Any spl rating? Speaker sensitivity? Frequency range?

People want a reasonably priced Model T reissue. Just do that.

Most powerful 😂😂😂 nahhhh. Bought an old sunn215s for 50$. And am throwing eminence delta 4ohm 600 watts in it. 600+600. 1200 continuous. I’m building the doom box killer under 400$. 2300$ is insane

No one needs anything...

Had the guitar in his hand the whole time and never played one dang note.

How can you make a video about a speaker cabinet, show that there's an amp plugged into it that is receiving power, have a guy in a chair with a guitar in his lap that's plugged into that amp, and NOT PLAY A SINGLE NOTE? You're trying to sell people a cab which you've mentioned is more expensive than most cabs on the market (and which also doesn't even appear on the website linked in the description) and you just want us all to take your word for it? Happy about the Beta Lead though, maybe I'll get one of those and a Mesa cab.

Does it chug

when are you guys going to start making amps?

That’s wild an amp company doesn’t understand why people would like to overpower speakers. It’s the model T re-issues all over again. This thing sucks and it’s expensive.

1000w where's all the heat going!?! Asbestos cabs? Who needs 1k watts ffs!?!

Sounds amazing! Oh......wait.....

I have a Beta Bass combo I really need to get up and running. The distortion channel on it is amazing! It's been in my family since the 70's 😊

i love the crackle/breakup this thing has. doesn't sound like my old beta but i think that's just a matter of pickup/eq/cab choice

Wow... Looks sick.

Kind of creating a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist. I can’t see these doing all that well. What we want is affordable beta leads, model t reissues, model t tube preamps, possibly a compact 2x12 with up to 200w power handling would be fine and more reasonable in todays gigging climate

Loved my Sunn Coliseum 300 bass rigs with the slave power amps.... would love to have a 500 w version of the coliseum head myself.

What kind of fantasy story is this? They went out and saw a lot of bass players use 4x12 cabs with 30 watt speakers? It’s cheaper to buy 3 semi pro 1x15” cabs than a 4x12 with 30 watt Celestions. It’s cool that they made a 1000 watt 4x12, but the straw man nonsense is uninteresting

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa..... I just started the video but are you guys making or have made any new sunn beta leads?

Only a very small amount of commercially available 4x12's have "30 Watt speakers" in them, and none of the bands mentioned are likely using those speakers in their cabs. Bit of a straw man argument there...

The most expensive amplifier in the world.

so, 250W Swamp Thangs..... nice

Rated for 1000W and weighs 1000lbs.

No one needs 1000 watts……

I'm no longer in the live sound business (too old and broke down), but I spent a few years running sound for bands, and more recording them in the studio. Now I service vintage audio gear. Based on that, let me make some observations. (1) This cab has a 1/4 inch jack for its input. These jacks were never meant to handle more than 2 or 3 amps of current, so that's a problem. 1KW at 8 ohms is 11 amps. (2) There's no need for a thousand-watt guitar amp, as noted by other commenters. (3) A direct-radiator loudspeaker can be no more than about 10-15% efficient. That means that if you're running 1KW into the speaker, 850-900 watts is being dissipated as heat. Where's that heat going? Oh, yeah, it's trapped inside that sealed wooden box, heating up metal parts bolted to the wooden box. Does it come with a fire extinguisher? (4) All loudspeakers suffer from thermal compression. As you push more power into them, the voice coils get hotter, and as this happens, the resistance (and therefore the impedance) of the coils rises, and so the amp delivers less power into the speaker, reducing its output. For even the best drivers, this begins to become noticeable once the average power over time hits about 50 watts per driver. So what good is having 250 watt drivers? (5) For direct radiators, the way to produce more acoustic power is not to pump incredible amounts of power into fewer drivers, but rather to use more drivers to handle the same amount of power. That's why bands that want (for whatever reason) a loud backline just use more speaker cabinets. The efficiency of the speaker array rises as you add cones, and by dividing the power amongst all those cones, you avoid issue 4, listed above. (6) I wonder if Sunn has overcome their historical tendency to build amps out of whatever parts came to hand on a given production day, rather than building all samples of a given model exactly the same way? I remember having three of the same Sunn amp apart on the bench at once, and looking at three completely different BOM's inside.

these guys don't know what they are talking about. definitely not sold. most bands are using an ir to the sound system anyway.

what stoner rocker has 2400$ to spend just on a cabinet

How efficient are the speakers in dB? How efficient is the cabinet as a whole dB wise? Sound quality and efficiency matters. Thank you.

My Sunn 215SPL bass cab puts out 800 watts at 4ohms stock. Mr Baker was way ahead of his time at Sunn. I'm sure this cab kicks ass too.

Oh great. I can now pay $2,499 for a can that'll take my 1000w amp.

If this was for bass, it’d be super cool because bassists might actually use 1000w amps, but for guitar it’s a little silly. I still want it though

Are you fkn kudding me? You just refuse to give us what we want.

Sp we can’t hear it. Come on guys. No talk. Let hear.

What do the speakers sound like. V30, green, cream back ECT

Love Sunn but this will only appeal to those who don’t actually play live. It was all hype and no sound. The important questions:how does it sound? How much does it cost? How much does it weigh? I know that I would love this cab except for the above 3 questions.

The cabinet construction is awesome. Especially using tooling from the 1930's. I curious about the frequency response?

Zakk Wylde has a signature speaker with EV that he runs in his cabinets. They have the Black Label Society logo on them. I've been wanting them for years, but it was the cost. I did manage to get the Eminence DV-77 Mick Thompson speaker that's I higher rating as I prefer the higher wattage speaker as well. Just sounds better to me, and not to mention the "thump" is awesome lol. I put my Eminence DV-77 speaker in a Marshall JCM800 4010 combo that I hated the speaker in and the DV-77 was amazing, made me love the amp, it's only a 50 watt , but works so well in it. I'd love to try this cab in the video!

Would be a good cab for venues that don’t mic your equipment. Year by year, I’ve noticed alot of sound guys wanting to turn down guitars/bass more.

2400 lmao. good luck

Honestly I don't see much of a need for this product. The days of arena touring bands having huge stacks of cabinets behind them for massive volume are long gone, for good reason. That is pretty much the least optimal setup you could have for getting the sound out to the audience. We also now know that the way the cabinet is mic'ed up (microphone model, position and orientation) is among the largest contributors to the recorded sound, so any of the popular bands that would have wanted a doombox 40, 50 years ago are nowadays just looking for a good PA system that can faithfully reproduce the sound of their existing cab mic'ed up or their software modeller. We're past the days of massive stage volume (thank god). The people that are looking for loud cabs have already found cabs that suit their needs and also don't need cabs this loud. All a loud cab does on stage is act as an enemy to good sound. Louder is not automatically better and especially on stage, more volume just means more feedback and more bleed. I don't see there being anybody out there willing to spend so much money on a cabinet whose only selling point is being louder than the already plenty loud cabinets existing on the market.

Please excuse, but Isn't this totally against any trend? Also i don't understand the talking about volume and power handling, when sound quality should be the main topic. Also we did not get a sound sample

All they had to do to be succesful was 1.) Reissue the Model T at a decent price point and 2.) make affordable Beta Leads. That's literally all people wanted, but ooooh no instead they just had to go and make goofy shit like this and the $3200 amps that nobody asked for

All great having a 1000 watt cab until the moment you get on a stage and a sound engineer is mic'ing up one speaker on your 4x12 telling you to turn yourself way down and you're using less than 20 watts of power out of a traditional 100 watt head.

I run a custom oversized cab. 1x12/1x15 Kappalite 3015 and 3012HO. Yeah, it misses out a bit on the high frequencies (the 15 only goes up to 4khz) but for low tuned doomy riffage and 8-string grooving, it's unbelievable. It's also a 2-speaker system and both speakers handle over 400 watts.

so wow it's a bass cabinet

The R&D team is stuck in 1976. What a dumb video. What a dumb product. The "inhibition" of guitar speakers gives the final touch of character to your output before it gets taken away by the mic and PA. 1000-watt full stacks exist. No one uses them anymore. This is literally just some stoner that keeps saying his cab is 1000 watts.

311 and limp bizkit using a beta lead is a wild thought but would be dope to hear

A custom Emperor 4x12 cabinet loaded with Eminence 2 Swamp Thangs and 2 Texas Heats would be around $800 cheaper.

A) more speakers, more air movement, more loud. Running a pair of 412s with greenbacks is 200w and plenty loud B) the bands you mentioned play venues where they mic their cabs into the house system.

Confused which 30W speakers are supposed to be in these standard 4x12s everyone is using. A greenback is 25W and the vintage 30 is 60W power handling...

i wish you guys would do a video on your frfr speakers because they came out of nowhere and you have limited info on them and you don’t answer questions about them and there are no videos of any sort. it’s like you rebranded some frfrs and if that’s the case then at least say so if you want to sell any of them
