I only ask because I have ZERO knowledge/experience with fEARful...and to be honest....it's kind of like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster,....some mythical thing I've never actually seen but heard A LOT about. And I don't mean that as a wise ass, I'm ready to give one a whirl, just doing my due dilligence. Thanks guys!! |

It will be able to draw a 4 ohm load and will be easier to hear on tight stages since its taller. Also, as a general rule 2 driver cabs just have a bit "more" than a single driver cab... all things being equal.
That said, the 15/6 is an amazing cab and if you've got the wattage it will go plenty loud for the vast majority of bassists. IMO/IME.

The semi-parametric EQ in Genz amps should be able to tame the upper-mid spike that a few people don't like about the mid driver used in the 15/x and dual 12boxes. |

I am so tempted to do a pair of 15/6/1 cabs. I have one and love it, but it is kept in Hawaii, and I am in Texas a lot for a while.
Has anyone tried two 15/6/1 cabs together? Taming the mids is an issue that does not scare me, LOL!

I also use a '66, no worries at all for me with all the mids. Most articulate cab I have ever played.

Astonishingly clear, loud and lightweight. The mids are certainly very present up and down the spectrum and I'm using a parametric EQ to dial them back somewhat in the range of about 2000K, with a bump at about 500Hz and a few other tweaks as needed. And lots of versatility in being able to stack vertically, horizontally or leave one at home and the other at the studio for rehearsal.
A pair of 15/6s will cover just about any gig I could imagine, arena stages included.

I have a pair of 18 Sound mids, the 6NM410, that I bought last month from forum members. If anyone is planing on a build, here's a chance to save some bucks. Give me a holler, $100 each.

I'm a believer.
Anyone in the DC area, PM me if you want to check it out.  |

Who built it? What wood?
The lighter of my two 12/6s, built with Arauco, weighs a pound or two more than that. And that's with round grills, not the full face metal one like on yours.
That looks like the 18Sound mid...do you plan to add a second cab? |

It's Okoume plywood, the grill is aluminum, and the side handles are routed into the wood, that's where the weight savings come from. It is the 18sound mid; I wanted to have the option to add a 12 sub later if I need more volume. Got the switchable pad too. |
