Im looking for a new 15" speaker for my cab and have been looking at the Eminence Legend CA or CB. Does anyone know the difference between these 2 and/or have any opinions on this speaker or others??

I don't know how elaborate you're planning on making this project, but...

It might be worth modeling both speakers in your existing box using WinISD Pro, and see which one gives a more desirable response curve. This will also help you form reasonable expectations for things like low end response and power handling.

To get any sort of "intelligent" help here, you're going to have to carefully measure the inside of your enclosure, plus measure any/all ports (inside dimensions). Only then can we even try to determine whether the Eminence Legend is a good fit.. I can with a degree of certainty try to steer ya away from the CA154. It'll be real boomy in a vented box less than 6-7 cu.ft. If I remember right the CB15 will behave pretty nicely in about a 3cu.ft. box..

The cab design curves at eminences sight look pretty good for the CA, it is a 4ohm model. The 8ohm cb15 is super friendly towards varying box sizes and tunings though. One of a very few you could just "stick in a box" and have some kind of decent outcome.
