Full stacks are fun!!!!

Except when it's time to move them. They're not so fun then.

But they do sound badass.

But print out a full size poster of a Rockerverb and tape it to your bassist's forehead.

Re: When your band members taunt you to buy a full stack....

I just bought a "full" stack....a Mesa Mark V:25 head with the straight and slant 112 V30 cabs. I always wanted one of the little SS Marshall stacks but this is way more fun and functional. Can't wait to gig with it. I'm sure my band mates will say it's too big....and that I still play too loud, LOL!!

Bill

Nice...

I use 2 1X12 thiele mesa cabinets, at one of the bars I play at.

If they complain, then I switch from the V25 to the Triaxis & 2:90 just to shut them up! (That gets loud)

Just buy two blown out 4x12 cabs and don't hook 'em up. Just stack them for looks.

It's still 100 watts, no matter how many speakers it's coming out of....

Re: When your band members taunt you to buy a full stack....

Why can't you put both of your cabs side by side?

That's not really how it works

more speakers = more air moving = more volume

It actually does work that way. The total volume is about the same, but it's spread out more which leads to an impression of increased volume.

Doesn't everyone need a full stack?

Re: When your band members taunt you to buy a full stack....

I would sell it all and go direct...save your ears.

100 watts is 100 watts. The sound is only spread out more with more speakers, giving the perception of increased volume. The eight speakers are also working less hard than 4 alone.

Take a garden hose and turn the pressure on full blast.
Then imagine attaching eight heads to it with pressure still at full blast.
Does more water come out?
No, the original amount is just divided up 8 ways. Spreading the water out over a wider area.

Actually that's incorrect. A 100 watt amp will give you about 110dB at 10 feet with one (100dB efficient) speaker. The same configuration with eight speakers will give you about 9 more dB which is nearly twice as loud.
