Mickey since your setup is working just fine I'm curious, is the BW an 8ohm speaker? Is that the 1502-4 speaker?

Dick....the Neo magnet would fit a 12" "OR" 15" speaker. The basket size doesn't matter. It was my choice, but there are many other Neo speakers available like the Eminence. I haven't weighed my 400 cabinet, but without the amp section which is now in a seperate "Head" plus the Neo magnet....it's probably a little lighter than a Cube 80xl. I did have the 400 cabinet on wheels, but have taken them off
....we all strive to lighter these days
....the B/W speaker is 4ohms.

Micky thanks for all the info.
I did commit to buy a Vegas 400, and will build a box for the head, then by a neo magnet for the speaker. Then I'll still have a good amp head and speaker cab as well.
If I do a decent job on it, then I will do the same with my immovable sessions 500.

Dick....before I bought the Rolands, I had the Nashville 400 converted to a head and cabinet. I think the "all in one" 400 weighed something like 90 pounds, I may be wrong there but it was heavy with a capital "H" ...as players get older, we want to go lighter where we can
...I did have a Vegas converted the same but it was damaged beyond repair in a house fire....I also had a 500 the first ones with the slightly smaller body, and yes ..they are a Hernia job...in fact I did have a Hernia repair Lol
