I am very interested in seeing this finished. Better have a flat bed truck to transport it though.

I think a single 8x15 cabinet should have a 6 inch long nameplate in the middle of the grill. Written in Old English style script it should read "EAT ME". But that's just me.

Build it like the old SVT 810 that was basically 4 sealed 210s joined in one box. Separate each 215 with a 4 ohm input and drive it with 2 SVTs running at 2 ohms each! That would FEEL awesome!!

Either way post pics, vids, sound clips...oh yeah, and expect visitors with basses!

This rig sounds like a good prospect for these coffee shop gigs I've been playing lately!

Just saw this on Facebook. If this guy can have a 36x10, then I guess you can have an 8x15. Still, I'm glad I'm not in Ohio!

I would make it an Isobaric cab so it looks like only a 4x15 cab and name it Bish Slapper.

You could make a fEARful 1515151515151515/66666666/11111111
A lightweight 368 lb. cab.

When you add McSleazy's second cab, you could reverse the baffle.

You could do it like the Acoustic 408 cab to save a ton of space.

Good call on the Neos for light weight. That way, the tractor-trailer you have to purchase to transport that monstruosity will get better gas mileage!
