looks like the empire state building.

    The guy I bought them from has another pair, maybe I could make a tribute to the twin towers.
