[quote name='alexclaber' post='1126375' date='Feb 13 2011, 08:17 PM']700W between two cabs so 350W each. And that's irrelevant anyway as it'll be the unspecified excursion-limited power-handling restriction that kicks in first. Just 300W into an 8x10" stack will be so loud it'll drown out most drummers so it remains a moot point.[/quote] Alex, does this apply whichever way I connect them - either daisy chained or via 2 separate cables ?

[quote name='icastle' post='1126048' date='Feb 13 2011, 03:46 PM']Bl**dy Hell ! I thought it was wierd having speaker outputs on the front - I looked at the pic of the rear panel and completely missed them - three times! You sure you didn't just draw them on there? Totally take back what I said earlier but will leave it there as a lesson in both RTFM properly and humility.[/quote] It's definately got a couple of holes in the back.

[quote name='obbm' post='1125987' date='Feb 13 2011, 02:34 PM']Why would you want to send line-level to a speaker cabinet? It'll be very quiet. As for the original post I would imagine that the single Epi 4x10 will more than loud enough on its own. The problem has nothing to do with maximum power handling capability, it will be if the 2 cabs have different sensitivities i.e. dBs per watt. If it's all about image then stand the Epi on the top of the Peavey but don't connect it. By using two unmatched cabs on the single amp there will be no way to balance the perceived sound level. If you are intent on using these two very different cabs then you need a head with two separately adjustable power amp stages, or a rack pre-amp and stereo power amp or just get a separate power amp to drive the second cabinet and hang it onto the Firebass.[/quote] You say that ' The problem has nothing to do with maximum power handling capability '. But why not, 'cos if I put 700 watts out of the Firebass, surely the Epi would handle this, but the Peavey wouldn't ?? Sorry but I don't see why it isn't a problem.

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='1126028' date='Feb 13 2011, 03:19 PM']it should be fine to daisy chain them together. Pretty sure the firebass is built to handle 2 ohm minimum load.[/quote] Yes it does take 2 ohms. Would it be 2 ohms if I daisy chained them, and if I used both speaker outlets ?

Hi, I have two 410 cabs. One is a Peavey, 450 w at 4 ohm, and the other is ( or soon will be ) an Epifani, 1,000 w at 4 ohm. At the moment I have a Peavey Firebass amp, with 2 parallel speaker outputs. It has a crossover, with separate outputs for high and low, but these can only be used to put one of the signals back into the power amp section. So I assume this won't do it - as there are only the parallel speaker outputs. So do I fit some sort of external, in-line resistor in the line output to the 450 w speaker cab ? Or do I need a new amp which will do this. If so, what feature do I need to do this ? Thanking You in anticipation.

I have another thread ' amp for a 410 cab', saying that I like the sound of my Peavey 410 cab with a Peavey Firebass head. But I want to get another amp, and was thinking of the OTB 500. I did try one previously with 12" speaker cabs and it was ok, before I decided on the 410 route. So do you Oranges think the TB 500 would be ok with my P 410 ?

So, I've tried loads of cabs with 12" speakers, bur having recently bought an old Peavey 410, I prefer the sound of this to all the previous cabs. I use a Hofner Club, semi accoustic with flat wound strings, so I guess theb 410's take out the woolyness. I'm using this cab with a Peavey Firebass 700, which is ok, but is really heavy. I'm gonna keep the cab, but which lightweight amp would sound similar to the firebass ? I tried an Orange terror, which was ok with the previoius 12's, but would it suit this P 410 ?

[quote name='4 Strings' post='1101430' date='Jan 24 2011, 09:44 PM']Used to have Kimono My House years ago. Wish I still did. Must admit, I thought they were Aussies.[/quote] Yeah, ' This Town ' , in 1974 was so different. And I imagined at the time they were German for some reason. But they're American.

Anyone seen the video of Sparks - Strange Animal. Ron still has the same expression on his face. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GjiaBM3XMy4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...p;v=GjiaBM3XMy4[/url]

[quote name='mybass' post='1092829' date='Jan 17 2011, 05:48 PM']Maybe call these people, they seem to have a load of old stuff, some for sale. Hiwatt 4x12 for over a grand. [url="http://www.harris-hire.co.uk/harris_forsale.pdf"]http://www.harris-hire.co.uk/harris_forsale.pdf[/url][/quote] had a chat with Phil Harris. Great bloke, very helpful, and seams to know everything about vintage stuff. Thanks for the lead.

I changed the drivers to take more power. I had a TH RH 450 head, which ran the 300 w celestions ok. But when I changed to an Orange Terror 500, they couldn't take the power. 450 to 500 shouldn't make a difference, but it did. So I changed one first, and it handled the power no problem. Comparing the two, the eminences are not as loud at the volume setting ( lower SPL ) but to me sound better. So I changed the other.

EDIT - one of the cabs, the PC, is now sold. This leaves the Zoot cab which is getting lonely. The post below has been edited to suit. A Purple Chili / Zoot 1 x 12 cab. It has been fitted with an Eminence 3012 LF ( instead of the original celestion ) . These are 450 w each at 8 ohm. The cab for sale is the bottom one in the picture. Unmarked, and complete with cover. Size 20.5 " wide x 19.5" high x 16" deep, and weigh 13 kg. Selling for £ 270 including delivery. EDIT - I could replace the Eminence with a new, original Celestion BN 12 orange, for the same price. Therefore, it would be as new, with new driver, and unmarked cabinet, with cover, for £270. New these cost £375 each, without the cover, and the Eminence cost £115. .

I like the sound of my two 1x12 cabs. But I've just bought an old Peavey 4 x 10, and it's got more bass. The 12's are neo's in small cabs, and the 10's are in a big heavy box. is it the box that makes the difference ?

Eminence Kappa 15 C

[quote name='gareth' date='Jan 20 2011, 09:02 PM' post='1096809'] Will this fit a trace elliot 1518 cabinet? I have one with a blown speaker and have been tempted to put a 4ohm unit in it so i can use the cab on its own with my te V6 amp Thanks [/quote) I don't know, but it should do. Your cab has a 15" celestion as standard. I've just changed the 12" speakers in my cabs from celestion to eminence, and they fitted ok. If you could get the dimensions of yours, either by measuring or from TE, I could compare them to mine.
