Hi there
I need a cab for my Twin Reverb head (cut off : cab smaller, no speakers :p ).
I want a BIG, DEEP, LOW sound.
Would a pair of JBL 15" speakers such as D-140 & K-140 loaded in a Bassman cab be ok ?
So a guitar head with a bass cab...
Would this combo allow to produce mid-range/high-range sounds though ?
Do you think that 2x12 is the right thing or that 2x15 allows simply more ?
Thanks in advance for your comments/help :D

The D/K/E140 won't go high enough...drops pretty quick after about 2500hz. The D/K/E130 is the monster choice for huge, full range guitar tone....that would be a Dual Showman size cabinet. I've had some customers say the D/K/E130 + D/K/E140 combo is pretty cool...*140 gives the grunt while the *130 provides the singing mids and highs. Two D/K/E120's will kill people too if you want it too....but listen to The Allman Bros....Dickey Betts and Duane Allman for some of the sweetest guitar tone ever recorded....Marshall+JBL= Sweeeeetttt

Hey edgewound
Thx for your answer !
Wondering one thing about impedance :
If I'm right, 140 are 8 ohms although 130 are 16 ohms, nope ?
And if I'm still right, instead of 4 ohm in parallel, I would get sth like... 6 ohms... wouldn't that be a problem towards the twin though ?
Sorry for my non-knowledge if I'm telling bullshit :o:

The *130 and *140 are both available in 8 or 16 ohms.
The formula for parallel wiring is:
1
_________________________________________ = X ohms
1 + 1 + ..... et. al., etc.
____ ___
x ohms x ohms
In your case, just using 8 and 16 ohms parallel = 5.3 ohms
It's not a good practice to use different impedance drivers wired for full range...ohms law says electrons follow the path of least resistance.
The lower impedance driver will probably fry first.
