I own a 4x10cab and 1x15cab and have a 4U rack ontop all stacked ontop of eachother. Now whenever i play at gigs its weight on the front is more than the back, with all the speakers and just shear weight on the front. By this it can cause it to a near fall, ofcourse something no bassist would ever want to experience.

If anyone here has that problem, is there any suggestion of sumhow i can add sum kinda of weight toi, say maybe the cabs without breaking the warrenty.

They are ampeg cabs, so the castors on them arnt great at all, kinda flimsy ball bearings

Thanx

And defeat the "stack" sensation? ;)

I gotta assume that your "front-heavy" problem is driven my the amp placement - if the cabinets are front-heavy that's just poor design.

Put the amp rack on a stand besides the stack - remove the casters from the lower cabinet to improve stability...

Front heavy problem eliminated - stack preserved... :)

Put the 1-15 beside the 4-10 and put the rack on either cabinet.

Would that have a different sound from what ur hearing, as their not stacked high, u wont get it coming straight to u from shoulder height?

They are Ampeg-cab's? You should be able to take the wheels off both cab's. Then stack them and they will/should stand firmly, even with the amp-head on top.

..Or did I just misunderstand everything?? It was the wheels making them waggily? right?

:confused:

ummm, will get cool beer to chill down confused brain..
