waynepunkdude Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) I have been offered this cab but the guy doesn't know what it's worth and nor do I. 2 questions. How much is it worth? Would my amp (SVT 5 -Pro) run it (6 OHMs) and my 1 X 5 (8 OHMs) ? Edited July 8, 2009 by waynepunkdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I can't help you with the value Wayne, but that's a Tech Soundsystems cab rather than Tech 21. I believe they're now called Tec Amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 and 8 ohm and a 6 ohm should be happy with an amp set at 4 ohm. Not sure they'd balance out too well though. Think they are super nice cabs, and its beat up, heading toward Doom, not there yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) As has been stated it's a Tech Soundsystems cab and if perspective isn't skewing things then that is an ND6x12 cab (1800w and 104db sensitivity)... why the hell would you need to add a 1X15? In all seriousness that single cab would operate far better by itself than if you added another cab into the equation. I owned the 6x10 version and it was a monster, in fact it still resides with a BCer. Dood and a great many others can chip in with views on these cabs if you change the title to 'Tech Soundsystems'! Value - based upon the fact that 4x10 and 4x12 examples have been offered for £500-£600 (good condition), I'd say that the 6x12 is worth about that if not a smidgen more BUT I'm taking in to account the fact that the cab looks well used and that most of the 4x10s and 4x12s out there are enough for most people, so in this instance I'd not pay a huge amount more for the extra 2 drivers. <edit for typo> Edited July 8, 2009 by warwickhunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 If its 6x12 = Doom and I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thanks for the help guys, sorry about the title the guy said it was a Tech 21 and because it said 'Tech' on the front I had no reason to doubt him. I'm considering it but I don't want to lose the range I get at the moment with the 4 X 10 + 1 X 15 so I''' give it a test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I don't think you need worry about losing your range... They're £1600ish new (well, 1950 E anyway) - check out [url="http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/home/index.html"]http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/home/index.html[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Quite a powerful beast then, I could run my amp @ 1350W Mono-bridged, that could be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'd love to know more about Tecamp gear. What are they like?! Do they have good resale? Is Tech Soundsystems now Tecamp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But today it isn't (though I have probably used a different link...) This is the [url="http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/home/index.html"]Tech Soundsystems[/url] page, but whether it is an old page that has been left on the server I don't know.

I've not had to use it at full pelt that often but when I did, the promoter had complaints from the neighbourhood, I sh*t you not. Check all the drivers individually, listen at a lowish volume at the centre of each speaker, next, put some welly through it and check out how the tweeter sounds at high volume, mine was farting when I bought it but I thought it was an eq thing, I had to replace the voice coil a few months later as it was f***ed. Give it a try, they are insanely light and sound like a huge heavy bastard. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Would love to have that 6x12 sitting in my garage, but judging by most of the gigs I do it will only ever come out once every couple of years at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hi All! Sorry for the late reply.. yes, I am a BIG fan of the Tech Sound System gear. I have been lucky enough to try most of the range, including the 6x12, 4x10, 4x12 etc. I chose two ND410's for my rig as I was running a stereo set up and wanted a big punchy sound and to make use of the 1KW RMS per channel available from my power amp. Had I have decided to go for a mono set up (for example what I am using now) then the 6x12 could have gone home with me that day instead. Over all though, on the day, the 2 4x10's had a bit more punch through than the 4x12. I mean, like , the kick drum 100Hz type thump which sounded great with my Shuker I had at the time. I must admit, I am now panging for something similar again.. but its probably just GAS... Though watch this space, as there is a company I wanna have a chat with lol...

I'd love to have another go with all of them in a different environment, but both rooms weren't too dissimal from some of the dismall venues I have had the misfortune of playing in, in the past!
