Tham 12 does NOT disappoint for reggae

see THIS page of my thread. Tham 12's are the BEST 12" box i have ever heard and owned. Period. If you are ever local to leicester i would be happy to demo

Now THAT, specifically https://forum.speakerplans.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=92433&PID=1001705&title=the-beginning-of-bliss-soundsystem#1001705 is whatI'm after.

It's the sort of crowd that is my bread and butter, and most are younger than me as well

Skimming that thread I can see that SW CNC made the cabs for you, and that you have Oberton 700s in them; so SW should be my next port of call and Obertons shou;d be on my list. I can't believe that just last year I sold 4 PD123ER in my EV SX200 cabs - I think thatthey may have been a solution as well.

I'm in Bristol so Leicester not reasonably feasible until I get up to Brum to see my daughter.

It's a difficult choice, would you rather have:

A: A vegan son.
B: An OnlyFans daughter

Q12? Double q12 with neos?

I don't know those cabs, and only a single 12 would be of interest.

Single q15

Nope, not interested in 15's

Tham 12... i still love the idea of cookies set up. Wish i could go hear it in anger !

You and me both, but I'm 80 miles away and most likely working on the same nights as CookieDJ.

Does it have to be strivtly single 12"? Pfly has a 2x12" ppsl concept for bms drivers.

I've heard some bms loaded compact 15" reflex bins designed by pfly many times. Serious little subs that move a lot of air in a block of four. And they go low.

This is the thing. I don't want to move a lot of air, and I already have 15's anyways.

A lot of the time I don't have masses of space in which to set up, and I put up a lot of lights as well when needed.

Single 15" are easier to find good drivers for and don't necessarily need to be much bigger. I've got a pair loaded with Beyma 15G400's which if I really wanted to I could probably lift above my head. Not much more than 500mm cubes and produce a surprising amount of noise for the size.

Look up the old B&C Sub15 plan...

I already have 15's, I mentioned them in the start of the thread.

And weight is very important to me since 4 my spina; vertebrae are compressing into each other and I have a permanent epidural in my back to keep the pain at bay.

I've been doing this for well over 50 years and large boxes have taken their toll.

This intrigued me so I’ve just done a very quick and drity frequency analysis using Audcity on some old classic reggae tracks, quite a few of them drop like a stone below 50Hz, however they tend to have a massive hump between about 50 and 110Hz. On several tracks that always appear to have a lot of low frequency content have actually got a fairly flat frequency trace from 60 to about 95 to 110hz, however they drop by about -6db at 50Hz, down 16db at 40hz and at 30Hz down 23db with respect to 60 to 95Hz band. They also tend to drop by 15 to 20db above about 300hz.

The Bob Marley’s Jammin (as played by cookie-dj in the video in the other thread) and Ken Boothe’s Everything I own both fit this trend quite well, however Jammin doesn’t drop off above 300hz as much as some ( its only about 12db down when compared to the 60 to 90Hz range) and consequently doesn’t appear to go as low as the Ken Boothe track.

Thanx for that APW. One of my favourite lovers' trax is Winston Reedy's 'She's the One' and on my present system you can just hear the bottom line disappear occasionally.

BJtheDJ, I also own 4 tham 12's, if your main work is similar to what is in Cookie's video you will be blown away by them!!

Below I've linked to a thread that has the kind of venue I have played at using a pair of tham12s, the thread also has a picture of my small rig.
