[quote name='molan' timestamp='1453993948' post='2965122'] Unfortunately my car is a 'coupe' so I can't convert completely. The rear seats do fold but I I'd have to load through the car so it would be a bit of a pain. There is enough space in terms of volume but it's the load angle getting the 1126 over the lip of the boot that causes the problem. The ones that amazed me were the Aggie Sl112's - I can fit two of those in the same space! [/quote] Ah, it looks like you're safe for now... until it's time to get a new car

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1453994789' post='2965135'] If you get curious enough you could always pop off the connector plate at the back and stick your phone camera in the hole (with the flash turned on) . I think it's likely to be the Eminence Beta 12, as TKS have said they use Eminence and it's a 250 watt rated ceramic driver, with specs that very closely resemble TKS's published specs when you model it in that size box. But I may be off the mark with that one! A bit slower than I anticipated at first, the boxes are assembled but I still need to do the baffles, round off the corners and paint them. I'll probably get a bit of a move on next week, as I'd like to use them for a gig in a fortnight. There's a thread in the Build Diaries section. If they do turn out to perform similarly to the S112s, you're welcome to try them stacked up with yours with the series/parallel cable. [/quote] Thank you , I'll ask Tommy first, but yeah, I might try that if he doesn't answer (I doubt it!). ooh, I'll look for that thread. The gig... is it in Edinburgh? I'm getting a second pair of S112s on Sunday! Yes, I know... crazy. I'm driving to Carlisle to meet Karlfer and he'll take my 1126s in exchange for his two S112s and some cash. Then I'll spend the rest of the day doing a little tourism around Hexham... and on Monday I'll use all 4 S112s at rehearsal with the RATM band.

That should be made into a movie!!! Well, it may not have a lot of appeal to the larger audience but I'd watch it Great result!

[quote name='such' timestamp='1454004235' post='2965326'] I see a couple of these in my future (this year probably). Apparently there's a Candy Apple Red coming out soon as well as lacquered-board fretlesses. [/quote] Candy apple red? If it's a maple neck I'm doomed...

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1453987893' post='2964975'] I really like the 1126 cabs - unfortunately they don't fit in the boot of my car [/quote] Funny that. A big reason I got my pair of 1126 was that they fitted perfectly in the boot of my small car (A3 Sportback), as you may remember I found something yesterday... I have a couple of BF cabs that almost but not quite fitted in my boot. I always carried one in the boot and another on my backseat. They looked like they *almost* could fit but it was impossible to get both there. Last night I was transporting 3 sets of speakers with my seats down, and after unloading at the end of the night I decided to leave the two BF in the car overnight. What I found was that with both cabs in place in the boot, I could pull the backseat up just fine... and voila! They do fit after all! It's just that there's no extra clearance to get them in or out without loosening the backseat backrest first. I'm not saying that it will solve your problem, of course... but if you think they are almost there but not quite, perhaps it'll help... and then you can let your lust for the 1126 go wild?

The 1126s are great cabs. I am letting my two go on Sunday (long irrelevant story), and yesterday I was comparing them to a bunch of other speakers, with various amps and three different players... and a little bit of me was crying They really sound good. And look good too!

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1453987709' post='2964971'] Did any of the set ups obviously move more air than the others ? [/quote] I'd say the Barefaced. Perhaps unsurprisingly But the TKS 1126 or the Vanderkley were not shy at all either! The S112 pair sounds great to me, but when you place them next to those others, they feel a bit like an underdeveloped teenager in a Mr Universe contest If yesterday were a test in a shop, I don't think I would have chosen the S112. However, fortunately, I *know* how they sound in a band situation and they are very good, just not as powerful. But the three of us have slightly different tonal goals... I think Deek really hated the S112 I'll write my impressions in more detail later.

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1453990992' post='2965050'] I was going to say Ampeg SVT (or the cheeky Bugera clone) but I guess you want something a bit more portable! [/quote] ha ha yes... portable is the name of the game... the recent game of musical chairs has only come about by a need to reduce bulk further... I used to have lots of storage space, then I had lots more... and now I have very little, and the situation is unlikely to change until much later in the year, so I am taking the opportunity to find ways to reduce bulk in general. So far so good, it led me to discover the TKS S112 cabs and I love them. They don't have a huge sound or anything but... there's just something about them that I really really like. I have to ask Tommy what speakers he puts in those. How are yours coming along?

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1453989951' post='2965037'] Various TC amps are either 2ohm or 2.6ohm, my Thunderfunk TFB750-A and the Mesa D800 goes to 2ohm. You can also run 2 4ohm amps into 2 4ohm cabs by daisy chaining the amps. [/quote] Yup, another option was using two amps indeed. I like that redundancy as an 'insurance' of sorts... what are the chances that an amp will fail? well, what are the chances that BOTH will fail? In fact I might test that with the LM3, as I have an LM3 and a CMD121P combo (an LM3 head in combo form), as I really like the Markbass... and getting a second LM3 would be a lot cheaper than a Mesa D800 or something like that... So many amps, so little time!

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1453987515' post='2964967'] The new Eich 1000 - 2x500W at 2 ohms or bridged, 1x1000W at 4 ohms. Not a cheap option though. [/quote] It doesn't need to be cheap. But I can't find any info about the Eich 1000, regarding price... I imagine it'll be similar to the Puma 1000?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1453986645' post='2964944'] Splitter cable from OBBM. [/quote] Too late... I have ordered that already It's my first test, see how my existing amps deal with the four cabs at 8ohm (two pairs of 8 ohm in parallel = two sets of 4ohm.. then those in series = 8ohm) But because I'm not 100% sure the Streamliner 900 is for me, this situation is opening the possibility of my changing amps to something I like a bit better and get the 2ohm option since I'm at it... we'll see.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1453985858' post='2964926'] Small and Light - Mesa D800 [/quote] wait! I missed this... the Subway D800 does 2ohm?? I heard one in action yesterday and you know what? It wasn't half bad I didn't realise it did 2ohm... hmmm. Interesting. I'm not sure I *need* (or want) to change amps just yet but the D800 is now firmly in my radar, thank you! and thanks for all the other suggestions too! Lots to look at

I like the Markbass LM3 and the GB Streamliner 900, for different reasons as they are pretty different. It would be great if they could cope with 2 ohm loads. There aren't that many amps out there that do... do you know which ones do? Especially if you think they are in some way similar to either those two? But ok if they're different

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1453979466' post='2964821'] I'm GASing for a P bass and one of these could fit the bill just nicely.... how to decide that's the real question [/quote] no question: blue and maple!!!

Yup... The VLE filter in particular I use a lot. It's perfect to 'round' up the edges of the sound a bit. I use the EQ very lightly and VLE is just lovely.

It happened... see more details here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/277818-a-room-full-of-amps-cabs/
