That's what makes Speakeasy SPEAKEASY! You do it right, you do it the first time, and you actually anticipate the unusual (wonder if I had anything to do with that??!).

Ted Thompson wrote: Valid points, so I'll make some counter points.

The Bin is designed to the exact dimensions of a 122,147,142,145 speaker,
specifically for stacking. It has pop out casters to ease moving it, as
well as inset handles.

It is also "Plug and Play", with connectors suitable for a 122, 147, 9 or 11
pin so all you need to do is move the cable from the Leslie to our sub, then
connect the output cable from our sub to your Leslie.

You can control the bin volume, top of it's crossover to control overlap
between the Leslie and the bin and MOST important, a continuous phase
control for eliminating cancellations between the Leslie and Bin in the
overlapping frequencies. Not just 0 and 180 degrees but every point in
between. That's better then a Bass amp (which has no correction) or Motion
Sound (which only has 0 and 180) and provides for every possible
environmental condition you may encounter on stage.

Cheers!
