rikki Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 not sure if my experience is unique but I was extremely disappointed with my zoot cab and personally speaking I would look for something else lightest 4x10 you will find but my zoot 4x10 let me down on gigs, I also had concerns about the specs they quoted after checking the cab. I was desperate for something lighter due to back problems but it has to be reliable, had a refund in the end. Yesterday bought a 2nd hand Markbass 4x10HF, miles better than the zoot but slightly heavier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I tested out the zoots and mark bass cabs at the Bass Merchant. Preferred the mark bass cabs by a long way, particularly when playing loud. I was impressed with the zoots at lower volume and they are brilliantly light. Mark bass cabs also have the advantage of looking so cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminence components....[/quote] yes, an eminence px2 crossover was installed, the other concern I had was this crossover is rated at 400W, the cab was supposed to be 1200W, however power certainly wasn't the cause of the failures on my gigs more like vibration/ metal fatigue given where the wire were breaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big part of a good cab design is the specific designed crossover. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
