wayneyboy Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I have an ebs td650 head and a proline 4x10 which has a great sound. I am after something that doesnt break my back for small gigs. I do like the sound of a 4x10 so didnt know whether to get two neo 2x10's or something else? Did also think about a combo but just after few ideas really as dont want to spend loads on another rig really but just be good to have something i can fit in a back of a cab if i do a small gig. Ideas? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Always a fan of the 2x10 and a 15 underneath but my current plan is to run 2 1x12's I use Aguilar GS12's as I love the scoop with my amp.. it has everything.. It is light and compact...maybe too compact.. it has very nice depth and the 12" chassis isn't too lacking in range at all..or at least coupled with the easy sounding horn, altho don't run that too much, IMO. I run the amp flat and the cab scoops the right mids out..although the sound still has oddles of character, and is smooth all the way up the range. Top cab and I can't wait to run 2 cabs at a very decent sound level As a standalone cab straight out the box and plugged in...very very impressive so far...IMO.

whynot Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 When I first owned a TD650 I was using two Ashdown Mini 4x8s and sounded great. Not the lightest of small cabs but compact so reasonably easy to transport. I found using just one for club gigs was fine. Epifani 310UL, EBS Neo 2x12 plus Tech Soundsystem cabs all work well with the 650 I found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea of what these are like and if would go well with the td650? They are half the price of markbass and ebs although they are not as loud but equally as small. Would think with two they should be enough for small gigs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 If I'm correct, you were about 'replacing' your 4x10 with two 2x10's? If so, the 'replacement' won't sound you the same... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) What you really want is what is in my sig... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39253"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39253[/url] The 2x10 route is a good route to go down... As a cheaper alternative, try the Warwick 2x10 cabs - they work quite well with the TD650. Edited October 9, 2009 by EBS_freak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tischbein Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 If you want quality go with Eden 210 or Schroeder.... or even the 212 versions, and you´ll never look back on the 410s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most short wide cabs perform better when stood up vertically as well, even if the feet/badge aren't set up for that. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) I wouldn't worry about directional placement so much without FOH..you are trying to fill the room so configure the sound for that as much as anything..

dangee Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I've just bought a TD650 which I will pair with 2 EBS neo 112s. I've only plugged it into one of them so far...very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I like the 2x10 from the MB 210 combo.. so if comparable to that then that is a nice cab. 2 1x12's is a nice solution, either Aguilar GS's which are nice and punchy........ and I would think the DB's rate as well...and have that bottom end, or the EBS option sound nice. I haven't use them myself, tho, and a friend loves his Epifanis. I know plenty of people like a 2x12 so 2 1x12's seem a good carry option, IMV. Am currently loving my GS12 with a 2x10 on top... but I don't plan to gig that config.. I'll keep 10's with a 15 and the 12 with another 12, ideally. I don't want to mix and match odd cabs..

lee650 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I got very good results, from using two accugroove tri110,s( 1x10. 1x6 and 2 tweeters) with the TD650 i now use those two cabs with an HD350 and still sounds great, id imagine the EBS neo 112,s would be a great match too - all the best - lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
