waynepunkdude Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I have heard this argued a lot on here but I play all the time in my bass room no worries with one 4 X 10 I plugged in another this afternoon, keep the setting the same and my neighbour came round saying, and I quote 'sh*t is falling off of my shelves." Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Half the impedance, plus twice the coupling, means 4 times the power going into the air (6db gain), there is sounding louder, but power in the air makes stuff shift off walls.

xgsjx Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I tend to use a porcelain pan to store mine in (it holds loads & seems to be bottomless). I just stored some in the inlaw's porcelain pan about 10 mins ago as I had some spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Two is better than one When I add a 1 x 15 to my 2 x 10 combo, it gets mighty loud! Oh and yeah, stuff falls off and windows rattle!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Vincent Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 If stuff doesn't fall off shelves then you're not doing it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Great advert for people buying an extra cab This story reminds me of the video intro to 'Black and White' by Michael Jackson... Blow that b@stard through the roof, Wayne!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Yep, with my old set-up of Ampeg cabs, using the 410 on its own sounded good, but adding the 210 just made the sound sooooo much bigger. Unfortunately, my back couldn`t deal with them, so its a single light-ish 410 for me from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 I do have another 2 cabs I could hook up to it, that would be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankai Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Has anyone been tempted to use all their heads and cabs to create some mammoth wall of sound,[i] and[/i] try it at home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbours complained, apparently........ I used ear plugs and was still blown away by the shear volume. I used the Marshall full rig and the line out through my PA. My friend who lives 6 doors away says he also could hear it with clarity! Rock & Roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (Considers options) I could do this; Bass -> 4track mixer -> Trace head and QSC power amp. Slave my 1x12 80w combo from the Trace line out. Drive 4x10, 1x15 and 2x10 cabs from various amps. Has promise. I think the combo [i]might[/i] get a bit lost.

Fortunately I live in a detached house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
