William James Easton Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Any Basschatter play through a cab with differnt size speakers in the one enclosure? Lets say a 1x15 + 1x10 + 1x6.5? or a 2x12 + 1x8? What are the pros and cons on this kind of enclosure? (does it have a name.....MULTI CAB!!??) Purchased or created buy there own loving hands? Lets see what you got. Edited October 29, 2008 by Rusty Shackleford Quote

bigjohn Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Hmmm... I've got two 2x10s that both have 5" midrange drivers in em. (that used to belong to Alex ^!) And I've got a large Ampeg Combo that has a 15" and an 8" biamped. Edited October 29, 2008 by bigjohn Quote
Dubs Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I think these types of cabs are becoming more common - Shcroeder 21012 or 210212 for example, and some of the new Dr.Bass cabs have 3 way systems (the 2460 for example). 3 way systems for tops, mid, and bass reproduce the original sound most faithfully compared to single driver size cabs (I think that's the theory behind it anyway), but really it's all just down to what suits you or what sounds best for your situation.

cheddatom Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I have a TE 1 x 18", 1 x 10", tweeter cab. It's been broken over a year (I've just been too busy to fix it, there was a thread about it...) but it sounded amazing running with my Peavey combo. (and even better with a guitar 2 x 12" combo at the same time!!!) Quote

The Funk Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I love cabs like these: I've got a pair of Acme Low B2s and a single Acme Low B1. 10" Woofer + 5" mid-range + tweeter = yum. Quote
bass_ferret Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 EBS did one but thats discontinued. Peavey did 2; 1820 and 1516 - am sure you can work it out. Quote

alexclaber Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Ampeg made a rather good 4-way cab (true 4-way, not simply four different speakers in a box, all running fullrange) called the Extreme. 2x6.5"2x10"1x18"+tweeter. Most of the enclosure was given over to the 18" which was quasi-downfiring/horn-loaded to acoustically low-pass filter it. The 10"s were in a very small sealed-enclosure to high-pass filter them and then the 6.5"s and tweeter passively crossed over. Good design, only downside was the weight! You could run it fullrange or biamp the 18" and the other speakers separately. Most multi-speaker cabs don't use any kind of filtering so the sound is just the same as if you stacked two dissimilar cabs. Alex Quote
markytbass Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I had a cab years ago that was an 18 + 10, I found the 10" took the fart out of the sound. Quote
pete.young Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I have a EA VL110 - 1x 10", 1x5" mid-range, 1 piezo tweeter. Damn good small cab, though a bit on the heavy side. CX112 is supposed to be a much better cab, so it must be something really special. Quote
Protium Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 No, but thinking of making one after the 2x10", maybe a 12" + 6" + tweeter. Quote
coasterbass Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I've got the Schroeder 1210R which, unsurprisingly, has a 12 and a 10. It covers the spectrum well. I used to rehearse with a Boogie Powerhouse, which is a 15 with 4 x10's. That was a BEAST. Ampeg make a similar model too. Quote
