I'm with everyone else so far in that for an outdoor gig with any signifiant bass that you need to generate on your own, a single 15" cab is unlikely to be enough. With PA support for FOH the audience will likely be happy, but your own stage bass level is likely to sound/feel weak...it's just teh nature of being out in the open. Double up on the cabs and I suspect you'll be much more pleased.
When you really push any cab (and outdoors it happens without even realizing it for me) you may be hearing some port noise. While there could be other things going on with the cab, your experience here sounds like what I've found when I need more speaker area to get me what I need and a single cab is being pushed too hard.
Adding that second cab is going to surprise you with the difference it makes.
