thanks DP, could you tell me which 12" model, they have so many?
I'm considering 2 12"s to get to 4 ohms to get the most out of the
bassman 100. Either that 1 15, have it at double ohmage. but the 2 12
seems at thispoint the better option because of matching ohmage (cant
find a 4 ohm 15) better spread, and punchier sound. I personally like
the bass to be not too low - because i want it to be audible yet not
too loud..
