ashevans09 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Just out of interest/for a bit of a laugh, anyone got some examples of some really stupid cabs? I'm talking things like 8x15s and things like that. It's a sunday and I'm bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Ampeg's 32x10 beast, actually works too, as does the giant SVT on top. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Years ago I very nearly bought 4 Peavey 18" cabs, which were in a local shop and had been the bottom end of a reggae PA. They were going really cheap, like £75 apiece, but they were roughly the size, shape and weight of a washing machine, each. Luckily I decided to move one across the shop to try it out. I put my back out and saw sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 http://basschat.co.uk/topic/158701-fs-birch-ply-4x15-home-made-l75-collected/page__p__1728315__hl__4x15__fromsearch__1#entry1728315 And Orange Smart power ones, half the power you put in is sunk into a speaker performing the function the back of the other speaker would otherwise perform.

I think the biggest was a 6x15 Kustom brand cab from the late 60's/early 70's. Balcro. Edited July 22, 2012 by Balcro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 US company Basson, who I believe are now out of business, used to make some crazy cabs, including a 615. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) The Tecamp Bad Cab. 2 tweeters, 4 tens, 2 twelves and 2 fifteens. 2400W power handling but if that's not enough it's available as a special order in 8ohms, so you can use 2 with most amps. Edited: forgot about the tweeters. Edited July 22, 2012 by Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam [/quote] Actually it's a 36x10! And the Giant SVT CL is 800W all valve I believe, or 1000W I was given the specs for them ages ago haha!

I know that the techies amongst us have a field day over the common-all-garden 4x10 and it's vertically aligned drivers - but this? Ahhhhhh it's enough to make their heads explode with frustration. This is a beast that wasn't designed with phase alignment in mind, rather levelling houses and I bet it sounds awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
