Show Your Love For 15's - Post Those Cab Pics!

[Korladis]

My main players hardly sound "vintage".

Dude, sweet setup. And that bass looks super clean.

Mine...

hopefully, i'll be getting at least one acoustic 408 (4x15 cab!) tomorrow (and possibly two of them ) locally. i'll post some pics of 'em when they show up. i used to have one (with a 320 head) in the late 70's-early 80's and i always loved the sound of those cabs.

Just picked this up recently. Think I'm going to change out the speakers. Just can't decided what kind to get.

cool cab. what speakers are in it? they look like JBLs or old black widows.

very refreshing the see that pro audio cab

 

[Session1969]

EAW VB-125 cab, vintage 80s, loaded with an Eminence Kappalite 3015.

Gets a little ugly -sounding pretty quick on its own if you punch up the volume on the amp, but in the band it delivers smooth, punchy, deep presence, even outdoors without PA.



Hartke VX215, stock:

I'm working on getting this loaded with 3015s as well, or I might just clone the EAW. For now I have this though, which sounds good, especially for the dirty rock gig.

The tweeter was shot when I got it, so I nixed the crossover and wired the 15s to the input jack. It's a bit 'muted' sounding compared to some other 2x15s out there- the stock Hartke "VLF-1508" drivers need that tweeter for highs- nonetheless I can dial some in...

Would you say that it's especially good for reggae ?

 

[banikek]

nice! have you tried the butt-plug things in the ports to change the cabinet tuning? (supposedly, plugging one port per cab lowered the box tuning.)

I have not done that yet. I will have to make up my own plugs as the originals are long gone. I like to experiment so it should be fun.

+1 on the 408 cabs Been looking for one but they don't come up too often.

Mmmmmmmm 15's! Lots of good stuff in this thread. Here are my two Trace Elliot 1153t cabs. They sound great with any amp I match them with.

I really dig this setup.

I also have a B100R (15"), but I don't seem to have a pic of it right now

Very nice.
Is the 1x15 4 ohms?
I love the NV215, my favorite all time cab.

 

[sickest beast]

This is my favorite thread in AMPS. Lots of giant 200watt + tube amps on top of giant 15 inch speaker cabinets. MMMMM mmm.

Thanks! The 1x15 (HT115) is 8 Ohms.

 

[punchclock]

2 TL-606s... with an orange TB500.

and 2 ampeg b200r combos.

please excuse the backwards bass.

 

[sickest beast]

punchclock, you're rigs are really really nice. I love how P basses sound through 15s. I really dig the 2 Ampeg B200Rs stacked.

I have one B200R, but you might have inspired me to try and pick up another one (at the right price, of course) to create a stack like yours.

 

[Battlemode]

My Coliseum-300/Acoustic 106 rig. I'm keeping my eye out for a second cab...

 

[Slackerprince]

Just got the SVT 7 Pro to go with my Avatar TB153:

These cabs have gone up $140 since I got mine ($449 + $55 shipping). Can't believe the first people got them for $399.

I'm interested to know how you like that SVT 7? Been thinking about one of those myself. Those TB153 cabs look nice

Would you say that it's especially good for reggae ?

I would, but it depends on your personal take on that. It's not a fEARful, so you won't get the same hilarious lows... but it's deep and dubby, and sounds quite nice. I haven't played a reggae gig with it yet, but it'll come along if I do, and will definitely handle the gig.

Hey, nice cabs! I bet that rig sounds just cherry.

At Home Depot you can get 4" caps that are used by plumbers for some kind of light-pressure testing on pvc. They're yellow plastic ashtray-looking things, about .30 a pop. Paint them flat black with some plastic-compatible spray paint. That shutting of one port really works.
