Depending on what year...rated 400-600 watts. In real life, couple hundred watts before it starts to distort. I used to have one, pretty good sound for a single 15. Enough lows to make nice bass but decent mids and some old school treble as well.

Can't be....................

The "V" series from Carvin was before the Redlines, which were then replaced by the BR and BRX series.

The V series is likely early 90's. Entirely different speakers used now.

I had that 15 and carvin 210's and 410's from that era and of the 3, that 115 was the nicest sounding speaker of the bunch. Had I known, I would've just got two of those and left the others alone. Then, and now, it was marketed that you needed a bunch of different size speakers to sound good and I followed right along.
