4x6" bass cabinet

[invacuo]

Hi, I am planning to do a new cabinet for my bass guitar.

I am thinking in 2 options.
First one is use 4 Beyma 10CMV2 drivers the volumen of the cabinet should be 200 liters to go down to 47Hz
Second one is use 4 Beyma 6MNFW drivers the volumen of the cabinet is just 50 liters to go down to 38Hz

I will use Beyma because is what I can get here.

The 4x10" will go up to 129dB, the 4x6" up to 120dB.

Normally is for small/medium size stages.

4x6" is smaller but more expensive the 4x10" is bigger but cheaper.

4x6" 1000€ 50 liters.
4x10" 200€ 200 liters.

Im not an expert so any advice will be appreciated.
I did the simulation with WinIsd software.

Thanks for you help.

At the prices you quoted the 4x10" seems the better choice by far.

You are quoting pretty low enclosure tunings. Are you tuning maximally flat? Most commercial bass speaker cabs tune for F3 of roughly 50Hz, not maximally flat.

Hi, thanks for your help.

Both are -3dB response.
4x10" 47Hz
4x6" 38Hz

I would only consider the 4x6" due to the small size, but the price is quite high and I don't know if the 120dB is enough.
I know the 4x10" is definitely an error free option.

Why 4 drivers 10CMV2 ? With 2 in parallel you need only 100 liters and only 500W/4ohm for 126dB/1m (enough for small/medium gigs). That is 6 dB more than the 4x6MNFW drivers are capable of. No contest here.

Your are right 2x10 is enough and 100liters is not hard to handle.
Thanks for your help.
