[quote name='largo' timestamp='1320009808' post='1421320'] Those 12" EAD cabs look great and I love the tilt on them. What weight are they going to come in at, just ballpark? [/quote] The Foundation 112 2 way cab is approx 15-16kg, the 3 way will be approx 17-18kg

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1319743116' post='1418128'] Dave will probably be along in a bit but I think the 112's are working their way through the last of the prototype stages and I'm not sure if prices are up for them yet. I think he's going to do them is 3 'builds', 3 way, 2 way and single driver. Some prototypes will be at Bass day in manchester and London. [/quote] Thanks Peter Yes that is the plan so far. The web site is being updated over the next few weeks. Dave

Ahhh the never ending battle to keep SWMBO happy.... I understand it only too well... .

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1319629465' post='1416572'] the logo is in front of one of the ports. Will that not interfere with the airflow?[/quote] You would be astounded at how many variations of size and position of the logo I looked at before going for what I did. I am in a fortunate position to have a number of cabs to carry out trials on. cabs with no logo, just a perforated grill, and I literally covered the areas that I wanted to place the logo on to hear the effect it has.....Its certainly not done with no consideration to the effects Keep this in mind. The grill is set away from the port by about 35mm. The logo solid area is about 20mm wide..... The port at exit diameter is roughly 120mm I ran low freq level test tones and obviously played cabs side by side. Try it yourself on a cab at some point - remember you are not shoving something right at the exit of the port, but placing something over the grill that is set well away from the port exit. The logo over the port location made [I]no audible difference [/I]to the cab. The foundation 112's are shaping up nicely but until I have tried a few more options on drivers and crossovers, then I am not going to rush into production with them. The grills on these have Logo badges for the time being, but final production runs will be CNC punched as the Foundation 212. I try and carry out trials with a realistic approach, and concentrate on live testing where possible. These are going to be at the UK bass day and London Bass show for anybody who wants to come along for a chat Dave [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj211/david_l_perry/EAD%20photos/PICT8382.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj211/david_l_perry/EAD%20photos/PICT8381.jpg[/IMG]

Blue Aran is generally a good place for the drivers. Adam hall is an Eminence importer, but small orders dont tend to be worth it once you add shipping. Driver prices have gone through the roof over the last few months.....

These are your mid range drivers not HF drivers, although lots of players are happy with how high these go and don't feel the need for a HF driver as well. The LA6 CBMR is a closed back (ie its completely sealed) The Alpha 6 is not. So you would need to build a sealed enclosure for the Alpha if you buy that one, and you would be taking away cab volume. Both would work well but I would opt for the LA6 CBMR out of those two. Dave

Good stuff You may find that the mid range overtakes the 10" in relative output so an attenuator would be a must if you do go down the mid range driver option. John at Audio components UK is a good source for crossover parts Dave

[quote name='citymariner' timestamp='1316191052' post='1375773'] I noticed the image above had an logo stitch in - is that a new service they offer?!? [/quote] Its a printed on logo, not stitched. Fantastically well done. I sent over the image to Bryn and the first sample arrived within the week. I decided to include a Roqsolid cover with every cab. They have a great proven track record, and I have used them myself for years for previous cabs. Dave

Cracking little cabs the Peavey 210TX's....!! I still have one that has served me for many years. Used to gig with a pair of them. Its just sat in my office as a home practice cab now..... Dave

[quote name='bassman7755' post='1346556' date='Aug 20 2011, 05:50 PM']Yeah pretty sure I'm not doing anything dumb , FYI according to the schematic in the manual the preset level is right before the power section. No matter how low I take the gain I still get a slight "fizz" on the bottom end ...[/quote] Check the batteries on your bass if its active.....?? I have had low level distortion when the batteries are about to die......worth checking out ??? Dave

[quote name='Phil Starr' post='1219524' date='May 4 2011, 09:09 AM']there you are then EA claim that both sets of ideas are true at the same time and their cabs have all the advantages. [url="http://www.eaamps.com/index.php?p=translines&m=tech"]http://www.eaamps.com/index.php?p=translines&m=tech[/url] Mind you, there is no way this is a transmission line[/quote] Indeed....i had a pair of EA CXL112 transmission line cabs, great little cabs, but I had problems with one of the drivers. when I took the driver out and checked out the inside it was very apparant this is not a true transmision line cab (it was just a long shelf port), but more importantly, the '8ohm' cab is loaded with a 4ohm driver.......MY mark bass head kept shutting down with the pair of them and suddently it became obvious why.......it did explain why they are loud '8ohm' cabs.... EA do make good cabs, but they are just not as described......
