2x10 cab fitted with Volt Pro drivers

This was originally a Laney 2 x 10” cabinet but I have spent many hours upgrading it. The cab itself is now well braced and fitted with BAF wadding. It is rear ported (correctly tuned) and fitted with a Speakon input rather than the original jacks.

I’ve replaced the original drivers with two Volt model SB250, which is an OEM version of the BM251.3, details of which you will find on the Volt website: [url="http://www.voltloudspeakers.co.uk/"]http://www.voltloudspeakers.co.uk/[/url]. This is a very expensive driver, virtually the same (apart from the surround) as this one, which sells for £161 (each) from Wilmslow Audio: [url="http://www.wilmslow-audio.co.uk/b2508-486-p.asp"]http://www.wilmslow-audio.co.uk/b2508-486-p.asp[/url]

The Laney cabinet is very compact for a 2 x 10. Dimensions: 59 x 34 x 35 (W x H x D). I would estimate the weight at around 18 - 20kg. The Laney badge is no longer on the grille, but I can supply it separately for you to fit. Power handling is 300 watts, but I have never been able to get it anywhere near max. It works fine on its own and delivers plenty of low end but also ideal for stacking on top of a 15" cab, as it is 8 ohms. Edited by stevie

Sure. It would be £10 for delivery with UPS insured up to £50. Extra insurance costs four or five pounds more if you want it. For something as sturdy as this it's probably not worth it - but it's your call.

[quote name='Prime_BASS' post='1008158' date='Nov 1 2010, 08:57 AM']I had a word with myself and my idea was to double it up with my midget however, as the midget is rated for a lot more than 300w, this cab would start to fart before the midget would.

However which 2x12 is it?[/quote]
This cab should keep up with the Midget, because the xmax is similar and the cone area is larger. The amount of air moved is usually the limiting factor rather than thermal power handling. However, the only way to tell for certain would be to try it in practice.

I don't understand all this ohmage stuff?

If so I'll have it.

Thanks

Mike, it looks like the combo takes an additional 8-ohm speaker (which is the usual way of things) - so it would do. Unfortunately, another canny buyer has just pm'd me to say he'll have it. I'm going to put 'on hold' on the thread. In the unlikely event that the sale does not go through, I'll let you know.

Hi, Have I missed the price?
