This cross pairing can add to costs without significantly getting you closer to the reggae tone. It’s generally better to stick to 1×15 or 2×15 instead of mixing and matching with 10”, 12”, and 15” combos in your stack. For instance – a 1×15″ or a 2×15 Bergantino cab with a powerful all-tube head like Ampeg SVT or Mesa and a passive bass – hopefully a P-bass with flats. Modern 15” neodymium speakers are a good option if you want to sound less vintage and more versatile. After all, it gives you the low-frequency extension and can cover the pulsating low-end groove better than all other options. If you are a reggae freak, the 15″ speaker is indubitably the right answer. However, a good quality 15″ or 2×15″ is ideal for that full, creamy, and mellow reggae bass tone. If you aren’t a reggae specialist, a 4×10 or 8×10 can get you there with some work.

Anything above 18” can sound too muddy and boomy and the 10” cabs (especially 2×10) are not as rounded/full as the genre demands. You have 10”, 12”, and 15” cabs to choose from. Not to drown out the band, but to generate big fat lows while having enough headroom to generate punch and attack.

Secondly, a good reggae bass sound has plush lows supported by a powerful low-end, and your cabinet will need some power to do this convincingly.

Additional considerations for Reggae amplification Solid low-end for reggae bass.

It’s more for processing existing bass/low end (like RBass) but it’s very flexible and gives some visual feedback for how much it’s adding to a signal. Might also be worth checking out Bass Mint. If you are into Waves, they also have Submarine which is a decent alternative to bx_subsynthīx_boom is a kick “enhancer” (I actually don’t know exactly what it’s doing, but it sounds good sometimes)

If you’re not already in the Waves ecosystem, I wouldn’t recommend jumping into it just for this one plugin. Waves RBass can add higher harmonics, but doesn’t add any low end. I think this might be what you’re looking forīx_subsynth is great for adding additional subharmonic frequencies/low end, but doesn’t add higher harmonics like MBassador. It can add or enhance subharmonic frequencies, and it can also add higher harmonics that make the sub more audible on crappy speakers. Personally I use MBassador, Bass Mint and occasionally bx_subsynth.
