Sunn rigs of doom

[chev]

UPDATE!!!

test ride before the cab restauration:



412 cab restored from 8ohm to 4ohm:

before



after



And then...

The beast of Doom is born:

Sunn Model T at 2 ohm into Sunn 412 + Sunn 215 fully restored with Emi speakers...

[rot gut]

looks better standing up

[chev]

really, I don't know I think it looks scary huge like this haha!

I like having the cab on the rubber feet instead of the casters to get the maximum sub-frequency felt all around the room.

But it's a f...n pain to put the 412 on top by myself...! heavy lifting for a heavy tone.

But I might have to put them standing again because I also use the 1st setup shown for a 2 guitar rig...in a 2nd black metal project in the process...

[chev]

here's a iPhone sample of the beast in action!  

you will ear some Sunno))), Moss. Electric Wizard and some riff improv...and some sloppy «�  la EHG» at the end...haha

Why 2 ohms? Wouldn't you have had a lot more flexibility with 8 ohm cabinets rather than 4 ohm cabinets?
Things like adding another pair of cabs to the Model T in the future, or the ability to use the restored pair with one of your other Sunn amps you have listed would have been been nice IMO.

Yeah but it's also a space issue.

I need the best efficiency for the space I have.

I could go back using the Spectre+412 and Model T+215 for the same space used but I get a better tone for the application out of the Model T so I want the most I can get out of it.

You know that with a Model T it doesn't matter what the load is, right? You get as much "out of it" at 8 or 4 ohms as you do at 2 ohms.
Transistor amps will output more at lower loads; tube amps do not.
I’m sure the Model T is quite thunderous through that pair of cabs, but it just seems like you could get a lot more use out of them if they were 8 ohm cabs instead of 4 ohm cabs; then all of your old Sunn amps could run your newly refurbished cabs as a pair.

woaw, I didn't know that actually!?

I tought the spec 150w was there only at 2ohm!

Yeah I want to send the Sceptre head for full restoration and use it with his matching 412 cab, the Model T could go on the 215 then.
When the bassit is not there I also send the Model T line out to the Coliseum Slave+2 1x15 and the Sonaro +215...!!! massive tone but not has massive as having a fully rig bassist.

Yep, I think there is even a 16 ohm tap inside your Model T, you could use that and get every bit as much power out of that amp with a 16 ohm load as you can at 2 ohms. It doesn’t make any difference at all to the amp itself; to the amp it all looks the same. That’s the reason for the output transformer.
Kind of a handy thing to know about when you are making a big pile of amps and cabs… 

Of course, ALL of this helpful “pile - ‘o - amps” info and much more has been posted about a million times on this forum, do a search and expand your knowledge base!

yeah their is 2 4 8 16 ohm selector on the back, should have knowed that  , but I have enough amps cabs combinations available to get stuff going, but for know the rig I have right now is the best I've had to this date. If I had more space I could have 4 cabs on that Model T alone...! but I'd need extra jack plugs on the cabs to chain 2 per speaker out...

Unless you made a couple of parallel Y connectors, or one of those handy series/parallel boxes that were being posted about recently. Of course you can quickly hit a stage volume that becomes plain silly when you just keep piling stuff up...

If you want really loud, like 120+ sustained dB, hang a few of these over the audience;

haha, yeah the splitter box would be good but jam space can't take any more amps or cabs...!

I'm good with what I have now, I'm actually selling 2 Solarus/212 kit, one already sold to my drummer who plays guitar and the other one locally or a friend...only friend or local Sunn fans will get to taste Sunns... I'm keeping every Sunn pieces north of the border and close sorry! but you have enough in the US haha!

[chev]

haha no I want my cranked tube tone, Model T normal 10, bright 6, master (((6))) !!!

and thank god we finally got a doom drum haha!

But we'll put a 24" ride soon...
