I ordered a 2x15/2x6 sealed cab to go with my V4b. Just wanted to share my excitement! I will be sure to post pictures and a review when it comes... IN EIGHT WEEKS!!! It's a long time to wait, but I'm sure it's worth it. |

Seen it a lot of times

|  | Registered User | | | | I have a SWR 2x15 that I could barely carry by myself.
Speaker blew, replaced with neos......
Amazing. Sounds great, and I can carry it myself. total bonus.
Anyone that helps me carry it up or down lots of stairs is always amazing by how light it is.

At least go with Neo 15's. Kappalite 3015LF's to be precise. |

| | Less Ebay, more Mel Bay | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Phoenix, AZ | | | In a 2x15, I wouldn't begrudge someone saving some money using Deltalites. The 3015LF is a great woofer but the Deltalite is pretty close to its performance up to 100-150w or so per woofer.

| | Less Ebay, more Mel Bay | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Phoenix, AZ | | | If it's crossed over to two midrange drivers there is no way you will tell the difference between neos and ceramics. Even if the generalizations people make about them were accurate, they all disappear above the xover frequency (800-1200hz) pretty much. Or at least are greatly attenuated.
But, if you've got roadies, that's great =)
