I've recently decided it is time to upgrade all of my cabs. A custom cab builder is almost done building a 2x12 guitar cab for me. I am going to ask him to build a couple of bass cabs for me next. He is a very busy guy, so I want to give him some time to relax before unloading this request on him. I also want to make sure I have all of my ducks in a row so I do not waste any of his time trying to decide what I want.
I recently posted a thread seeking a neo mag 18" speaker for a 1x18. Found one that should work. So, here are the plans/questions I am going to be running by the cab builder:
Bass cabs order:
2 cabs, each cab = 8 ohms
I use a Gallien-Krueger 1001RB-II (700 watts RMS at 4 ohms)
Use this tolex for both cabs.
FIRST CAB:
Ported and tuned 2x15
Should I add a biampable horn via Speakon cable or some kind of smaller tweeter type speakers?
Use these 15” speakers if we can find a brand new pair, I have a used pair here if necessary, but I would like to start with a new pair if possible.
If we can’t find a new pair, these speakers from Eminence should do.
Any thoughts/suggestions on these speaker selections? I really love Eminence speakers in my gear and I love neo mag speakers in bass cabs...
SECOND CAB:
Ported and tuned 1x18
Use this speaker if it will work.
Even if I have to upgrade to a used GK 2001RB or a new GK Fusion 1200W head, I want to get a 1x18 in my rig. Do you think my 1001RB will be enough to at least make it work for now?
