Thank you. Might go for The Neo ones then. As the carry weight is more of a bother for me. Thanks.

Graphs look pretty similar to me. But I take your point. Like I say. Will rarely be a stack anyway.

If I take the lowest ohm value stated and put them all in the calc. I appear to be 6 ohm. Which is still in the safe area for the amp. You'll all probably correct me now but that's fine. Still reading and learning.

15 speaker. First pic 10 speaker. Second pic Both impedence curves show their worst impact will be the low B kinda area. E upwards looks closer to the nominal.

This page seems to explain that impedence gets higher mostly. https://audiojudgement.com/speaker-impedance-curve-explained/ There example of a 4 ohm speaker reaching as low as 3.4 and as high as 50. High will limit power and not damage an amp. Low would result in damage. So i feel I am safest heading for 8 ohm. So if the 3 speakers have low points in hz. I'd be low chance of dropping below 4ohm. Am I barking up the wrong tree?

This was the page I calculated the ohms https://soundcertified.com/speaker-ohms-calculator/#3_Series-parallel_and_other_wiring_types It explains I'm OK as long as I'm between 4 and 8. I guess what you're saying is the setup will create different impedance at differing volumes/watts depending on load. The Gnome amp can take between 4 and 8 ohm. So would it be best to set the cabs to 8ohm overall. As if I go higher ohm you lose power but I'm under the impression that it won't damage an amp. Whereas if I go below 4 ohm I could. I don't know enough about the curves to predict. Is there a link to where you read this so I can gain an insight? Thanks

Well if it lunches the amp. I'll have a reason to buy the 600w one! How do people run 1x15 and 4x10 cabs then impedance wise? I'm actually planning to have a cab at home. And a cab at practice. They will rarely actually be played together. But I appreciate the comments. I'll bear it in mind. I only wanted a 10" cab as I've never had one. Only ever had 15s. What I'll actually end up with is 2 x 4ohm cabs. One for each place I need one. A specially made cable will make them run in the parallel series way. I guess realistically I'd only need them both for large venues.

Over Double the weight. But the pulse XL has a Xmax of 8mm Better? https://celestion.com/product/pulse-xl-10-20/

So perhaps 2 ports? The 100w limit at 70hz I guess will make a quiet spot in the range of the cab? Not the worst then. Ill see if I can find some different drivers with a better vmax Thank you

Using a series&parallel setup I can get 8 ohm overall. So the two cabs will br wired differently with a cable which makes this happen between them. This head has only 1 output. I'll need to rewire if I go to the bigger head later.

Hi mate. Thanks for the reply. To make the first 1x15 I chose the driver and used Internet calculators to make the cab basing it off a mark bass 1x15. As it was compact etc... The Internet calculators are OK for basic stuff. For this one I tried again to do the same but although I got some bits out I cant help thinking they aren't as good for 2 x speaker cabs where the details of a 1xspeaker cab numbers go into them well. The 1x15 is proof of that pudding as I'm happy with it but can't help thinking my luck might run out in the 2x10 Is there any chance you can pop my numbers into your software? I can't install that as it's a work laptop. See if you thjnk 2x bn10 200x 8 ohm will suit or if i need to hunt a different spec speaker? I'd really appreciate it. If I have to take the punt. I will haha. A 70ltr volume should be OK. I'll just mess with the port ideas till it sounds right. But your input might save me a lot of faff. Thanks Phil

Hey, I'm Phil. I've been signed up to basschat for a long time I think, but not really posted much. I've been playing since I was 16, now 44. But don't let that fool you there's been some good gaps along the way where I wasn't in a band. I tend to play and focus when in a band but lack drive when I'm not. Basses: Sire M7 5st Warwick Corvette Std 4 (owned since new in 1997) Washburn EAB 4st. Amp: Warwick Gnome 300w. Might upgrade to the 600w. Really like having smaller lighter stuff these days. I like a clean clear balanced sound, so this suits. Celestion cab(s) made by me. 1x15 and finishing a 2x10 - Neo mags again for lightweight shifting stuff about. Prev amps: (H//H 250 mosfet & Blackwidow 15 cab) Bands: From Alt heavy rock, to Indie, to Rock, to Funk. Currently in an acoustic/funk/folk 3 piece but the style varies a bit: Granson Way. (only have a few recordings so far, still building a set. Currently 2 covers and 12 originals) Hope to get more involved with the chat. Thanks Phil!

Hi folks. I've been making bass cabs up. I've made a 1x15" so far with a Celestion BN15-300X - a little trial and error on the dampening inside and 3d printing my own ports to tune it. So far I'm really happy with it. I've started and made the cab for a 2x10 too. But got nervous before ordering the planned 2x BN10-200X to match the other cab sound wise (as I feel happy with the clear tone I like of the BN15.) So the cab details: MDF 14mm (then clad in recycled pallet wood 8mm thick, so they look cool and rustic (I'll link a pic) External box sizes: 56.5h 45w 36d 2 x 10 BN10-200x 8ohm, but happy to take other ideas on this. But their details: 10" 7.7cm mounting depth 3.5cm magnet depth The cab calculates as an internal cu/ft of: 2.5314 I haven't cut ports yet, but can drill and 3d print to suit. I rear ported last time and plan to do the same. Pic is my 1x15 with the 2x10 cab on top. I hope you like them Bass is my quick pick up Washburn, my 5st Sire M7 is in another room. So the cab needs to be tuned to handle the low B Thoughts greatly appreciated. Thanks Phil Edit: Oh and forgot to add, I'll be making it up as a series/parallel setup, via a cable, to make the pair 8ohm overall to work with my mini Warwick Head. Tho if I like playing one at practice and the other cab at home, I might re-wire to a different setup. For now though, I'd like to try both at once. Although I know people say 1x15 and 2x10 or 4x10 can cause odd waveforms. I'm happy to experience it and see before I settle on using 1, or both cabs. I also love the head, and might upgrade to the 600w Warwick one at some point.

Not even played mine through my amp yet, but see it as inevitable so why not. Free issue solved.

Whole bass.[URL=http://s237.photobucket.com/user/doninphi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1010.jpg.html][IMG]http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff262/doninphi/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1010.jpg[/IMG][/URL] As for the deluxe I did it as on thorman the stock model was 320 and deluxe 355. I skimped a touch in the past before on my Warwick and I should have got the higher model with better pickups, regretted it ever since. So with only £35 in it, I wasn't going to make that mistake again. Rosewood fingerboard is lovely and worth it for that alone in my eyes. I've also removed the strap pin as it got in the way when playing higher up the scale. Gonna cut a bit of Matt black vinyl to cover the hole up

So it's arrived! I'll add a main pic in a Mo. But following advice from this very thread first job was a damper. Thanks stagg for some lovely grey packing foam in the box with the bass!

Oh and hi. I'm Phil. I follow the Facebook group for EUBs and now joined bass chat.

Got one on order! Red deluxe! Can't wait!
