Worlds coolest bass cabs???

[richrips]

These look very similar in design to my BFM Jack Cabs which sound great.

Seriously cool and a massive deal too!!

I got these! picked them up on the weekend and had a little play with them.

very, very good! well built and monsterous speakers in them. just need a bit of re-furb work to make them look as good as they sound!

Really cool. I'd have had them if i didn't already have something similar. I didn't realise there was a vintage genuine equivalent to my cabs. I think they look great with that worn scruffy vibe. Do they sound monstrously deep? Who are they made by?

Check out how similar the design is to my cabs:

You may be interested in the design aspects of your new cabs and why they (hopefully) sound awesome:

Yes, i am quite partial to that scruff look two, but had come to the descision that it would be a fun restoration project. Was actually thinking white/cream vinyl, in part because of your Jacks!

Tests were not in the best circumstances, badly shaped room and lots of loose things to rattle and buzz. Put some very bass heavy electronic music through them, hooked up to a 300w a side poweramp (they're rated at 200), even with the amp on full they showed no signs of struggle! very impressed!! They moved a LOT of air, and even in circumstances the ultra low frequencies were not too mushed, and you could feel everything from the sub to mids very nicely

Also hooked them up to my Eden for a little play and that was a lot of fun! Definitely more for the reggae bass sound than King-esque slap

Only mark on them is DKQ sprayed on the front grill cloth, a google search reveals nothing so assumed it's a band logo or something? Had the back off for a quick peek but the only thing written on the speakers was 30hz written in permenant marker, they had mighty impressive magnets on them. may well get some snaps and see if anyone can identify them.

I was up in cardiff a lot with my old funk band, but members are spread out round the country atm. should be doing barfly soon with a new metal band but haven't got a date set, if you dig that sort of thing i can let you know, but it's not everyones cup of tea i know

Not just those, Ohm made a 1x15 cab (and possibly others) that I regret having sold - a more complex flare to the horn than the BFMs though, I assume a parabolic curve. Similar dimensions to an Omni 10.
