lilkuku Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 When I'm in front of my closed back 2x10 it's perfect, but off to one side or the other there is a dramatic loss of treble and it's very muffled (which when a mic is used it's not an issue). I'm just curious if it could be as simple as making the cab an open-back, or if anyone has another suggestion. I assume that's just the nature of speakers and cabs in general. Obviously while standing directly in front of the cab you get all of the sound, but if there is a way to get some more treble off to the sides, I'd appreciate the help.

DetroitBlues Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I believe its the nature of the speaker. I've also noticed the same thing, plus when your a certain distance away from the speaker, it seems louder too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilkuku Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 That's kind of what I thought. I'll double up on the cabs if ever I play out to an audience bigger than 10 people again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilkuku Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 10th Mountain Divison? I was in the 101st.... Well, what's up my infantry brother! I was in from 87'-90 than recalled in 91' for Desert Storm (went back to Ft. Drum). I live a couple of hours from Ft Campbell. I like the cold though, so I went North.

bolero Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 some guy came up with a foam donut idea you stick on the front of the cab, to disperse the sound....that way it sounds more consistent in front & to the sides can't find the link though, I think it was on TGP you can make them yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguitar71 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Open the back up and the sound will much easier to hear. There will still be a loss of tone or the muffle you noticed before but mush less dramatic. I cannot her anything with a closed back unless I am right in front of the thing then I go def from too much sound so I only go through open backs now plus I like the tone much more too. I do find an open back 4x10 is easier to hear than an open back 2x12, not sure why but that is what I have noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
