gpw5150 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I have 4 x 4 ohm 8” speakers at home, unused. FaitalPro 8fe-200 do I; 1, build 2 x 2x8 cabs 2, Sell them! my head says build 2 small cabs for home/messing. But, nit having a workshop or woodwork gear means I will have to outsource the designed cab build - anyone know anyone who could do this?

fleabag Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Do you really need two cabs if just home messing, as you say ? May as well build one 4 ohm 4X8 cab. Unless you dont want a 4 ohm cab, or your amp doesnt run down to 4 ohms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you dont want a 4 ohm cab, or your amp doesnt run down to 4 ohms The amp will do down to 2 ohms. I figured that i can build 2 larger 2x8’s and split them for gigging... if anyone has a pre designed/planned cab - please shout me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I thought you were just thinking of making cabs for home messing ? You never mentioned gigging in your first post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never mentioned gigging in your first post Well y’know - just tiny gigs or when i have no option but to tke our mini cooper. 4x8 is a good call though! Could i get deeper bass with a 4x8 vs 2 larger sized 2x8’s - in theory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) I dont know about deeper bass, but a four 8's cab will shift more air and also have a volume incease over a two 8's cab, but of course, you lose the versatility of 2 cabs. As for whether the Faital already has decent deep bass, i couldnt say. I can say that it depends on their design. I used to own two Markbass New York cabs that used four 6" drivers in each , and the low end on them was outrageous, so size is no guide. I guess the low end of those was due to having four of them, so maybe a bigger 2 x8 could achieve that. The TSP's of the Faitals would tell you though, and if mounted in the correct volume cab ...
