Glad you got your RBi matey!

Well, thanks to Basschat and special thanks to rmshaw37 - I now have a SVT410HLF again! Hope those Kappa Pro's live up to their reputation mate? *Chuffed*

rmshaw37 - dude, you've probably saved my life - I nearly bought another HLF on eBay today for £470 - my Mrs would've killed me! Mate if you're up for that then yeah, that's great. I'm near J10 M6 - to be honest, for the right drivers I'd 'kin WALK!! Pm me mate and we'll sort this out! Man I'm stoked about this if it comes off!! BTW- just noticed you've got a Punisher - I'm a massive KISS fan! You should see my KISS sleeve tattoo!!

Hi, I'm new to the forum and wanted to share my tale of woe and maybe gauge how I can go about salvaging my sanity, dignity and my rig! I recently played my 1st gig with my own full rig. SVT 3 Pro Sansamp RBI - both from new. & an SVT 410 HLF Classic - I've had this cab 2nd hand for about 3 years for £450 and only played it at low volume at home before this gig and now I'm gutted it may be a wreck! I use the head and preamp every week through a Hartke 410 at our rehearsal rooms and it sounds righteous. Sound checked at thte gig and I thought a cone had blown. It distorted so bad, a really farty flapping noise in the low range. Mids and highs were ok but low E was atrocious! I was expecting furniture movement! I had the speakers out one by one and they all seem fine and wired according to the Ampeg wiring diagram I found online. BUT, and this is the stinger - this has been reloaded with Eminence Kappa Pro's - these are 500w and 8ohms each! So, instead of a 500w 4 ohm cab - I've got a 2000w 8ohm cab! I really think the cab couldn't take it - and my SVT3Pro is clipping as I was trying to get something out of it. I contacted Eminence and the only way to get the correct drivers (the original 100w ones!) is through Ampeg. So, I contacted LOUD and one of their approved dealers - £97.00 + VAT each speaker!! That's £465.60 for all 4!! To say I'm gutted is an understatement and now I'm really struggling to find a way around it. I'm thinking of selling the empty cab and drivers seperately and looking for another 2nd hand HLF with the correct drivers. Or, try and find a 4ohm 500w sealed cab - swop the drivers over and see if I can at least use the HLF in some form and use the 500w drivers @ 8ohm for rehearsing? Anyone got any ideas, thoughts - a length of rope I can fashion into a noose?
