Details

FS only. Mike Arnopol custom 8ohm 15/6 cab with a Faital 15FH500 woofer and a Faital M5N8-80 mid driver and passive crossover. Made from Okoume light weight ply. The cab measures 17 3/4 wide, 24 tall, 14 deep and has four ports on the back with removable plugs to help fine tune the low end. Weights approx 32 lbs. Has handles on sides and on top for easy move. Black duratex finish.

Cut sheet on the 15FH500 is here; https://www.speakerhardware.com/prodimages/ftal/fneo/15/15FH500_datasheet_8.pdf

Not looking to ship, but if I’m talked into it, all shipping and insurance is on the buyer.

PayPal accepted.

Thanks for looking!

So I borrowed this text and the pics from SnoGlow's original add as s frankly he said it better than I would have. I like this cab a lot. It has the wonderful smooth upper end of a fEarful but warmer, slightly wooly lows. The ability to tailor the low end with variable porting is no joke too!

Selling as I have way too much gear and if backline rental comes back, most of my other cabs will be easier to place. This is just a great cab.
I'll take some current pics soon, cab is in the same excellent condition it was in when I picked it up.

I bet this thing SLAYS! Sonically a cross between a Thunderchild and a Hathor?

If I get this promotion I'm angling for at work, I very well may snag this.

@Kirk Bryant we should! I used this last night at an open mic as the house rig. Powered with a GK 700 RB-II. Even the guitar players were like whoa! That sounds nice! Bass guys were pretty much over the moon.

I haven't had the chance to hear a Hathor but Passinwind has a Thunderchild AF that kills. This cab is a different thing. The 15 produces a grunt that I don't get from 12's. I find it a really appealing thing. It really reminds me more of a B15 and a fEarful had a love child.

I also have a fEarful 12/6 that I'll drop a tweeter in and add a 12/sub. The advantage for me is that will be a pretty cool bass rig but also function as a drum monitor for sound company dates. The wooly lows are not as welcome in that application. If it weren't for that, this cab would be completely satisfactory for me.

Aloha, ..Or., not nearly as tropical as it sounds!
Mal, how is this speaker in terms of hearing yourself, with it sitting on the floor, when you have to play a small room and stand right up against it? The issue that I have with single speakers, i’m used to having something closer to ear level. I need to hear myself clearly as I do a lot of singing and I’m not looking at the bass, a lot of the time. Also with my aging hearing, I need some good mid range content that cuts through, so I can sing in tune.

@Kirk Bryant If you have played through a fEarful design, it is a lot like that. The cross is somewhere in the octave from 400 to 800. The 6 in each design has much broader dispersion vertically and horizontally which is the nature of a smaller cone. It is much better close up, than a cab with say a 12 or 15 and a tweeter - just because no really useful information comes from the tweeter. Is it as good as 2 2x10's stacked on end ? Probably not but probably the next best thing...

If you feel like a cruise to the Gorge, you can demo the MAS, an Avatar SB-126 and a fEarful 12/6 cube. Three different takes on the woofer plus mid concept.

Too bad you are on the opposite side of the country from me; that is the type of cab that REALLY appeals to me!

Awesome seller and cab folks! I ended up getting a fEarful 15/6 to match my 12/6 and this MAS with the Fatial driver has a much tighter bottom end.

Have you taken any current pic's? Also, would you consider shipping to the East Coast? I am in Eastern PA, about 25 minutes north of Philadelphia.

Cab hasn't moved much since the pics were taken. I can get some mew tomorrow but they will pretty much show the same.

Figure 90 to 100 to ship to you. Thanks, Mal

What part of the Gorge are you located at? I'm in Portland and am considering making the drive to check this out.
