15" Driver's (1 x 15 Cabs)

[jastacey]

I'll give my views on a 1x15 driver, I currently use a Electro-Voice EVM 15B in a Spec built tl-606 cabinet ( EV published these plans years ago and they are still readly available for down load ) and I've like the full open sound ... the JbL- 140 e is a great speaker and should be mounted in a proper box ..... the point is all speakers can sound good, great, poor, nasty ... it all depends on the tuning of the box

I have the new Trace 2x10 and 1x15. They sound really good, and I finally dialed in the GK to sound good with them. I feel like they break up a liitle bit compared to ampeg 6x10, but that's the only other cab I can compare them to besides an avatar neo 4x10. The avatar couldn't handle the power, The ampeg was too clean sounding. Trace is just perfect.

There isn't a single review on the whole net that reviews the new Trace cabs, I've searched plenty.

I know...It's so weird eh?
Other than Bass Player magazine and Bass Guitar reviews, brief that they were.

I have an ancient cab (35+ yrs old - built by me and the drummer when I was in school). Very very heavy and very big. I just need to replace the driver and wiring. The only times I'd play out with it is when my 212 Epi doesn't quite fill out the bottom end in a biggish room. There are no ports yet, but I can handle that I think. So, gotta find a driver and make the best match to the box, and learn how to tune the box.

I read in Bass player years ago that two 10s= one 12, two 12s= one 15, etc. But who knows?

In much the same way that two handfuls equals a bucketful, and 3 buckets is equivalent to a boxful.

I hope you are mis- or under-quoting them.

Hey man I'm just doing my parrot routine, it's not my fault the pet store personnel were speaking gibberish when they taught me to talk.



Hence the "Who knows?"
