2 x 15 cabinet

[iriegnome]

Recommendations?? I am done with smaller speakers. I have always been a big fan of the feel and tone of 18's, but they are a little sluggish for a more progressive sound. I think a dual 15 cabinet is what I am and have been looking for...
Big Bertha's are good on paper, but I have never heard one and have not found an SWR that I like the horn sound.
Old version Peavey dual 15's would work, but I would dump the crappy BW's and put something else in them. Short of having LDS make me one, what else is out there that does not weigh a million pounds and will give me a huge amount of power handling. Need it to handle about 800w and be 4Ohms.

What is your budget?

 

[iriegnome]

$1000 maybe ish??

I would like USA made and quality. I am looking for a cabinet that will take a work out and keep up. It will need to be able to last 10+ years without worries..
Oh, here is one to blow everyone away, I prefer rat fur as well. Do not at all like the ToughTex or bedliner spray on stuff..

Hard to find, but see if you can score some Trace Elliot 2 x 15's - a 1528 or 1524 (4 ohm) would work. I've got a 1528 and use it for my gigging cab - tremendous low end response great sensitivity.

Schroeder Old style would work.. I am not sure I care for the new ones

I rocked one of these for a while not too long ago. Traynor YT-15 2-Way Bass Cabinet Black Tolex | Reverb
Have you thought about two separate 15" cabs? I sold a similar cab to the one listed above and got two Orange OBC115. Way happier with that solution.

Find 2 Fender Neo 115 Bassman cabs.
Great standard 115 cab that handle a gob load of power.

I would find a Peavey 215D. Dont look past the Black widows though, as long as they are the 1505-8DT's, and not the 1502's.

Greenboy Dually from your most local builder.

Working on getting away from separate cabs. BWs would not handle the power. Not wanting a heavy metal speaker cab. Not a head banger. No offense, but I do not at all like orange cabs. Don't like Mark bass either

The 1505's have almost as much mechanical power handling as some of the best neo speakers. Just sayin'.

So what other than size and a horn would be different than a pa dual 15??

The internal volume of a cab, and the porting, have just as much to do with the sound of a cab, as the driver inside.

How do you spell out that cat call whistle guys give girls?

I love 2x15s, it's what I usually play.
For your requirements the fEarful Dually is a good choice.
Bergatino NV215, if you can find one.

Trace 15s are insane, but heavy. That's why I got rid of mine.

I am starting to think I should just replace the speakers in my Schroeders and keep on keeping on. It doesn't seem to be the popular direction with 2x15's any longer. Years ago, 15's and 18's were bass speakers and 10's and 12's were guitar speakers. I guess that is why I would like to go back to the 15's.
