6, 8, 10, 12, 18... I guess you have 3" and 5" mid drivers too so it's not the "only" one but it's really the only one in the spectrum of musical instrument/bass cabs. Just wondering if there's a reason for that. Someone didn't want to make a 14" or a 16"? |

There are some interesting woofer sizes in the Home Audio market of 5 1/4" and 6.5" |

Three is the magic number. Yes it is, it's the magic number.

| | | | I had a Farfisa 2+2 combo amp(built for their combo organs but sounded ok for bass) that had a 15 and a half inch speaker.Didn't discover that until I tried to replace the original speaker.Had a horn too.I had two of these things.
I remember the great 7 string jazz guitarist George Van Epps used two custom made Altec Lansing fifteen & a half inch speakers. |
