[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1344213' date='Aug 18 2011, 11:56 AM']If you like the sound of the 4x10 one, get another the same, mixing up causes problems.[/quote] Hi - thanks for the continued input - I appreciate it. I was intending to get another ashdown cab, just the 1 x 15 is that likely to cause a problem? I think another 4 x 10 might be overkill so maybe I should go for an ashdown 2 x 10 - still problematic? If you think I should just get a matching 410 then please let me know.

[quote name='Musky' post='1343860' date='Aug 17 2011, 11:49 PM']If you add a second identical cab (i.e. another Ashdown 410) the extra speaker area alone will give you another 3dB. Add to that the extra 100w or so halving the impedance will give you, and you're looking at about 5dB more volume. The power will be shared by the two cabs, but you'll still end up with more power and be pushing each cab less hard.

If you can rig it, compare the amp into the other speaker section.[/quote] Thanks all for your technical input. I don't normally have to think about how it works - Ijust like to make a lot of noise! Out of interest will the addition of the second cab give me any more volume or will the output simply be shared between the two cabs?

I’ve been happily playing bass for a number of years using a Peavey TNT 115 combo with a Black Widow speaker. I bought it second hand so never knew the full spec. I think it’s 150w. Frankly it’s always been loud enough for the venues I play. I fancied a change though and recently bought myself an Ashdown Mag 300 Evo ii head and an Ashdown 410 deep cab – 8 ohms. Here’s the thing – the Peavey combo seems much MUCH louder than the new rig and I can’t see any good reason why. Any ideas would be appreciated. I’m considering adding a second Ashdown 115 cab which I guess will give me a bit more Umph but I felt that the 300w Ashdown head should be leaving the Peavey for dead. Confused.
