The 18 has a GAUSS in good shape and the 2/12 singles have GAUSS drivers in good shape. The 2/ 12's singles with GAUSS drivers live hooked up permanently as sub woofers in my BI-AMPED playback system.The 18 inch GAUSS in the ALEMBIC CAB is a TOTAL BEAST weight and sound wise ! it can move enough air to part your hair if you stand in front of it . jfiles Junior Username: jfiles Post Number: 12 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Saturday, July 11, 2009 - 9:27 am:    Hey sonicus - can we please, please see some pics? sonicus Intermediate Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 176 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Saturday, July 11, 2009 - 9:57 am:    Yes, I will post as soon as I get some cleaning up done in the studio.

There were 2 15 's that I have had the longest that I will sand down and patch a bit with wood bondo and then stain and oil finish. In the end I hope to be able to set up a "BEAST SYSTEM" with; 1 /18 , 2/15's in Alembic cabs and 4 /10 EV/MESA cab powered by my 2 Yamaha p-2200 power amps fed from an ALEMBIC F2B and SF-2 & 2 Furman PQ3's with a Symetrix 525 compressor limiter and perhaps either my DBX 223 active cross over or the Crown VFX2A. Still only approximately 1,000 Watts RMS but they are clean cool unstrained Watts. I don't have my F2B or SF-2 yet but Mica told me that the F2B's will be available soon . I have all the other stuff from other rigs that I have used in the past. It will be fun to experience this rig when all set up . YES _ I am a gear head GEEK ! LOL_LOL_LOL_LOL__ I am making up for having kept it simple for a while. I can RAGE on this rig !!! Just an OLD guy having fun __________again . (Message edited by sonicus on July 11, 2009)
