Is 2 1x15 cabs a bad idea?

[BogeyBass]

Yes

Should make great rig
Add more spl to your mix

Likewise if the amp distorts alright.
A little 150 watt grind is fun.

As long as you dont drop the ohms to low
Keep her at 4 ohms and expect it still run hot. As long as the amps good

Ideal if speakers were matching or just find a fun cheap old school 2x15

Thanks for your answer. I’m looking for a 2x15, however I might pair my 150w 8ohms Hartke cabinet with another one

2x1x15 stack will be like a 2x15.

Add an HPF to control sub-sonic lows and you'll be golden.

sorry for the gigantic gravedigging

Hi marvinandroid

Let's ask an expert…

The expert says: A 215 cab will be a nice coffin but it will be heavy….
Nothing wrong in using two 115 cabs. You can use one for small gigs and two for big gigs.
In that case, get home before dawn!!!!

Welcome to TB!!!

may the bass be with you

Thank you master .
I'll try my 1x15 rig tonight at rehersals - should the thing fail I'll probably kill myself as I've got a gig on friday (small venue, thanks the gods).

Hey guys!! New member here, not a newbie to bass, but I'm just getting back in after having to sell off all my gear 4 years ago to pay bills. I just purchased a GK 1001RB 1x15 combo that will be arriving later this week. Now I've played with 1x15 combos in the past and loved the sound I've gotten out of them, however I've never had the opportunity to play a setup with 2 15's. Now I just stumbled upon an incredibly reasonably priced GK 1x15 RBH cab that would match the combo I purchased. I'll mention right now the price is hard to pass as he wants $200 for a $640 cabinet. Any thoughts on running 2 15's at all? I was originally gonna save up to eventually get theGK RBH 410 but it's $900 so it's gonna take quite awhile. I'm gonna be playing in two different bands, one that is indie rock and one that is a mix of blues/rockabilly.

Ok, two 15's for the rock band, one for the blues band ... bada boom, bada bing. you got it covered.. I'm jealous, I cant pick up a single 15 cab anymore. I use a 1x10 combo for my 3 piece country band, a 1x12 for a corporate band and 2 12's for my rock band ..

You may be surprised how well a good 15 will carry you, esp if your volume and eq are in the right ballpark..

Hi guys - sorry for the gigantic gravedigging. I’m really struggling here. I’d love to stack my 1x15 with another one but - is it a good idea to do it with a 150w head?

Why wouldn't it be?

 

[Mastermold]

I like running two 15s with an SVT. Sounds great.

 

[Ender_rpm]

Some will say its easier to move 2 1x15s, others will say its easier to move a 215, comes down to how many stairs you are expecting. I have a 115 and a 215, both peaveys, and honestly, the 215 is easier to move 90% of the time for the shows I play locally. It just LOOKS so out of place on these tiny stages

This is my favorite set up I have ever had. Play in a blues rock band at bars and outdoor gigs with no problems. I had and SVT and a 6x10 at the time and tried all the different combinations and the GK rig won out for me.

That's a nice looking bass with a tidy rig.
