    These are 15” subs from JBL. They are fairly unique in that they are powered, taking a standard Line Level signal via XLR but will also take an output from an amp/powered mixer. So you can add then to a system with passive tops. They feature level and crossover frequency controls and have a loop through function via XLR. They only accessories will be the IEC mains lead. They are not particularly heavy at under 19.5Kg and easy to move with the built in handles although they will be expensive and difficult to ship. The spec is shown below but you can download the full User Manual at https://jblpro.com/en/site_elements/eon-sub-g2-user-s-guide

    Made with Neutrik Nickel connectors and Sommer's Spirit LLX low loss cable, You cannot buy a better cable. Add £3 for postage.

    Try these:

    I am sorry if it came over that way. I just wanted to make things clear. Anyway I have found the Neutrik recommended wiring schemes for speakon if it helps anyone. 03 Section speakON PG EN 202202-V23.pdf

    That is bi-amping.

    Are you suggesting this purely for the bracing? Most builders stoped using that type of adhesive for cabinet edges some time ago.

    Nice work Phil.

    My local store, Absolute Music have closed their Cafe. Strange they have students in all day and I often used to spend a spare half hour there. Sadly despite its size, the selection is limited with the choice being as many Fender basses in various guises. So now pop into Guitar Mania, close by and a proper old style music shop.

    Most speakons are wired plus one minus one and +2-2 are unused. There are two main exceptions where the +2 & -2 are used, firstly for bi-amping and secondly how 100V line systems. They can also be used as an extra pair to share the load in a powerful PA. In 99 % of bass applications, only +1-1 are used, (Typed without glasses so E&OE)

    Rean are a subsidiary of Neutrik and the Rean speakons are to the same standard as far as I know and are very similar to the older Neutrik Speakons.

    It won't be as good as one of mine of course 🤣

    The SW bash is always a Sunday, Saturday is the busiest day for Gigs.

    The main issue with SpeakOns is that a 4way plug cannot mate with a 2 pin socket. The cable should be OK as said by others as long as it is copper. There are some far eastern cables that use CCAW, Copper Covered Aluminium Wire. I am sure Thomann would not sell you a pup but it is expensive if you just buy this with the £10 shipping.

    It has half the weight of the cables on the tagboard, more chance of me getting to the moon that that coming adrift on its own.

    £349 but what is missing?

    That measures the DC resistance. Impedance includes the AC properties of the speaker or speaker/crossover combination.The impedance will be higher than the DC resistance because you have to add the inductive reactance to that to obtain the impedance and that is frequency dependant.

    I would be doing the FrankenP mods (click on the link for YouTube video) that allow the mids to be scooped or unscooped. He also shows another mod/switch to change the gain/bandpass filter.

    Those Amazon systems do not state the frequency band used just saying Sub G and UHF. Realistically this means from about 450 MHz to 1 Gigahertz. it probably means that there were produced for the US bands licensed for Wireless audio. These bands do not coincide with UK licensed bands and are, as @tauzero says, are illegal. This is true of most of the UHF systems from China, available from AliExpress and sometimes Amazon/Ebay.

    I asked Antex about the recommended temperature for Lead free solder and they say 400 C. One thing that is important is to use the correct sized bit. My Antex rework station has a 50W iron and with the correct sized bit, there is nothing I have failed to solder since I have had it. I have 6mm, 4.7mm, 3mm and 2.4mm.

    It is not that useful IMHO but it is there.

    This is not as easy as it sounds although I have been looking at the idea for a while.

    It is all about opinion and I believe that you amp/cab choice is a part of your instrument, like the body of an acoustic guitar. There is no right or wrong. I don't like the sound of the MB cabs I have heard but that does not make me right and you (and thousands of satisfied MB users) wrong. Enjoy your new cabs.

    I was going to offer to do the mod for people, for a drinking voucher or two, but it was too expensive when you consider the pedal price. Mind you I have not done my own yet....🤣

    This does have a tuner built in, from the HB website "Integrated chromatic tuner with easy-to-read LCD display" however its not a patch on the tuner in my zoom pedals, not easy to see, however it has plenty of power for other pedals.

    I followed the same path had the Monaco and traded that for a Monza. Nice and light but I use mine for backline and is is more than man enough for any gig I have done with either of my bands. One of my bands asked where the rest of my rig was when I first turned up with the Monaco, Of course I had to turn up to 5.5 (half way to 11) and was very loudly asked to turn it down. Nothing was said when I changed to the 10" Monza.
