Mark from BNA just built me an awesome FEARLESS F215slim cab. It is by far the best cab I have owned to date. I have owned Epifani, Bergantino and Eden cabs to name a few.
Thank you mark for the finest customer service one can ask for....he was on tour and delivered it when his band was in New York!!!! WOW!!!!

Hey Craig! Great meeting, you (briefly!), and I'm so happy you are enjoying your cab. I'm so sold on greenboy's designs, it makes them very easy to promote. Personally, I've never been happier than I am with these cabs

Hello,

As these are posted DIY projects I don't think this is proprietary information. I've looked and looked but it doesn't seem as if they have been posted. Has anyone worked the internal volume and port tuning numbers out? I'd like to be able to model them in winISD.

Thanks.

Plans!

You can calculate all the internal volume and port size from these.

Just build a 12/6/1 and find someone with a 15/6/1 to swap with......

lotusland9663 · #**646** 02-25-2013, 02:21 PM

Hello Fellow fEARful owners,
I just purchased a 12/6 12 sub from a fellow TBer - lovin' them so far.

The cabs don't have any badges. Are they available? Easy to install? Problems with rattling/buzzing? Not a necessary addition but kinda cool - and I'd like to "show the flag" for this great product.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have them. http://www.speakerhardware.com/fearful-cab-badge.php

hi fellow fearfullers, not posted here for some time, ive gone back to skinny strings, my fearful 15subs still being put to good use tho, PA duty, they have impressed fellow band members so much so that they are gonna get another 2 15subs built soon

i think its worth mentioning that my bands PA used to consist of a pair of Martin Audio blackline 18 subs, these are loaded with 750 watt 18" drivers and are considered as pretty damn good PA subwoofers... but very heavy and awkward for a mobile rig, the fearful 15 subs have been performing just as well IMO, in some ways better, and or course they are a bit easier to carry

Hey RB, my band is needing subs. Guitar is thinking powered RCF$, I'm thinking two fearful 15subs. What's the weight for one of those? What is your crossover point? I think I'd do it sans crossover - save a couple bucks and a pound or two. A 15sub flatpack cost seems very reasonable.

::::BASSIST:::: · #**650** 02-25-2013, 07:35 PM

The 15subs are around 48-60LBS. Could be lighter than that if lighter wood is used.

I'm betting you could get Baltic Birch a 15sub in the low 50lb range...For a stackable setup, I'd personally stick with BB...certainly not the lightest wood, but pretty darn light and VERY durable for that application...sayin'

That is one of the reasons I built a 15/sub. Most times my 12/6 will do me fine and my band can use the 15/sub for PA. I've never compared but I KNOW it will crush the Mackie powered sub we have used in the past.

And when I need to really crank some bass volume 12/6 on top of the 15/sub will do just fine........

Of all the fEARful combos I've ever toured...the 12/6/1 on top of a 15sub was my favorite. Thinking seriously about trying my FEARLESS F112 on a 15sub or maybe even a 12sub for live

Cheers to the mighty 1515/66 cab. I used it with a Tone Hammer 500 very recently for a show. This cab is an engineering wonder for bass guitar. I did not want for any more clean, warm, fat and round tones. This cab can make any tone. It was the very first time I used a compact bass head with this cab - wow they pair up very well. This cab was just right for our 4 hour Reggae show.

I use a TH pedal and a PF-500. Killer combo with my '66.

dukeorock · #**656** 02-26-2013, 01:25 PM

I've never a/b'd the TH pedal against the actual amp, but I have plugged the TH pre/DI straight into a poweramp and it's legit

::::BASSIST:::: · #**657** 02-26-2013, 04:54 PM

Yep, I often use the TH pedal with a QSC2402 and I like it alot.

lotusland9663 · #**658** 02-27-2013, 11:33 AM

Would a 15/6/1 plus a 12 sub work or is it a bad combo?

It would work "ok", but the price of the 3015LF is less than the 3012LF. Might as well go whole hog and build a 15sub.

They're tuned to work together...some folks like that combo because the 12sub adds some nice warmth without being 'too subby.' The 15sub can get comically subby

Both cabs would be 8ohms, but the 12sub can't take as much SPL as the 15/6/1...you'd want to be careful there.

All that to say, it does work
