Lozz196 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 That’s a real bargain to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Super cheap!!! But not actually very nice. Back in the day I had a go with one of these, but the gp12smx equipped 1x15" was so much more the real trace deal and only twice the price! I guess it was trace's attempt at a cheaper line of kit.

chriswareham Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I've got one of these, pulled from a skip at the local recycling centre a few years ago. It just needed the plug rewiring and has worked ever since. If you crank them up, they sound bloody great. Surprisingly heavy for such a small combo though, as I think the cabinet is very dense and thick plywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acebassmusic Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 OK....maybe daft question(s) but why the "bike park" split in the front panel? Is it a type of reflex design? What are the advantages / disadvantages etc? I tried looking on t'internet but couldn't see much that related directly. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Cheaper than a grille? Masks the harshness of the little driver? Or just somewhere to park your bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to be used mainly in subwoofers (typically for in-car and home cinema systems). If designed properly, they can work quite well. I heard someone using one of those slotted Trace combos a while back and it sounded quite decent. Edited February 11 by Dan Dare 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an idea that the bike park slot was some sort of speaker loading system, like horn loading but more primitive - @Bill Fitzmaurice would be able to answer that, he's done a lot of horn loaded designs.

MDF, can suck in black holes at a million miles as it’s so dense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
