May I humbly suggest that you practice with something else at home?

I have to admit that I find the complaints about fan noise strange. I simply pay no attention to it.

@Open E did my last suggestion help?

What I term my small PA has a 1KW Class D power amp, a Mackie mixer and an IEM transmitter with five receivers. When I'm using it my bass amp with it's Acme two ten drivers becomes my subwoofer. It works well but I much prefer the 'openness' of my bass amp doing its thing. To each their own.

just for interest, what will a sub do for bass guitar. The lowest note on a bass would be around 30Hz. That's above where a sub will typically operate.

My standard tip in such cases is if the amp has and effects loop connect Send and Return with a signal cable. Same goes if the amp has a Pre-amp Out and a power amp in sockets.

The pairing of a 4x10 and a 1x15 is poor at best. Often it leads to the demise of the 15. Thinking that a larger cone equates to more bass is antiquated thinking. The 4x10 is more than capable of putting out more lows than a single 12 or a 15.

It pleases me to see a person who has been dragged up proper like!!

I have four Acme boxes and I love them. once I was setting a pair of them up and the band leader says reprovingly 'That's an awfully big bass amp Paul'. I wouldn't have minded but he stood on the other side of the stage with a pletora of instruments most of which he never actually played between us. I barely had room to stand let alone move. 🤯

How about emailing Celestion and asking them what the drivers are for? They should know after all!

@Merton Why would you consider this overkill? I stack my Acme B2 2x10s in the exact same way. There's safety in numbers and the two cabs take up the exact same stage space as one. You can hear yourself better 'cos the upper cabinet is closer to your ears. Add to that the dispersion out into the room is much improved so the audience hears you better too! It's a win, win situation.

Once while playing a gig at Toronto's Ontario Place we had to stack the keyboard players' 4x12 on top my twin 15. There were times when I felt dizzy and nauseous. We never did that again!! Sadly my hearing was never the same again!

Turn your bass down and the amp up as required.

I think BFM said all that needed saying in his post above.

A couple of hundred watts only takes you so far even if it "Sounds like 750W."

Necessity is indeed the mother of invention!!

It could be that you're just running out of headroom. The RH heads are not that powerful .

I admit I miss TalkBass. Not so much the site itself but the good friends I had on there.

It only sounds epic 'cos of that Wawick Streamer!! Great instruments. Mine is tuned B, E, A. D.

Your amplifier has a minimum load of 4Ω. You can connect ONE 4Ω cabinet to it. You can also connect TWO 8Ω cabinets to the amp using a two to one SpeakOn splitter. That equates to a 4Ω total load.

Yes it really does so you have to do the washing very carefully.

There are bathroom deodorizes available for just this purpose! One short spray hides all evils!

Sounds reasonable to me too!

According to a YouTube video I found the unit is supposed to have a socket for an extension speaker cabinet. If yours needed one to be added it will nOT be able to handle the lower impedance. Sorry.

My first thought too. If the amp has not been designed to work into 4Ω then it will fail. The only question is when?
