I'm actually interested to hear from anyone who has used Wade's 115-BH cab. Comparisons to the Ampeg SVT15E? Anyone??

How would that work with speakers facing each other? I'm no engineer but that seems like a messy idea ...

The reason why no major manufacturers make cabs of this type anymore is that with the capabilities of modern drivers, including the CB15 used in these, there's no need. |

So from an engineering standpoint what's (is or was) the benefit of the speaker's facing each other?

The lows from the two drivers mounted in the plenum chamber contribute to total output, the mids and highs don't, so the low end is fattened up considerably. If you're using drivers that need help to deliver good lows it's one method to get them. |

He is an awesome guy to work with and I will likely be ordering a cab from him as well in the future. |

When I got it was loaded with JBL speakers, later replaced the top 15 with a coaxial speaker.
Don't exactly know why I keep it but the last time I tried to sell it the offers were so low that it stayed with me. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
