chrisanthony1211 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I'm wondering whether there is any benefit in splitting cabs to either side of the stage rather than stacking them on top of each other? Will splitting the cabs up to either side of the stage produce a fuller sound or would you be missing something by not stacking them, I can't say that I've seen people splitting their cabs up but it seem to make some sence to me.......

discreet Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I know Slade did it to great effect back in the day, but I've not tried it myself... would the gtr need to do the same thing too? Quote
xgsjx Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I think it depends how wide the stage is. If it's not all that wide, then you're probably better to stack near centre stage. Try splitting at your next gig's sound check though & see How it sounds. Quote

Bill Fitzmaurice Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Read this. It cites PA subs, but with bass cabs the same physics apply. http://www.prosoundweb.com/article/in_search_of_the_power_alley/ Quote
discreet Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I'm guessing comb filtering was a problem in the 70s when everyone had long hair, but now the fashion is for shorter hair (and with players going bald as they get older) is this still an issue in the twenty-first century? ...I'll get me wig.

gafbass02 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I do this at most pub gigs. Works great and reduces the intense wallop of my 800w stack to something more useable. Quote
