Doing this will short the circuit and prevent the drivers in the old cab from moving/resonating in sympathy with the notes that the Simplexx cabs are putting out.
Ahh, yes. I was not very clear on my original post and went back in to correct/clarify. The "cabinet" that the speakers are sitting on is actually an old road case - not a "cabinet" that would house speakers.
As it stands, one of the speakers in the Simplexx cabinets was bad and while playing it made a sharp POPPING noise at the beginning of each note. It also did not sound as clear as the other speaker. I switched it out with one of the other BP102's I had and problem solved. I had four BP102 speakers from a prior Hartke re-speaker project that I wanted to reuse which is why I chose the Simplexx project. Now I am looking at the possibility of building another set of Simplexx 110's as I am not entirely confident they can keep up with the band. In one of my project's I play with two hard rock guitarists and a drummer. We have the drummer behind a carpet half wall but the volumes are still rather insane. The guitarists have turned down as much as possible and we all wear ear plugs. Eventually it will all settle in.
