Well, I had an outside wedding reception to play and a sore back, not a good combination when trying to load out big Kustom gear. Thought I would let ya'll know that a bunch of small ones do the trick as well. I used the 2 1501L cabs for mains, guitars, vocals and drums and 2 1201P for vocal mains only. The sound was fantastic as usual. It worked out great and so much easier on my back. Bass used a K100-1 single altec 421A combo version, steel used a K150C-8 4X10 version, rhythm used a K100C-8 with 2X10's and lead used a Challenger. All amps lined into the board and mixed well. My other half said the we sounded great and she allways gives us the blunt truth. She usually says ya'll sound good, but man, does it have to be that loud? I usually answer "Hey, its Kustom, what can I say" and this time she said "Thats the first time it was pleasant to listen to". We may have got a hold on the volume issue here as well as save the back thing. Steve C SCR "Southern Crossroad Band"

Very nice Steve! I have 2 K-50's or 2 Challengers that can run guitars through and a K-150-6 with a JBL D-140 that can be used for bass. I have two siren cabs for mains and 2 single 15 subs. I can use two 2 x 12 with 3 x 8 columns for side blow monitors....it is great...all on wheels or light enough to carry in one hand. If I go to jam with someone, I carry my Challenger or K-50 in one hand and my guitar in the other with my pedal board under my arm...one trip, quick and nasty 5 minute set-up.....and no back pain!
I like the K50-2 and its my first choice in all out sound quality. I have to install a line out on it so I can run it strait into the board. I like your easy carry in set up, thats my thinking also when I go to a jam, ya shouldn't have to bring more than you can carry in one trip. Now I just need to bring along my reel to reel and tape the whole show off the boards record out. That would be kool to post sound and pictures. Guess I got work on that one next.
