Mixing Bass Bins?

[RogerDodger]

We have a PA consisting of a Behringer Wing mixer (too complicated for me to use. I like old fashioned knobs!), Mackie SRM 450 tops and SWA1501 bottoms. 

One 1501 is ours, the other is "borrowed". We've been looking for a second 1501 for us, but I see on-line that they can have expensive reliability problems.

 

If we bought another manufacturer's bass bin and use both together, would it / could it cause  problems? At least then, if the Mackie died we would still have the other.

If not identical you can have one coasting while the other is stressed.

OK. Thanks. Guess I'll keep an eye out for another 1501.

Build a couple of Bill's subs and sell your 1501.

One would be sufficient. ☺️
