jmsjabb Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Can you guys recommend me a 15" driver to fit in a cabinet to run with an Ashdown ABM210. I like the sound of the Ashdown and the 15 will just up the umph if needed, and not run the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Why not another ABM 2x10? If you like the sound you have but just want more of it, then it's the best way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monckyman Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The ABM 410s are more common than the 210s, and that would certainly give you more oomph. Not much bigger than the 15s and not much heavier. Especially if you put castors on. Failing that, there are a lot of peavey 15s about for not much, worth trying one or two of those.

Thurbs Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 You could put them both on their sides to arrange the drivers vertically and watch the middle of the audiance wonder where all the bass has gone...

Those diagrams show the overhead view of the stage and audience, and display why cabs (and individual drivers) should not be horizontally arrayed.

Two 2x10s on top of each other vertically are not about to remove the bass, they will help dispersion, and you will still get boundary effect with the bottom 2, maybe even 3 speakers and the floor.

So its massive bass presence but really punchy with the eminence driver.The Warwick might be headin to Italy by the weekend,pending payment,slow market for Warwicks at the mo,but I am getting asking price,its a rare one!
