MarkG3 Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Has anyone ever or have rigged up two super 12s? Or would doing this create so much low end and volume that the universe will implode Quote
LiamPodmore Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 It's something i've always wondered about, i've also wondered about 4 Super 12's in an 8x12 guitar style config, now that would 'cause structural damage. Liam Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Super 12s aren't the low endy ones. And I've never heard of anyone finding the limits of a single one. Quote
xgsjx Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 I'd like a stereo rig with 2 Big Twins stacked either side of the stage. Quote

PlungerModerno Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) How about 2 dubsters.... a crossover.... and two big twins. The dubsters get nothing above 200 - 500 Hz... The big twins take 200 - 500 up to the crossover to the mid drivers... and then two tweeters.... It'd go: BT_______________BT BT_______________BT BT_______________BT DD______________ DD DD_____stage_____DD DD_____centre____ DD with the Big twins (BT) on top of the Dubsters (DD). You'd need this big a stage to fire up that monstrosity. EDIT... sorry, this big: BT_____________________________________________BT BT_____________________________________________BT BT_____________________________________________BT DD______________ ______________________________DD DD____________________stage____________________DD DD____________________centre___________________ DD It would overpower most PA's... if given enough juice (hell it would be a fat ass PA system!). I just realized this is a 4 way system (15", 12", 6" and tweeters). Could work.... Edited July 9, 2012 by PlungerModerno Quote
bremen Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 You'd be better off stacking them all together rather than at opposite sides of a stage. http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=398 Quote

Outdoors you could hang them above the stage, 4 or more high, But for practical reasons a 'simple' Dubster, Big Twin stack is now a part of my gas list. Quote

You'd need a Simon Snorkel to get to the amp. If you're doing things in stereo, I think you would get a better stereo reproduction if the cabs was at opposite sides Quote

I'm now considering getting about 10 of each (Dubster and Big twin) and trying to rig a hall in surround sound. Acoustic nightmare... but It'd be LOOOOOOOOOUUUUD! I'm not serious.... that'd be a pricey experiment. Edited July 9, 2012 by PlungerModerno Quote
Musicman20 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I'd personally probably take the more boring 8x10 or 4x12 route (x2) by Aguilar as long as someone is moving them. Quote

Assuming you weren't driving it with a bass-buddy 10W built in power amp . Even then You'd get some volume... but nothing like the 8 GK fusion 550's I had planned to drive this (or 1 550, and a stack of 4 1000W+ poweramps) Quote

jonunders Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 why don't those who have st12's or dubsters get together somewhere disused, there's an olympic park in london which will be free in about 8 weeks and see if we can distroy it with a wall of sound. Quote
