Thanks for all the responses guys, very informative as always. But would you consider it value for money to get one as some are going for the same/cheaper than 210s! And once they are on castors, can one person manage one?

So whilst looking on a infamous bidding website, I've found several absolute bargains on 810s and 610s at the moment. Its quite funny seeing as they are the most expensive to buy out of any cabs, yet at the moment have no resale value what so ever. Why do you guys think this is? And on a sidenote, (this my seem like a silly question) But how practical are 810/610s to move and live with? I've never actually gig/seen/moved one before. Are all the horror stories true and is this why they have no resale value?

What things should you keep in mind when looking for replacement speakers for bass cabs? I'm looking into upgrading a 210 cab from 200 watts @ 8 ohms to 600 Watts @ 4 Ohms

I totally agree. If it wasn't for all the small gigs, i'd go completely di. What do you think is a good standard of rig to cover both? I think 210 is to small for the bigger gigs, 610 might be to cumbersome and larger for the smaller pub gigs. 410 is goldielocks :-)

Ok. After spending the afternoon researching and using winisd I am utterly confused. So I've decided to ask for help! What I want to do is this: I have just got 2 old 15 inch Class D subs off a friend. I want to turn them into bass cabs. My plan is to remove the 15 inch speakers, baffle, and port, and add either 4 isobaricly mounted 10 inch speakers or regularly mounted 2 10s. They will fit in the front area of the new baffle (after removing the old ones and the port and adding new bass reflex tubes) I plan to use the Eminence Basslites Ca2010 for the speakers. Now I've been trying to interoperate the plots winisd, but I have no idea what is good or bad in the plots, or if the cabs are suitable for the job. If someone could help me figure if this is a good build idea that would greatly appreciated. The inside cabinet dimensions (after removal of all the old hardware) are: L- 44.1325cm W- 44.7675 cm H-51.75cm If anyone is interested my ultimate goal is to have 2 compact isobaric 410s that are in tweed with similar styling to a original Fender Bassman.

Thanks for the brilliant advice guys, I'll be posting a build when the project goes ahead. I'll keep at few orages at hand as well Ou7shined. I also found a brilliant guide linked here: [url="http://jam4jmessageboard.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2378719"]Recovering[/url] shows a lot of the main techniques (at least I gather!)

So I just took the plunge and bought this amp sight unseen from Thomman at a very reasonably price of 370 pounds (shipping included ) Are there any old or current users of this head out there, and what can I expect from it?

Hope this helps.

Has anyone come across any good guides for recovering cab?

I just got an ashdown 115 evo II off ebay for a fair price, definately not wooly, used to only play ashdown amps, but sadly this ones vavle drive doesn't work as well as the back lighton the vu. Getting a refund and switching to Eden, definately a lot more clear then the asdown.

[quote name='icastle' post='1331636' date='Aug 8 2011, 03:09 AM']If you're using a piezo tweeter then you don't need a crossover (maybe just a couple of resistors to reduce the power going to the piezo). If you're using a wire diaphragm type then the choice of crossover depends on the frequency response of the tweeter. Can you give us a clue which tweeter(s) you're considering?[/quote] Most likely this if i use piezos; [url="http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=SKT900207&browsemode=category"]http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=SKT...semode=category[/url] And this is i a regular one, [url="http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=FANFPT150&browsemode=category"]http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=FAN...semode=category[/url] Whats the deal with wiring it as a bright box? (ie more than one tweeter)

Hello! How simpler is the Eden Wtdi to a eden wtx amp? I recently tried the 264 amp and it was lovely, although a little quite. Was thinking of using this to push a power amp.

I am currently thinking about making a custom bass cab. I have a friend who is donating to me a Class-d sub (single 15 driver), which I have taking the low pass crossover out of. I will be adding a 300 watt 4 ohm speaker to work with my soon to be ordered Eden Wtx 264. If I add a 8 ohm tweeter to the cab with a 8 ohm crossover, will the impedance still be 4 ohms? I have been reading this: [url="http://colomar.com/Shavano/crossover6db.html"]Crossovers[/url] and its a little bit confusing. As well what frequency crossover should I use for the tweeter?

Peter Just bought a bass big muff from me. Lovely guy, paid quickly, no problems what so ever.

If anyone has a ashdown f2-2 for the evo 2 combo/heads can you tell me the dimensions please! Thank you

[quote name='icastle' post='1324575' date='Aug 2 2011, 05:34 PM']Nope. The second socket is to run a seperate cab - not provide an extra feed to an existing cab. If you run a 300W @ 4Ω​ amp into an 8Ω​ cab then you're effectively pushing 150W.[/quote] Brilliant. Thanks man, I'll try and find a 4 ohm cab. Any suggestions?

I have a question about ohms. If lets say for instance a Eden wtx 264 is 300 watts at 4 ohms. If I plug both of the speaker outputs in to a ashdown abm 210 a 8 ohms cab, would it then become a 300 watt rig at 4 ohms, or 150 watts at 8 ohms (which is what it would be if only one input was used.) ? I'm looking to get both of these, tried the eden head at my local guitar shop today, didnt think it was loudest thing ever, but sounded great. totally what I'm after tonally. My other option is to get their wtdi pedal and have that drive a power amp into the cab.

[quote name='JimBobTTD' post='1323948' date='Aug 2 2011, 10:32 AM']As long as you use the right power supply (ie AC or DC), 12v is 12v. No problems. I can't comment on customs, though - it depends on the reported cost of the pedal.[/quote] Brilliant! thanks man! If anyone is curious about importing things i found a brilliant duty calculator!
