funkle Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Hi all, I am downsizing my rig, and now looking to sell on my custom Flite cabinet. In a nutshell, it’s a light (50 lb) stereo 4x10. It was built by Kurt Meyer at Flite for a US customer who wanted two 2x10s put into a single 4x10 sized cabinet and still have it be superlight. I bought it off him when he downsized his rig, about 5 years ago. (Flite has changed hands in the meantime, is now owned by a chap called Gerry Suprenant. The website is now at [url="http://www.flitecabs.com"]http://www.flitecabs.com[/url].) The cabinet has been handled carefully, and the carpeting is in good condition. The specs are as follows: - each side is a 3-way 2x10 cab; they are built together to make it a 4x10 (a la old Ampeg SVT cabs). - Rated at 300 watts RMS @ 4 ohms/side - 600 watts total - Each side has two 10” woofers, a 5" mid, and a tweeter - Speakers are Eminence, but I have never found out the exact model. - Each side has attenuators for the mids and highs - Each side has two Speakon connectors and a 1/4" input connector - The previous owner said the efficiency rating was 99db @ 1watt/meter. It certainly has been plenty loud enough for anything I’ve thrown at it (mind you, I have a Peavey DPC 1400X to power it…) - comes with a custom non-padded cover - 26” high x 28” wide x 14.75” deep - Weight 50 lbs This has been a great cab for me – light, loud, punchy, and even. However, I’m just not doing the big gigs that need this size of cab at the moment. I’m looking for [b]£425[/b] + shipping. Pickup is fine if preferred, and you are welcome to try it out if you are in Edinburgh. Pete Edited November 21, 2008 by funkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when I have detuned to D it has been fine, and the chap I bought it off originally said it compared well to his Acme's as well (presumably due to the 3-way design). It has seemed a fairly tonally even cabinet to me; I haven't had to use a lot of EQ when I've playing with it. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well the acmes I owned were pretty faithful and they had a very even sound, inspite of their inefficiency. Were there any specs included with the cab? For anyone who wants a compact stereo set up, this would be about as compact as it gets. Have to admit I'm gassing quite a bit for it, but I should stick with my plans for wedges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi Crazykiwi The only specs I had were the ones listed, which were 300W @ 4 ohms per side [giving 600W total] and the SPL rating of 99db @ 1 watt/metre. I'm not sure if that's per 'side' (I suspect it is) or with both sides going. Unfortunately no SPL/frequency graphs etc. I have had no problems being heard in a band context and getting a great sound. I play funk and jazz, currently with a 4-piece band.

funkle Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I have emailed Gerry at Flite to see if he can dig out some specs for this cab - I'll post when I know. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
