Promethean P3115 sealed or ported?
- Thread starter 5port
- Start date
I received the Promethean P3115 today and after removing it from the box I can see its sealed. Hmmm I normally dont like sealed cabinets so i was a little leary. After a few hours of playing with it...wow it easily gets my tone and is quite strong and punchy. Like always you have to hear it in the mix but so far I am really liking this amp. It favors old school bottom over new school hifi and has a ton of headroom. The "Phat" control really brings in that solid and chunky low end I like. Rehersal tomorrow so we'll see what the mix brings...so far happy.
Because I cant leave anything alone....
P3115 with: Interior walls lined
Eminence 3015 Neo installed
3" port tuned to 48hz
Love the sound of this speaker in this combo. Very transparent, lets each bass speak its voice. Excellent mod.

The above company now has my measurements for the P3115 and it fits quite well for you owners looking for a cover. The red piping was extra:

Sorry, I cant get pics at moment. Are you saying it came with an Eminence 3015 standard, or you put one in?
You mention "excellent mod" & I dunno what that mod is

Hi Rodl2005
The Promethean P3115 came as a sealed cabinet with a 4 ohm light duty (small magnet) speaker. The sound was just "OK" in stock config for me. I removed the stock speaker, tweeter (I never used the tweeter) and installed an Eminence 3015 Neo. In the tweeter opening I installed a 3" port tube that is 2 inches long. This upgrade greatly increased the output and tone.

Super super! This is so cool. I would have taken out the tweeter and put in a port too. If I thought of it lol. Where did you get the port and tweeter?
What did you do with the tweeter wire and switch?
Thanks!

Before installing a port I would consider changing the stock speaker to a speaker that is designed to work in a ported cabinet. The stock speaker will probably fart-out with a port installed. An Eminence legend CA15-4 will work fine: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Not sure about yours but, I just picked one up yesterday and it's ported. Mine is ported in the back were the AC cord is stored. If you look there is 3 little port holes inside of that cut out. Check yours, I don't think there is a version II yet.
They are definitely port holes, not vent holes. If you look thru them you can see the magnet on the back of the 15". I'll try to take a PIC later.
Just looked through mine and saw the back wall of the cabinet. Even if they were port holes they are way too small to tune the cabinet for bass. Also rereading your post - the P3115 doesn't have a cable storage area. I think you might be talking about a different amp.

Wow - totally different than mine. Mine doesn't have that bottom port plate. Looking at pics on the web I don't see that on other P3115's - is that a mod?
Its obvious they made a running production change on the fly. The rear of mine is solid. I much prefer the front porting.
Nope, Just got it yesterday. Maybe it is a new version, I had to wait 3 weeks for it. Anyway, I used it on a wedding last night and, wasn't very impressed with it. I switched to my Roland cube 100 halfway thru the wedding, it did a way better job for me.
