[quote name='escholl' post='518876' date='Jun 19 2009, 09:42 PM']iirc (and i could be way off) the originals had guitar drivers in them that had very low excursion limits, so in order to actually handle the bass frequencies put out by the 300 watt ampeg head, two cabs had to be used. these would have been the very old cabs though, even if your cab is 30 years old it's still too new for this to apply. but like i say, i could be way wrong. i'm sure someone will correct me. the point is, really, that there's no practical application for 2 8x10's -- and it will in fact just make the radiation pattern less predictable.[/quote] its a vintage squareback.but i need to replace two of the speakers.anyone know where i could find some?

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='518952' date='Jun 19 2009, 11:09 PM']Even worse. Read this: [url="http://www.prosoundweb.com/article/in_search_of_the_power_alley/"]http://www.prosoundweb.com/article/in_sear...he_power_alley/[/url] The original CTS were 30 watt guitar drivers, as were the first generation (early 70s) Eminence that were copies of them. The result was great highs, but limited low end capability, so a pair of cabs were necessary to handle the SVT head. Later drivers have better low end, and don't require two cabs, but they also don't have the highs of the earlier cabs.[/quote] that article explains it very simply. is there something similair to explain the effect of having them side by side?

[quote name='escholl' post='518817' date='Jun 19 2009, 08:11 PM']pretty much. outside of some select applications like doom metal or the original ampeg cabs, there is actually no practical need for two 8x10's.[/quote] whats the relevance of the old ampeg cabs?? pretty sure mine is a very old one.i'll have to check.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='518782' date='Jun 19 2009, 07:30 PM']That'll cause yet more sonic problems, with big lows where they combine and no lows where they don't, so your sound will vary even more around the venue. So unless you specifically want more sound right in front of your rig but less sound getting to your bandmates (which is why the likes of Steve Harris uses four 4x12"s) then stick with one cab. If you want the look then do what the touring bands do and use one working cab and a load of dummy cabs. Alex[/quote] so really...having two together is a big nono?

coz it looks really cool.didn't know that it would give me a poorer sound though what about if they were positioned either side of the drummer.he loves it.plus would give my rhythm guitarist a great monitor.he loves it too.in rehearsal he's always hanging around my cab.

ampeg 15E.ampeg 410HE. svt classic series. don't know how to post pics but i can email them.thay are on ass bay at the moment.seller name redwingtaping. Looking for a speaker cabinet to brighten up your bottom-heavy bass rig? Or, maybe you’ve recently downsized your transportation to save a few bucks on fuel, and no longer have room to haul your beloved SVT-810E to the gig. The SVT-410HE delivers superb full-range performance, all the way up to 18kHz—and it’ll fit in your new ride. The Ampeg SVT-410HE is also the ideal enclosure for the player who wants to add extended upper register clarity to a system that already features ample low frequency performance. Just ask George Clinton—he uses an SVT-410E to round out the top-end of his killer, all-SVT stage setup. * ¼” and Neutrik Speakon® Jacks * Variable HF “L-Pad” * 2” Swivel Casters * Baltic Birch Plywood LF Drivers: 4 x 10” Voice Coil: 2” Magnet Weight (each): 30 oz HF Drivers: Horn/Driver Voice Coil: 1” Magnet Weight (each): 8 oz RMS Power Handling: 500-Watts Frequency Response (-3dB): 60Hz-18kHz Usable Low Frequency (-10dB): 43Hz Nominal Impedance: 8-Ohms Sensitivity: 98dB Maximum SPL: 122dB Dimensions (W x H x D inches): 24 x 25 x 16 Weight: 91 Pounds CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS. When only the fat, warm sound of a 15” speaker will get the job done, we highly recommend the SVT-15E. Armed with a massive five-pound magnet, the SVT-15E’s custom-designed 15” speaker generates chest-thumping low end like nobody’s business—all the way down to 33Hz. Team it up with the SVT-CL head and maybe an SVT-12HE, for top-end, and you’re guaranteed to get the dance floor moving. * ¼” and Neutrik Speakon® Jacks * Baltic Birch Plywood * 2” Swivel Casters LF Drivers: 1 x 15” Cast Voice Coil: 2.5” Magnet Weight (each): 80 oz RMS Power Handling: 200-Watts Frequency Response (-3dB): 50Hz-3kHz Usable Low Frequency (-10dB): 33Hz Nominal Impedance: 8-Ohms Sensitivity: 98dB Maximum SPL: 123dB Dimensions (W x H x D inches): 24 x 22 x 16 Weight: 72 Pounds[attachment=27387:005.JPG]

-

-
which ones are easily obtainable second hand is gonna be a big help.
-
selling my ampeg 1x15 and 4x10.gonna buy me an ampeg 8x10 but thought i'd pop the question regarding valid alternatives.
-
still not had these photos.on the trail of another one as well.mapleglo.couple of years old.
-
using the svt in the house is getting just plain ridiculous now.looking for something small.lightweight is handy but not essential.nice tone.good value.nice looks always a bonus.
-
i do actually have a very old ampeg 8x10 in the garage.needs a little love though.dog ate two of the speakers!!!!!!!!
-
barefaced vintage is catching my eye.
-
well, im sticking with the svt head.but the cabs just aren't cutting it.pretty open minded.weight and size is not a major issue.
-

[quote name='Bassassin' post='512157' date='Jun 12 2009, 02:37 PM']No disrespect to the seller but some copies - particularly the Matsumoku-built neckthroughs, were near-indistinguishable from the real thing, & many have ended up with real Rickenbacker TRCs and serial numbered jackplates. If you can take some detailed pics & post them here then it will be possible to confirm 100% whether this is genuine or not. 4001 trussrods are very eccentric - they don't work simply by tightening the nuts & what the guy said sounds like perhaps he doesn't know this. Essentially the neck needs to be bent by hand to the desired relief, and the rods are then tightened to hold it in place. It's also possible that the truss rods aren't the problem - Rick bodies are very thin & where neck & body join is a potential weak spot because of the big pickup route under the scratchplate. Years of high-tension strings can cause it to warp there, and to be honest I don't know how repairable that is. Signs of this might show as cracking in the finish at the join between the body wings & neck section at this point. Jon.[/quote] i'll get some pictures and post them up.that won't happen until next week at some point.
