I have an AER Amp Three and this has a bigger bottom end than anything I have ever played. The F112 didn't touch that. That's an interesting observation as I find the F112's have loads of bottom end. That's why I bought your's :). One F112 replaced my EAD 212 three way cab. They are inefficient compared to other designs but I find they have plenty of low end, even when using high pass filters. I guess we all have different ideas of what we want to hear. Edited June 6, 2018 by TPJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Barefaced FR800? Same as the BB2 but with power amp included. Small preamp and away you go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawind99 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 There are some 112 "super" cabs that can sustain 600 watts comfortably and remain pretty fast unlike cabs using PA/FOH drivers that do what they are designed for but are not IMHO suited for MI/bass guitar use. Also, there are new 15s that are like D140s on steroids. They are taking 4X the power and venturing up into 12 territory while maintaining the "old school" foundation that began our love affair with them back in the day. A 25lb 115 is powerful and very portable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the “super cabs” I know of are designed to approach PA style speakers in terms of components and performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawind99 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Duke at AudioKInesis is doing some. I have a prototype that's been in testing for the last month that is taking 800 watts. The early Berg 112s still hold there own and sound wonderful albeit heavy. I agree to your observation re the design approach similar to or sharing components that are ProAudio/FOH focussed. But there are drivers available now that are voiced for bass guitar that are exceptional and offering a lot more options to designers/builiders and players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that an FR800 is more than any sane person would ever need. That's why I have 2. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like an evil robot! He could always turn the cabs sideward so that it's then a fat squat robot, but at least with no overhang...😜 15 hours ago, CameronJ said: And I thought I was bad 😂 You are. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great performance for small size and light weight. I love the S112, super light and great sounding... but if we're talking needing loud, that is not going to work well. I have a pair of them, and I still moved to a pair of 210. However... TWO of those S112 cabs will probably be a good solution. They're attractively priced compared to many other cabs, and they're so small and light that frankly, they're extremely easy to carry around anywhere.

tonyclaret Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Lots of TKS love here. Had a TKS 112, beautiful cab, smooth and sweet, ultra portable. Now have a TKS 1126, awesome sounding again. Powerful, bit more articulate than the 112, has deeper lows. I have the tweeterless version and there are plenty of highs coming from the 6".
