Ou7shined Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 [quote name='eude' timestamp='1331638671' post='1576211'] That's not bad at all when you think about it mate, the MarkBass 102P Cab lists about £650, so you've built something for a lot less, that's likely a lot better, looks a lot cooler and it's all yer own. Reckon you should get your logo on it and make it official Eude [/quote] I suppose so. It would be cool to A/B it with an original one eh. Sheesh, I can't wait to let you guys hear this at the next bash. I might drop Dave line about the logo. He has a mate who made him up some temporary gel logos to go on his early cabs for trade fairs etc. It would be good for a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything over 40lbs (old money) becomes a ball ache to move around a lot, so that's comfortably under the achey ball limit. Good work that man! The drivers you used must be a lot lighter, as you have a fair bit of extra kit on there compared to the MarkBass as far as I can see.

In my hands there wasn't a hell of a lot of difference between one 2510 and the tweeter. I can't find the overall weight of either online but if you look at their specs [url="http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=EMIAPT80&browsemode=manufacturer"]Eminence APT80 Supertweeter[/url] vs [url="http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=EMIDLIT2510&browsemode=manufacturer"]Eminence Deltalite II 2510[/url] you'll see that the tweeter's magnet is actually heavier.

markstuk Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Of course what no speaker supplier is telling us is that the price of Neodymium has more than halved over the past six months..... http://www.metal-pages.com/metals/neodymium/metal-prices-news-information/ Edited March 14, 2012 by markstuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Feckin bread-heads just hiking up the prices because they know we [b]need[/b] these magnets? Maybe I should hang on to my S2010's (the ones I originally picked up for this) a bit longer then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 To be fair it will take some time to feed into the supply chain, but I suspect speaker prices won't come down as fast as they went up.. It's petrol all over again.. How can a price rise in crude oil immediately affect the prices of petrol actually in the filling station..? And if it does, why does a price reduction in crude oil not immediately lower the price of petrol in the filling station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would two of these be a match for it?... Eude [/quote] Two of these would certainly rip the nuts off my 4x10 but I don't have an amp that'll go down to 2 ohms to try it. It would be interesting to see what happens 1 on 1 though. I'll put my neck on the line here and say that I think my cab is probably the more articulate of the two (I feel like a heretic saying that).... maybe its just the honeymoon period talking... maybe not. I haven't actually A/B'd them yet... something I could try this weekend if the neighbours nip out for a bit. The band won't be having any rehearsals for a couple of weeks as our guitard has a heavy work load at uni, so that opportunity is out. I'm really not sure what to expect pitting an 8 ohm 4x10 against a 4 ohm 2x10. I certainly don't remember the 4x10 ever making the dishes in the kitchen cupboards rattle themselves into pieces the way this wee beastie can... but then again I've probably never cranked it in the house as I usually only ever get it out for gigs. The 2x10 is way more sensitive to the master volume on my wee amp than the 4x10. I had a guy round yesterday afternoon getting his bass set up (he's a pretty hard player using a pick) and I had the vol down to almost nothing (literally a degree or two more would turn it off) and it was still too loud for the volume police next door.
