Anyone use 2 2x15 cabs?

[dbase]

I’ve still got my Plush stack with the 3x15”.
Rockin!

The coiled instrument cable really dates this picture. I don't see them anymore.

2X215 cabs? Thirty years ago, yes. Now, no way. Neither my back nor my vehicle could stand it.
Today I play through 4X12 (stage monitors) and 2X15, (FOH). And I rarely have to carry any of it.

I just flashed-back to 1980… with my RIC 4001 thru 4 Peavey 15’s
(I actually, sometimes, used the RIC-O-SOUND output… neck pu thru Peavey’s - bridge pu thru a Sunn head & 2x15 cab)
I’m old, now, so I must go to sleep!

In the second photo you’ve been blown away?

It's been a couple of years since I used my 2x2x15 rig for an outdoor venue. It was the 60s all over again. Created enough wind to make you bellbottoms flap in the breeze. At 73 years old, I've gone to lighter gear.

I definitely don't need this. But the the 3x15 sounds great with the Kustom head or my Trace V-Type head or my Ashdown CTM 100 or 30. Haven't run the Eden WT550 through it yet. I love the sound of a crap ton of 15's. Needed or not

1-15 and good FOH subs for reggae.

Kinda fun wasn't it?

This thread is giving me serious nostalgia to try it again. I see those old configurations as functional folk art now, especially the ones that really produce a unique retro tone and move the innards of people near it.

Besides. Humping gear will keep you young.

Been a long time since I used two twin fifteen cabs together, like 47 years. Here's that rig.

I called Avatar a few years ago about a 2x15 cabinet. I was told that it all has to do with shipping.

Hahaha… yup - ended up landing *here* (lost my hair & found a doggo in the process )

Way back when, Sunn 2000S powering 2 200S 2x15s loaded with JBL D-140s (spare 100S head on top of it all for decoration, I think).
This is actually the Pappalardi/Redding rig that was bopping around New York for awhile.

This is what I needed to figure out if I planned on getting the second cab. You are correct in saying the the NV215 is harder to find. That being said, I’m picking it up today. Thanks for the info and I appreciate it.

Probably pretty low risk to get the second NV215. If you decide you don't want to keep it, it should be fairly easy to flip.

If you're gonna rock the Ron Jeremy look you gotta back that up with an impressive rig!

While there's a lot of junk in those pix there definitely isn't a coiled instrument cable.
There's some old school headphones with coiled cables and some sustain pedals for ARP synths with coiled cables but my last coiled instrument cable failed sometime before 1979 and wasn't replaced.

Thanks all for the thoughts, opinions, and info.

I'd avoid that one. It was briefly at Guitar Center in College Station, TX in December 2020. I drove all the way from Austin to check it out and passed. It has had water damage and all the cone surrounds have weird mildew-. Every screw is rusted. Here's the bottom:

Ah. Yikes. Thanks for passing this info along, @gyancey .
