Help Identifying Cabinet

[Al Kraft]

What you have is an early Peavey 115 bass cabinet. The reason why it came standard as 4 ohm (be sure to check to see if the driver might have been changed) is because back in the late 70's and early 80's it was common to see Peavey bass amps that were 200-300 watts at 2 ohms so 2 x 4 ohm 15" cabinets made sense.

It was shipped with an inexpensive stamped frame 15" with a low compliance suspension. It was really a PA driver, but had pretty good (for the time) low mid to mid rock voicing.

If it works, good deal if you don't mind heavy. Just note that if it really is a 15" driver in it, it's a very low lower handling cabinet and most of the modern micro heads can blow the crap out of it without any difficulty.

I was a big Peavey user back in the 70's and 80's and this sounds 100% on the money to me...as if Andy ever gets this stuff wrong...

I tried it with my Mark Bass LM3 and it works like a charm However I may decide to put in a 400 watt NEO speaker in there if I can get a good deal on one. Then use it as a bottom to my 2 10 traynor cab

IMO, you'd be better off finding another 2x10 to pair up with your Traynor.

Peavey 115 cab from the mid-late 80's like @agedhorse said already. @agedhorse I understand from learning here about specific speakers designed for certain internal volume etc. and I was wondering. Could the OP drop a newer Neo 15" in there? While the cab isn't light, I had one of those with the Black Widow and a Peavey Mark III or IV head and the dang thing got really loud. I remember this cab also was available with Black Widows.

So typical of young musicians, taking the nameplate off because they were embarrassed by the name...... Well, it's easy to buy a replacement on eBay if so inclined.

There should be a black metal label on the back of the cab with model and date on it like this:

Peavey

The 115s were basicly half of the more common 215s.
I bet if you measure it you will find it is 3 cu ft.
All the disscusions about the 215 cab will be valid for the 115.

I have one of those moldering away in a barn somewhere. I have thought about putting a decent speaker into it, but then I remember the 1,000,000,000,000 other things I need to do first and it gets pushed back further into a corner.

OP: You may have read that I have only blown one speaker in my 49 years of playing bass and It wasn't the speakers fault. (too much beer). It looked just like the Peavey you have. I think it came as part of a package with a Peavey Centurion head.

It's an Eden D-115XLT.

I've never seen an Eden with those vertical strips on each side of the grill. That was more of a Peavey design feature.

I think Munji is being sarcastic, because by the time he replied I had not fixed the mistake of not uploading the pic of the cab! So my bad on that one

View attachment 2375735 Not much to go on here.

I kinda think its an old Acoustic maybe a 1X15

Any ideas?

Guess it is not working, and he is giving it away. Well a nice NEO 15" and I could have something nice here!!

I had a couple of those old Peavey's. Used them with my practice rigs.

 

[basscooker]

Definitely pull the driver to confirm Peavey, and 4 ohm. I thought those older ones had the aluminum dust caps.

Anyway, if you decide to change the speaker, one of the black widow replacements should be your first choice, but do a little research on which one.

There was no photo when I posted, so I went with the info available, which was none. Check for my revised opinion in post #17.

I was being facetious.

I just sold mine to other day. I had a JBL D130-140 in it.
It matched nicely with a Peavey Centurian head, but it was heavy.
I would recommend an Ampeg SVT-15E cab instead. There are lots around used and they have handles on the side.

It's weird, I plugged into my head last night and it worked fine, today it's completely dead lol!!

Well I guess it's time for some surgery to be preformed

Unless you really blew it up, an intermittent sound/zero sound issue seems like a loose connection at the jack plate or the speaker, an easy fix. You might not have to pull the driver if you start with the jack plate. Good luck, Bob

yup thats what I'm thinking. Chances are it's just a wire

 

[Giffro]

I would say its definately a Peavey..probably a 15..check out my 1820 (1x18" 2x10") The brushed aluminium side strips are unmistakable plus the Peavey cabs are heavy as anything.
