A great-sounding, reliable, and extremely capable rig. It's for sale because I don't need this kind of volume anymore and need the room in my basement. More pictures here: http://helmuthdesigns.smugmug.com/photos/swfpopup.mg?AlbumID=43681707&AlbumKey=NPT3bn
Head: Carvin B-1500 (https://www.carvinguitars.com/manuals/B1500.pdf). Lots of power - with the two 1x15 cabinets it can deliver 1250 watts - plenty for the outdoor festivals I've played but it'll put out 1900 watts at 2 ohms if you want to add cabinets. The "drive" knob adds a nice tube-like character. 6-band EQ. Effects loop. Direct out. Everything is fully functional. It's has always been racked in a hard 3-space rack which is included. The original box with packing material is also included. $350.
Cabinets: Two 1x15 cabs with Eminence Kappalight 3015 neodymium drivers (http://www.eminence.com/pdf/Kappalite_3015.pdf) which are some of the best 15" drivers for bass. They're full-sounding with enough mids and highs so a tweeter isn't needed for most styles. Can handle 450 watts each. I've never heard them sound stressed or had any issues with them. They are efficient, and lightweight due to the neodymium magnets. The cabinets were originally PA cabinets that I re-purposed, optimizing the ports and interior volume for the drivers and adding high-strength/light weight popular bracing front to-back, in all corners, and behind the baffle board. Speakon connectors and scoop handles. Solid, lightweight, and easy to tote. The drivers sell for about $250 each when new. I'll sell the cabinets (with drivers of course) for $200 for one, $350 for both. Together they put out more bass than a typical 8x10 cabinet and weigh about half as much. I can get the whole rig in my Toyota Corolla along with a bass or two. The modular design makes it portable. If you buy both cabinets I'll throw in a couple of speakon cables.
I've played this stack in a variety of styles and venues and it never disappoints - full, deep, with just the right amount of mids and highs to cut through but not overwhelm. I will separate. I'll ship the head but not the cabs.
