I remember posting this back on Bassworld. 110dB/W/m just doesn't bear thinking about, especially with over 6kW handling - it equates to nearly 150dB. Here's a link to the same thing in English: [url="http://www.royaldevice.com/custom.htm"]http://www.royaldevice.com/custom.htm[/url] Andy

What's the cab? If it's got more than one driver in it then it could probably be rewired to 2 Ohms if need be. Andy

Do SKB racks have a hole about 9mm square? If so, we use this sort of thing at work, so i could err [i]source[/i] some for you, along with screws and nylon cup washers. Andy

I had one for a while, but didn't use it enough to justify keeping it. Sounds good with a bass though - perfect for that Julee Cruze/Twin Peaks sound (I'm showing my age now...) No loss of low end that I could hear anyway. Andy

Great day out - meeting new people and putting faces to names. First the pics Trio of Arias courtesy of Bloodaxe - RAAAWWWWK!

[attachment=7111:PICT0355.JPG] The Vigier posse - Nick, Luke & Ped. [attachment=7112:PICT0360.JPG] Everyone loved the Attitude (oops) - one of the most played basses of the day [attachment=7113:PICT0343.JPG] A Warwick, a Celinder and a pair of Antoniotsais [attachment=7114:345R.JPG] The mojo from this Jazz filled the room [attachment=7115:339r.JPG] I'll post a few more when I've got them fit to look at! Highlights of the day for me were: Ari's MTD 5 string, Nik's Fender Roscoe Beck (only spotted as he was putting it away - Sorry Nik!), Luke's Epi 3x10 (I so have to stay away from things like this). Thanks to Ped and the guys for organising the Bash, and to everyone who came and made it a great day out. Andy

Car batteries don't last long in this sort of application, as they're designed for high current drain and long charge cycles. What you need are deep cycle batteries, as used in wheelchairs, golf buggies etc. They're designed to be run right down over a period of time, then recharged. A good deep cycle battery will discharge/recharge over 1000 times if cared for properly, whereas the best car batteries only survive a couple of hundred cycles when used like this. Andy

[quote name='bremen' post='157237' date='Mar 14 2008, 09:53 AM']I'm interested in one or more of these. Have you tried them?[/quote] Blimey, this might turn into a full time job ! I've never dealt with CADAudio before, but they're quite well known in HiFi/HT circles. I don't reckon there will be any problems with their gear. PM me if you're interested, and we can discuss specs and prices. Andy

If you're serious then yes, I could do it. Let me get some definite prices and availability and I'll get back to you. Andy

How about [url="http://www.cadaudio.dk/d500asw.htm"]one of these[/url] wrapped up in a metal box. Maybe something like [url="http://www.hammondmfg.com/pdf/1455Q2201.pdf"]this one[/url] in black anodised finish. Add a fused mains inlet and a speakon and you're there. Should be do-able for around £300. 500Watts in a 9x5x2 inch box with an all-up weight of not much more than 2 pounds. Andy

A bit more info would help - What sort of wattage are you after, what's your budget etc. There's a lot of stuff out there. Andy

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='52434' date='Aug 29 2007, 04:19 PM']"The amplifier automatically senses and adjusts itself to local voltage.” nice [/quote] It's a rare switch-mode supply that doesn't these days - they're making a feature of something I'd expect to be there Andy

I'll be bringing: Schecter Stiletto Studio 4 Peavey Grind 6 Some sort of amp - not sure what yet though. Andy

You may be able to get them rewound. Have a look in your local Yellow Pages for transformer or motor rewinding. Andy

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='138100' date='Feb 11 2008, 12:25 PM']As a complete electronics moron (no false modesty intended - I mean what I say), I thought the attraction of gold-plated connectors was that they never tarnish, so you always get a perfect connection?[/quote] The point is that in an installation, where plugs are connected once and then left alone for years, gold plating makes sense. In an application where plugs are in and out all the time, like on a bass or amp, then the action of plugging and unplugging can help keep the connectors tarnish-free. Andy Edit: Doh! Beaten to the punch!

With 4 4" speakers in it, I can't see it being all that small either. Andy

Sorry, meant to say 'if you [b]don't[/b] throw the bass switch'. Yes, it sounds thin when not in bass mode. Andy

I recently bought one off dub_junkie on here. Not had a chance to really use it in anger yet. It sounds pretty crap if you throw the bass switch, it cuts a lot of bottom. A bit of a one trick pony, but it's cool if you're into that funky autowah kind of sound. More extreme settings can sound a bit 'quacky'. It'd probably do a reasonable Bootsy imitation with a bit of work, but as I said I've not really pushed it yet. Just my £0.02 - YMMV Andy
