I'll try to upload the picture I just found of my old SUNN 4x15" cab. I had 4 EVM's in there wired to 4 ohms. Weighed about 900 lbs!, ahh to be young again!! I would use that in a heartbeat if I could still pick it up!!

I Miss The 2x15!
- Thread starter Lowbrow
- Start date
I've got two b15 cabs, a 2x15 b25 cab and an Olympian portaflex in a 2x15 cab.
I use 15s for guitar and bass. I love them. 10s can gtfo my face, mostly.

That's two Acoustic 406s and an Acoustic 106, plus an Acoustic 405 for good measure, with two Acoustic 450s, an Acoustic 470, and a Sunn Beta Bass powering them. Not mine, but I was involved in the recording project for which this wall of thunder was assembled. And, I did sell one of the 406s (and one of the 450s, for that matter) to the owner, and I still have a 406 of my own.
I also have a Fender Dual Showman cabinet with 2x15s, but they are JBL D130Fs, and I have not used them (yet) for bass, just for guitar with a Dual Showman Reverb head.

I love 2x15's!!! They are the only cabinet I will consider anymore. That being said, they are a rare beast in this day and age... Does anyone know of any custom cab companies who will build them? Most of the ones I've checked only do 1x15's... 
I've resorted to using a 2x15 Bassman cab with the back removed (the Eminence Kappa 15 drivers have far too much travel to sound any good in a sealed, non-ported cab!), which is killing the projection and efficiency of the rig.

Emperor builds them, and they look really nice. I believe their prices are reasonable too.
Old guys now use 4x10,s because we cant lift the 2x15 anymore.
Whoa - if that thing sounds like it looks...
Yeah - 115 lbs. That's why I miss the 2x15: I'm a broke-backed bassist who misses the very cabs what broke his back!
BUT! I just got two 1-15 cabs, and I think I'm on my way to becoming a happy camper.

No problem! They look and I would assume sound great. If you search emperor there is a big long thread on them.
Yep bothers me too. cant stand to see MY Countrys flag flown wrong. Alot of people have died for that flag and it deserves to be displayed properly, with honor.
WRONG- it does matter--- The only time the flag can be displayed backwards(as you see on a Army uniform) is when marching into battle. The reason you see them on our young Warriors like that now -is that we are at war.And there is nothing humorus about it. A self proclaimed patriot and a Vet -You Bet i am. And proud of it.
Might not be a big deal to you ,but let me say its a big deal to those who have fought under it. I have lost alot of Brothers who gave All For this country. And My Flag deserves to be treated with respect. If you dont know proper Flag etiqute -take a little time off from here and read about Flag.

quit being rational, thats now how this works- your supposed to pick your team and root for them regardless.
back on topic- i do recall that mesa 2x15" having a really awesome vibe to it. if i diddnt already have too many cabinets that i was already satisfied with, i probably would've went there.. depending on weather or not it fit in my car.
Love 2x15s! I've played through 10s, 12s 15s and 18s and various combinations thereof (I played through 1x18 for a few years too). I have a 4x10 and like it a lot but I miss the sonic character of 2x15.
I still have my old Acoustic 2x15 cab (402 I think) and plan to refurbish it this year and "get it back in action" as it should pair nicely with the 4x10. But once I can get to a tablesaw I will build an exact duplicate of the Acoustic and run a matching pair!
Cheers!
