I have a stack of Pre- Hardtruckers ALEMBIC cabs. 4 /15's 1/18
and 2/12 singles I am about to have the JBL D-140's in 3 of the 15's reconed . 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 .

I have had some of these cabs since the mid 1970.s so some of them show some ware and tear from being transported around to gigs so I am going to refurbish the ones needing it the most. 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 .
