Omni 112 or Jack 112 for my EV DL12X Speaker??

#1 Post by Bassick »

Got one of these EV SPeakers too cheap to pass up (I like the definition of EV's for Bass) and the next problem is of course the cab to use. This will be my main cab for 4 string bass and tweeter-less. Any advice or comments on which or neither might work best is welcome. :noob: Please be gentle???!!! LOL I am sort of leaning towards the Jack but the Omni looks like it might give better efficiency? Here is the link to the speaker specs.

The EVs very low Qts chokes off bass response, so it's not a good choice for either. It's actually a later version of the EVM12L guitar driver.

Welcome to the forum!
Ask away, since there are many here ready to help.
Most often it is best to decide on the cab, and then get the appropriate driver. :cowboy:

Doh! SHould have known there was a reason it was so cheap. Thanks for the feedback. Guess I'll regroup and start with the cab.

They will work OK in the OTop 12 or DR280, but there's also the weight issue.
