I guess there are alot of wiring variables still, but if I wanna make a single 4ohm 4x15 w/ Carvin Neo 600watt 15's. Is there a "average" for what kind of wattage the whole cab would be? I was just figured if there was a "guesstimation", I could see what kind of heads to look into.

Usually, what cab manufacturers do is add up the wattage of all the speakers and advertize it as that...in your case, 2400 watts. But that is most likely NOT a real world number, there's more to it than that. A speaker is limited more by its mechanical motion (excursion) than its coil rating.

Cool, thanks. Yeah, I figured that if I wired it certain ways, the wattage/power draw would differ.

With only 3mm xmax the Carvin neo 15s are displacement limited to about 100 watts each. A single Eminence 3015 will put out as much as two of the Carvins.

So, you're saying I should maybe go with the Eminence for more thunder? I don't see'em listed on their website, is there another place I could purchase them?

Look under the Pro Audio Neodymium speakers on the Eminence website.
