ojplaysbass Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 hi this thought just occurred to me as i was putting my cab into storage..... i was told a while ago that you should never store a cab face down or face up because it puts undue stress on the cone fittings/seals etc. - this made sense to me at the time because the full weight of the driver would be placed on points that aren't neccessarily designed to cope with the strain.... so with my schroeder 1210 (where the 10" is set at an angle) is it a bad idea to store it vertically? my common sense tells me it's not a very good one but i've seen a lot of people using them in a vertical position when playing live (presumably for dispersion reasons?) so basically what i'm asking is.... is this : [attachment=100747:Schroeder1210frei_webvert.gif] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/67269248@N03/6923354317/in/photostream"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/67269248@N03/6923354317/in/photostream[/url] a good idea? cheers J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 There`s probably something to that, but most of my old cabs were kept face up in the boot of my car, except for when using them, and they never seemed to suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I've noticed that after a few years of being stored cone up, that'll come in handy one day, speaker cones do tend to sag downwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protium Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It'll be absolutely fine. Putting 500W of bass through it is way more stressful than it standing still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojplaysbass Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 lol thanks for your input guys - i guess they're gonna suffer from stress of some kind no matter the orientation of the cab.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
