Nick really prefers facing in and my graphs show that I probably will as well. Flatter response with a narrow bump around 85-95hz I think. Should give it that eden sound.

"Facing in" to mean compound push/pull loading. Yes, that's how my personal gigging cabinets are configured.

 

[Fretlessboy]

I will play mine facing out long enough to really let it sink in. Then I may switch it to see.

Any questions shoot me an email or give me a call. All that is required is a stubby screwdriver with a hex head tip. The crossover wiring harness has long enough speaker wires to allow for compound push/pull loading. Run the wires through either back port.

I may do it today... Maybe this morning... Maybe not

 

[Fretlessboy]

Ok I did it... Took 7 minutes. A Phillips head screwdriver and a 5/32 Allen wrench for speaker screws. Opens up like different cabinet. My new best friend.

Never thought about the Allen wrench! Thanks!

I compound loaded last night and MUCH prefer the lows and low mids. Deeper, fuller, less of a hump between 100-250hz. I think that I prefer the uppermids and highs traditional loaded but, then again, my strings are really dead right now. Compound is the way to go with this cab, IMO.

This thing sounds great...

Is it just as articulate that way down low? Deeper, fuller, sounds bloomy to me.

 

[Fretlessboy]

It is fuller but I found it as articulate down to "B". My basses sound wonderful and very punchy and full bodied . I don't miss the high mid bump at all. My eq is now flat

 

[kringle77]

No, it's not muddy. More full and thick without the huge lowmid bump. It sounds better at higher volumes this way too.

Hmm, Chris stated the bump was around 100-250 hz, which I consider to be low mids. Is that what you are calling high mid bump ? I actually boost around 200 hz, so maybe I would prefer the normal loading.

 

[Fretlessboy]

Well no... I heard a bump around 2 k which is now not there. I could flatten that out in my eq in stead of cutting it. Whole cabinet tone is smoother and more even. Hoping to video a little later.

 

[Fretlessboy]

Or maybe it is just my ears

Yeah, this stuff is so subjective sometimes !

 

[Fretlessboy]

I love the difference so it was a great use of 7 minutes of my life. I am thrilled with the outcome

I would suggest push/pull. It's overall a smoother sounding box is this configuration and then add 200 hz to your taste. The beauty is in just a few minutes you can try it either way and see what best suits "you".

 

[kringle77]

Traditional has 200hz and 2.5k bumps. Compound smoothes them both out quite a bit and wxtends the low end. Really easy to hear the diffwrence. It's nowhere near flat either way and its not supposed to be.

 

[Fretlessboy]

It kicks more butt this for me. The other was good but this is BETTER for me

 

[Fretlessboy]

I will try to get a video or two up today
