Genz Uber 115?

I would prefer 8 ohms. I think a 4 ohm single driver might get strained by the Shuttle 9.0.

I can see using two Uber 1x15's with the 9.0 . Bet that would be Old School King Heaven. :hyper::bassist::hyper:

No tweeters.
 
I've been wanting to try a 15 cab with 6" mid to have a little different flavor but something which could also be used with my Max 12.0 and Uber 212. I finally broke down and built my own Uber 115 - a fEarful inspired 15/6/1 stubby. This 8 ohm, 3-way cab is 23.75"h x 21"w x 18"d and can handle 500 watts rms. It uses an Eminence 3015LF woofer, 18Sound 6ND410 mid, Eminence ASD1001S HF driver with JBL 90x90 waveguide, and a 640/4500 Hz 3-way MCM crossover. There is a variable 100 watt pad for the HF and a fixed -3dB L-Pad for the 6" mid. Here are the plans, some construction pics, and the finished product.

It takes a bit of juice to really drive this but it's a hammer. Lows are very solid and the mids are quite present but smooth. I boost the bass and low mids a bit and adjust the horn level at the cab. It plays pretty well with the 212 and the stack is a monster. Just turn the 212 horn off and the 115 has enough mids and highs to carry both cabs. The tone is full and articulate and this stack can move LOTS of air - more than you'd need for any normal gig but it sounds great and is fun to play with. :bassist::bassist::D (I like it well enough that I'm going to build a mirror image to make a vertical stack when time permits.)
