a boy named sue Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I'm curious about this speaker http://www.billsbest.com/thbasscab.html I don't like lugging heavy gear and so I play through a power amp and separate cab (15" tweeters...actually a cheap PA speaker). The 15" isn't too heavy but it is really big. What do you guys think about really inefficient speaker cabs? I've got 1.2kW power amp (short term, peak to peak, bridged... really 180W rms into 8 ohms stereo) which I'd like to use in a really small set-up. What'd be the way to go? A man is not usually called upon to have an opinion of his own talents at all; he can very well go on improving them to the best of his ability without deciding on his own precise niche in the temple of Fame. -- C.S.Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy c Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I've heard nothing but good things about Len Moscowitz's speaker cabinet design. He used to be on TBL all the time and I know that at least a few other TBL'ers built the cabinet. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumpelstiltskin. Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 that seems like a pretty cool little speaker, especially since it gets 112dB at 125W. that's a lot of sound for not a lot of power. a more expensive, but equally compact (actually it's slightly smaller), solution is the bergantino HT112. 38lbs. and 300W power handling at 8 Ohms. check it out. it's part of my dream rig. robb. because i like people.

chardin Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Be aware that Len's speaker design is not very efficent. In other words, not very loud. No slam against Len, it's the laws of physics. If you're interested in light weight cabinets, check out Bag End or Flite Sound Chris Hardin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No slam against Len, it's the laws of physics. Well, I think Len was after several things: 1 - Price $225 +- 2 - F Range 35-5k 3 - Size He did succeed in putting the above in one package. The BagEnd, Flite and even Bergantino solutions do have better power handling and may even be more efficient but they do not have the Frequency range that Len's design has. Sure, I like Bagend and Bergantino myself, I just think the whole point was to meet the three design objectives, Price, Size and Range.

chardin Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I tip my hat to anyone who builds their own cabinets. I don't have the skill, money, or patience. From what I've read about bass cabinet design you can have low, loud, or small. Choose any two. Chris Hardin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One traditional spec JBL Birch ported bass bin with a single JBL D130 15 and a 4x12 Oak cube sealed Cab using Celestion Greenbacks. While they don't offer a lot of power handling they do create some toneful SPL's. - Jon ----- You have the right to remain in the groove, any solos cannot be used against you, you have the right to snap and pop, if you cannot snap and pop, two fingers can provide the funk just fine.

a boy named sue Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 sorry jeremyc. I was curious about what else Leo had to say and I thought I'd search the archives, I had read the article.
