EV TL-606...2x15

[Plucker Tom]

I have this EV tl-606 2x15"...layin around and it had rotted out cones.(edges)...so I was bored and reconed them..I used to use them along time ago for my home theater....They say...4 ohm..800 watts on the cab..Anyone know if there any good for bass guitar..I just reconed these the other day and didn't wire them up yet but..Just wondering if anybody have used these..or are they junk..?

 

[Plucker Tom]

[Plucker Tom]

[Plucker Tom]

and this is what my speakers looks like...same one..

 

[walterw]

oh man, those would rage for bass guitar! dunno how heavy or sturdy they are for gigs, though; i'm guessing they were built for permanent installs?

either way, there's plenty of TL606-based gigging cabs out there, like the boogie cabs or the orange cabs.

Hi Plucker T,

The Original drivers that were designed to be in the TL-606, IIRC was the Electro-Voice EVM 15L; (for Pro Audio application), but were also sold as a bass guitar speaker. The EVM series replaced the "SRO series" drivers in the late 70's and were competing w/ the JBL D-130, E-140, and the Altec Lansing 421A, ("Voice of the Theater") and so were considered the 'Top-of-the-heap' in their day! Enjoy them! Cheers

Those are TL606DW's, TL606 were shelf port. They also work very well for BG.

 

[Plucker Tom]

Your right..they are the 606DW...What is the difference in the 606 vs 606DW..? besides cabinets..?? Are the specs different on the drivers..?

It is the cab model:

The 606DW was still spec'ed for the 15L or 15B like the 606.
