Hello, I recently upgraded my old fender bass combo for a 300 watt warwick profet 3.2 head and a Hartke 4x10 transporter cab and was expecting to be blown away by the increase in power over my old 60 watt amp. However, after a few rehearsals i have come to the conclusion that the new rig seems to lack volume. Sound wise it seems a good combination, the head remain clear all the way up to 10. So either my equipment is faulty, which i dont think it is as it was all purchased new, or i underestimated how much power i would need in the head. So i have a few questions; 1. Are aluminum cones quieter than paper cones ? 2. would a 4 ohm cab be significantly louder than my 8 ohm cab or would a 500 watt head be a better investment ? 3. would an additional cab linked in series give me significantly more volume or just a fatter sound ? answers on a postman...
