measuring box specs of a Sunn 215s cab?

Sign in to disble this ad
Ok so I have WinISD running and my measuring tape.

I want to measure the exact specs of this particular kind of Sunn 215s cab.



It looks like a box into a box so do I use interior size of the whole box or the one around the speakers...?

For the port, do I measure the height x width of the opening in the back minus the bracing in the way.

this doesn't seems as simple as measuring my regular Sunn 115 with one round port.

thanks for any help, I couldn't find any specifically on this type of cabinet.

You can't, due to the tapered duct. Measuring the tuning frequency can only be done with an impedance sweep. It can be modeled in HornResp, but that's a whole 'nuther level compared to WinISD.

Ok, so I'm really out of luck.

So I'll go with other user's experience with this cab.

It will be used for baritone guitar tough, and a Model T 1st Gen.

Already tried my 2 Emi BigBen in it and it sounded tight and focus but I wonder if I could get more low-end with something else...like the Legend 1518? I know it's just guessing but it's my only option for that one.
