I know of someone using the fane handbook 2x12 hornloaded long throw design for his synth... apparently with good results...???

Probably like a bishop bashing his organ... type of sound I was thinking.

Originally posted by Dougies Music All mono amps in my opinion sound SHIT -

1 or 2 15's 10" and a 1" would be my recomendation, specifically if budget will allow...
 
BMS 15n850v2
Beyma 10MI100
BMS 4552nd

the above seem like they would be quite a nice combination

speak to Tony Wilkes about BMS as he is the UK distributor the prices as i remember it are rather good and the quality of the components is exceptional as is beyma which you can get from bluearan.co.uk having much more than that and it becomes rather impractical.

as to the amps peavy have just brought out a new lightweight budget line which is cheap and looks quite good on a scope for the mid and top and a second hand berry ep2500 can be had for bugger all for the 15's.

if your syth device such as keboard or w.e has a standard jack out put that normaly goes through a p.a then you could just go into a di box and then out in to a p.a or in your case (posibly go into a bass amp or into a standard power amp and set the level via pads on the di box and use say a 15" full range speaker as a bass cab) what do you think guys on here would it work if there's no preamp from a desk etc.. or you could use a small rack mount mixer to ensure that you can always set a level so you dont clip your amp.

So would go from synth/bass into DI-box then into small mixer into amp into fulrange speaker (sounds complicated but could be wired in to a 4unit rack so you would just plug in turn on connect synth and jobs a gooden..

Hope that helps.(would probs be better to get a p.a but its one way of getting round it)

So I'm assuming your synth bass comes from a keyboard player, so what's you're after is a big full-range keyboard amp?

While the design needs updating, you're probably looking at something along the lines of the DM2 on Plans section of the site.  Do you want to make it all in one box?

Amplification-wise you could probably get away with a Behringer Super-X crossover and an EP4000 (or a suitable second hand amp, which we might be able to help with!)  Run the two 15's on one side of the amp and whatever midrange and high frequency components on the other side.
