Re: bass speaker question 115 v 212

reverbrob - 25 Feb 2005 15:16:58

I'd definitely consider a 2x12 bass cab over a single 15. Back
before I had a "real" bass rig I had to throw something together
cheap to play a big outdoor church festival gig. Wound up using the
speaker parameters to design a sealed box around two Carvin PS-12B's,
which I believe are made by Eminence. Amazingly good results. With
an ancient solid state Kustom head it had plenty of guts for a big
outdoor show. Nice big sound. And it survived several years where
the bass player for the big-name headliner tried his best to blow it
up with the amp on "ten". Still works fine today. So, I can vouch
for those Carvins.
If you're interested, I can give you the dimensions that worked for
the Carvins--- you just have to get somewhat close to the same volume
in cubic feet.
