Safe guys
Have been toying with the idea of going down the EAW route for a while now and just seeing if anyone has had any experience with these before. They'd be sat on 8x 1850s & 2/3 USBs Pros / Cons of cabs welcome and wondering how easily parts are to replace if they take any damage along the way. Cabs in question have been round the block for many years but still have life in them Cheers

Parts wise, the drivers are replaceable but apparently the internal crossovers are quite tricky to replace if anything goes. If they are the same batch as mine then you can add handles to make them easier to move (do them as per the position in the data sheet as they won't fit elsewhere) and you have to do some fiddly bits to swap out the waterproof connector they use to change it to NL8 if thats what you want. I love them and got them super cheap and they are stupidly loud, I have them bi-amped using around 200w each channel it gets too loud. So am happy to keep them for a while but would prefer to get something lighter one day. Not sure I've found many other full range cabs that sound as good to my ears though apart from 650.

We must be talking about the same cabs then as these are from Bristol too!
I've been convinced to keep my turbo floodlights in the end and get more along the way. Who knows tho may change my mind down the line |

Ive just got 8 of these aswell. Same seller. Theres loads kicking around, out of the old Wembley install. Insane boxes but yeah they need renovation, handles installing, new connections on the back and smartening up, pretty heavy too around 85kg per box.
Theres also a phasing issue between the Mid and HF which is on an internal crossover, theres a couple of ways to sort this out, either tear out the internal xover and run the box 3 way or I beleive theres some FIR files kicking about which have been designed to sort this out. One of the loudest mid tops ive heard though. Looking forward to having them ready Edited by Requiem - 25 October 2020 at 2:34pm |
