I don't know what amp you're using, but that might be the limiting factor rather than the speaker. Try something that produces 500W into 8 ohms and see what happens. My amp is an EA iAmp800, which produces 500W at 8Ohms, so well matched with speaker. Got an old-fashioned toroidal transformer in it, so not short of power. Got my eye on an old bass cab on eBay with considerably more internal volume, circa 110 litres. Think that will make a difference? Modelling it at 46Hz seems good, although with a big 'maximum power' dip. Edited August 23, 2019 by Sharkfinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 The speaker is pretty much in an optimum cab at 68 litres. Once you start moving away from optimum, the modelling programs give you different answers. It does look like you'll get more output between 40 and 60 Hz at 1 watt, but there's unlikely to be much difference, if any, in the maximum acoustic power at 500 watts. The easiest and most effective, if not the most convenient, solution, is the one you've come up with already: add a second cab when you need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
