Yeah,love them man ! Peavey is the next one to get moved on,just use that for running the Mega cabs,which I fitted with a passive x-over,on the output,which I link out to run the Jbl flares.
Did have 2,but turned one on one afternoon and it spontaneously combusted.
Have you ever seen a Zoffmusic Comet before ?
It's a sweet amp,great for bass,guessing it's 1.2k,it sounds so warm.
Hopefully,the qsc will still be around come the weekend,so will be using that to run the 4 Cubo's.
This is just a little hobby of mine.
Hopefully be out and about doing some more free parties soon...And possibly Scumting else Wink

  I used to run my old rig off a pair of xr3801's on bass and a pair of ppx900's on mid and top, sounded superb. I had HD's too and still miss the punch in the chest they gave, the dual 18's I've got now are a better all round bass cab but they don't have that 'in your face' sound of a pile of HD's.

Would love another xr3801 and yes the Hd's are brutal,I'm not really supposed to be buying anything else,lol,but would love a couple more,would probably also mean,I would need a bigger van.
I have the PPx running the 2 Cubo's on bridge,have had the vc's smacking the magnets,on the  Beyma's,had that all running upstairs at home and it wasn't long before people were knocking on the door,who I didn't hear,left a note.
Shakes the house.
Recently got the berry dcx,so have that to set up yet.

This was mine from about 1996 onwards... the bass bins are repurposed big reds. Stripped the carpet off and stuck a new baffle on with dual 4in ports and a 15" jobbie. The tops WERE just straight wired piezo and 12" driver til i stuck in a crossover and now they sound a billion times better!. Dont get me wrong, she may look a bit ugly but she does kick out a good sound and have played a number of house parties with many complaits..... from people on the same street! Lol.

But sadly.... now i need the room back in my lock up so she has to go.

.... stupid sideways picture!

If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.

Room in your lock up for what Mini-mad? More speakers should be the correct answer!

My little amateur rig (additional Cubo cabs in the pipeline)

Bottom to top: Cubo18's P-Audio E18-ELF loaded (42-90hz), Bass reflex P-Audio E12-300S loaded (90-200hz), Sealed Fane Sov 8-225 (200-2.8k), P-Audio 1" D25S (2.8-20k)

Mainly used as home music system, occasionally goes out though.

Just a simple reflex, baffle rescessed 15cm, braces on the front. Nothing exciting or special, just wanted it the same footprint as the cubo's. The box wasn't calculated, it was a case of "build a couple of cabs, play around with internal volume and ports, see what sounds good" and build a final version.

lol... no... i have managed to get it to sound quite good. Padded the piezos a little and cut the 12 at 3.5k to meet them. The bins take over around 130-140ish and wen wacked up can sound quite good.
not the worlds best rig, but it does work well!
