thinkin of replacing the speakers and rewiring my peavy bass cab. its got an 18 and 2 10"s. i got my eye on the carvin 800W 18 but im unsure of what to use for the 10s.
http://carvin.com/products/single.php?ItemNumber=PSC18-8&CID=RSPK

heres the deal, i plan on wiring up that cab to run with 2 amps since the 18 takes about 800W of power. i'd like to be able to dump around 300W into the 10s with the amp i have now so i'd like to get a pair of 10s that can handle that kind of power.

lay me out some suggestions and links pls. right now i use a gallien kruger for the amp and i use heavy distortion with it.

i don't know too much about 10's, i only use 12's. but there are folks in these places that should be able to help you.

Carvin bass speakers are very shoddy and unreliable.

Check out the reviews on harmony central.

I've have nothing but problems with my carvin.

ok, thanks for mentioning that, the eminence speakers have some pretty good specs on em. im not seein any 18s on these sites. if someone can point me to non-carvin 18s that are worth a shit, that'd be appreciated

electro-voice are burly as shit.

yeah EVs are great for 15 " and 18 " speakers.

Also, you might just want to think about upgrading to a better quality Peavey 18 " speaker. Their higher end stuff sounds badass and is reliable.

ill take this into mind. one thing im lookin for in an 18 is a real low freq response, pretty much subsonic. 30hz or lower low end

ill be master of brown note

yeah, for an 18" id probably recommend a peavey black widow. maybe some slm electronics 10"s.

yeah i was going to suggest the black widow too, but i don't know how low they go. i also wasn't sure if they made an 18, but if blue says they do, it's probably so.

edit: most high power speakers, even 18's don't really get down to 30hz. maybe 35, but that's low as shit anyway.

30 hz is just inaudible rumble.

I don't see any need to ever go bigger than a 15.

thats part of what im goin for is that bowel moving rumble. i saw a couple of PA amps that have a low end of 20 hz on ebay. this is gonna be a part of a wall of speaker

best part of these besides the ridiculous power handling is the low price and the field replaceable baskets are wicked easy to change and cheaper if you blow a speaker. goes down to 25 hz.

nice!

ok, i decided its electro voice 10s up top and that 25 hz peavy on bottom
