Yes

insane?

Yes

spinal tap?

Yes

But you forgot FUN!

ide match like... an 8x10 (ampeg), a 2x15 (mesa), a 8x8 (SWR), and a 4x12 (aguilar).

there, that seems beefy. show me pics when you assemble it all.

 

[Earwigger]

santucci218 said pretty much the coolest cabs available in his response. An Aggie 4x12 is a monster in and of it's self.

Well don't stop there...split your signal into 4, buy 4 really expensive bass preamps, and run each one into a channel in your amp, and you will have ultimate quad tone control as well as the ability to make bats fall from the sky.

One thing's for certain, you'll never be constipated again.

If it's a Crown XTi series, it weighs less than 20 lbs.

4000 watts. The question is does a 4000 watt operating at 100 watts sound any different than a 400 watt amp operating at 100 watts?

nope.. it's actually a car stereo amp that somebody at my work found in the parking lot and gave to me. surprisingly it sounds great. now i just have to figure out a way to mount it in a rack with some cooling fans and i'm all set!

P.S. anybody know of any reliability issues i may have down the road with using a car amp? thanks

how do you reply to this?

with "hell yeah"

or "i'd match like... an 8x10 (ampeg), a 2x15 (mesa), a 8x8 (SWR), and a 4x12 (aguilar)."

gotta have variety

What's the combined power handling capability of your 8x10s?

Theoretically, 4,000 watts should yield twice the volume (into the same load) as 400 watts, just as a 400-watt amp should deliver twice the volume of a 40-watt amp.

you have to have two cabs be clean - biamped low and high, one dirty and one with effects.

THAT is how you do it

are Car stereo power amps rated the same as professional live sound gear? my car power amp says 720watts per side, but that thing comes nowhere near my bass power amp rated at 800watts?

 

[Vic Winters]

Watts are watts. My question is, how does he power the thing?
