As a matter of fact, finally going to be messing with them over the next couple days. I'll be taking/posting pics as well.

Well TT ?
Mine kicks ass.. tell us!
I've just picked up a Beta12CX with the ASD and recommended x-over all fitted into a Tannoy i12 cab. not really messed with it much but I wasn't too impressed, maybe because I'm used to a 2x12 guitar cabinet, but it sounded boxy and "small". I was thinking of replacing one of my V30s in my guitar 2x12 and running it in stereo with 1 speaker cab sims off, one with them on. I know someone posted earlier that they tried this just fo rtesting, but does anyone have any ideas on ho wthis might sound?
Also, another thought, would be to fit 2 of the Beta's into my guitar 2x12 cab in place of my V30s.. any thought son how this might turn out? Anyone else running it like this?
Am i correct in thinking - that providing the cab is approx the same volume as the wedge design that Eminence have made then results should be reasonable with Beta CX ?
and how does their recommedation compare with the Xitone dimensions ?
I'm considering getting a custom 1x12 guitar cab style built and wondered if the volume matching and zero port approach would work ?
Excellent -- I'm think I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens. Considering I could build out all *four* cabs for about half the price of a single RCF...
I'll order a pair of drivers/horns/cross-overs and try one wedge and one open back. I did see the info on the Eminence site, but it's actually hard to find the 12-CX specs there.
Hmmm... I wonder if a GM50 will fit in the back of the Crates? That could be cool as they are traditional guitar cabs rather than monitors. (Ack, starting to get crazy here... Too much fun!)

I also use the Beta 12-CX, 2.5k x-over and ASD:1001 and it's great. I'm now using w/o an L-pad, if there is a high freq. edge - then drop the Axe's global EQ at 16K. Setting the output to sum L+R works better with a single cab as stereo was getting edgy in the highs.
Originally I was using a Mesa Thiele cab but now I have a XiTone Wedge and the wedge is much more balanced. The lows are really tight and detailed and I can dial in the Axe in ways I couldn't with monitors (Adam A7X) or the Emi's with the Thiele cab. The wedge is pretty small and some may prefer the XiTone traditional cab for fuller lows but I really like the low end detail I get out of the wedges.

Tommy - did you ever complete your project - would be very interested to know ...
