2 115 cabs

#2
About two years ago I retired my 410 because it was getting just to difficult to move around. I picked up a pair of Bag End S-15D's and absolutely love them. I'm old school and two 15's give me the tone I'm looking for.

I've tried a lot of combinations including 2 15's. I've settled on 2 10's and 1 15. This combination is easy to transport and offers full tonal range.

that was my original intention,being able to have 115,210,or 210 and 115 according to size of gig,however i now find i have to make three different eq settings depending on what setup i use that night and it's getting to be a pain.

I've tried 210/115 rigs and never cared for them. I even brought my amp and a 115 to my favorite bass store to try various 210's with my actual gear and couldn't like any of them. By themselves 210's are fine..or 410's or 210X210, etc. The combination just seems to be somehow dissonant...maybe just the different "throw" of the two speaker sizes?? At any rate, the best thing that I've found to go with a 115 is another 115. :)

I use three of the S15D's in a lovely vertical stack.

+1....That's been my experience as well except I'm not a big fan of 10's. Two single 15's are my favorite set up.

I used a pair of 1x15 Yorkville Sound cabinets with a GK 400RB for about 10 years. That was my favourite bass rig. Great sound. Not at all muddy. The guys I played with liked it too. The cabinets weighed about 53 lbs each and each was rated for 300 watts. Pretty easy to load in and out. If I was still playing gigs where I needed to be that loud, I'd still be using it. Never a bit of trouble with it.

When you run different speaker sizes, are they given different EQs? For instance, the 15 would be low-passed with all the lows of course, and the 10s getting the mids and highs? Or are they just given the same?

I don't know much about this sort of thing from a bass playing point of view, just from what I read when I was really into cars and car audio in my early teens. And I always remember hearing that you shouldn't mix cone sizes if they're covering the same frequencies because it will sound crap due the differences in the speed and stability and whatnot of the different drivers.

Of course, I haven't experienced this, so I don't know, but that's just what I heard.

Another very happy user of two 15" EV TL606 cabinets. One is fine for low volume work, bring 'em both for loud stuff or bigger outdoor things. What is really nice is they both fit in the back seat of my mid size car.

Gee, my EV TL606's sure look just like those Oranges!
