    Just as the title says.....I was thinking of selling my Ampeg 810 to pick up a pair of these.

    I want the 115s in hope to one day have my dream amp the Orange ad200b. Just wanted to know if my gk would sound good out of a pair of these.

    The OBC 15 is a terribly over priced cab. It isn't bad but for the kind of money they ask for them it is a rip off. Cheap thin tolex that rips easily, cheap (but ok) speaker, no insulation inside the box, good plywood but a very heavy cab with no way of putting casters on it.
    You can do a lot better for a lot less.

    The best would be a Greenboy Dually for around $1250. That's a 50 +- pound 215 that just kills
    or you can build two TL606's with 3015's in them @ about 40 pounds each for about $650-700 for the pair.
    Both set ups will handle your 800rb at very loud volumes. The OBC will not.

    The Dually is the best 215 no horn or mid driver cab there is. Very vintage sounding but light and takes gobs of power. Handles a 5'er great too.
