Speakers for 2x15 cab

bigbass94 · #1 07-10-2010, 10:45 AM

So I've got an old Traynor bass cab, 2x15 style, and the speakers just kinda stopped working. Considering that this thing is fairly old and has never been serviced, it's a blessing that they've held up for so long. So what would be a good set of speakers for it? I honestly don't know much about speakers, but I don't wanna be taken for a ride at my local guitar shop when I get them to fix it. Or better yet, if someone has a guide of how to wire two speakers to make them 4 ohms, that would be pretty cool. Thanks a million.

Just get a pair of the Eminence 3015, there kinda pricey they are 8 ohm drivers and all you need to do is connect positive to positive and negative to negative, and you'll have a 4 ohm load ... or you might try the Delta 15A, it's a little less money .....

Ah, ok. See, I guess it's because it seemed way too simple that I was afraid of messing it up, ya'know?

EV 15L's. Amazing tone and power. I found some at local car stereo/speaker store for like 60 dollars. Those are the kind that Mesa Boogie used to have in some of their enclosures a few years back. I get compliments all the time, and I strongly recommend them.

Eminence Delta 15A's will work just fine

^exactly what I was thinking the 3015 should be great for this cab~ make sure you get the regulare 3015 ('full' range) as opposed to the 3015LF(more of a subwoofer).

I have a pair of Gauss 5482 for $ 300.00................

Do a search, this identical question was posed, and answered, within the past ten days or so. What you're running for an amp is a very significant factor.

The Eminences are great, one of my favorite 15's have to be the Peavey Black Widows though. I haven't been a big fan of Celestion's bass speakers but I really like their Neo 15's.

This. I love these speakers. Great all around sound. Maybe a bit on the bright side, but I like that.
