| | | | If you take a 4x15 cab by Acoustic and lay a couple flat you could get a 6x15 being allmost as compact as a 2x15 or 8x10.
Or you make a 2x15 and on the sides two 2x15 and a sheet of wood in from making it long throw. That would make the cab somewhat wider. Lik 20 cm or so... |

| | | | 9 x 15 could be done by using a V shape and a centerboard. That would house the 9 speakers. The cab would then be around 1,85 meter. |

I mean, maybe if you're trying to get that "speakers barely keeping up" sound, but otherwise you could power it with any amp that was compatible with whatever the impedance turned out to be. |

Some of it would depend on the efficiency of his choice in speakers as well.
But that aside I guess you're right. Anything you hook up to it will produce sound it's just a matter of how much.

Though with eight 15" drivers in a box that actually works for them, it wouldn't take much to get ridiculously loud. Especially if you didn't care much about clean.
An SVT or Reeves 400 watter would be pretty crushing. |

Why not build 2 4x15s and stack them. Or better yet build 4 2x15 cabs and stack them. Or better yet build a 2x15 and get pa support. | Hey, with neos it would be more like 82 pounds.

Hey, I've seen the Youtube vids of drunk guys on ladders trying to; clean their chimneys, get a cat out of a tree, re-roof the house, etc.
His absence opens up a lot of conjecture...
