In various threads I've seen the advice given to use 2 2x10 cabs turned on end and stacked for a more efficient solution when addressing cab combinations. Does anybody know of anyone making a vertical 4x10? Has this been tried?
Not sure why nobody makes a vertical 4x10 With wheels, skid bars, and handle it would be a snap to move. And it would sound great, with good dispersion and ear height.
I remember seeing a pa cab at a show with the name aims on it never heard of the company but it sounded good as a pa cab and im pretty sure it was a 4x10
HAHAHAHAHA I had those in my very first band back in 19...well a long LONG time ago... Plus there are only SIX speakers per side.
We had one of these in our metal band in the 80s. Needless to say, it was somewhat under-powered for our application.
I know I've lugged some similar vert 4x10 PA cabs in a past life... And Sunn made some sick vert 4x12s for guitar.
In the late 60s and early 70s, Kustom produced both a 3 x 12" and a 3 x 15" cab. That was in their tuck & roll days. These were, and still are, tremendous bass cabs. Just too heavy for us older guys to move around. Back then, when I was young and strong, it was no big deal. Anyway, they produced some incredible bottom end that would easily compete with a rock band.
JBL Cabaret Series 1 4680, add subwoofer of your choice and it would probably be a great system. http://www.jblpro.com/pub/obsolete/Cabaret_Series1.pdf
Not 4 but EA had an in-line 3x10 once upon a time. There is a review of it in the TB "review" section.
No offence, but why on earth wouldn't you want to stack two 2-10s? The ease of transport is infinitely different, just get double the resistance rating in 2-10s that you want for the 4-10 stack and chain them. The 4-10 column would be so awkward to move around it would border on rediculous. The 210 x whatever easily fits in any car. That column would be horrible to transport.
