Small(ish) cab to pair with an SVT
- Thread starter two fingers
- Start date
Yep, 24”. I had an early 90’s(?) one with a JBL in it once. Pretty cool cab.
He took out the 8ohm 15 and put in a 4ohm 15 himself. Yes, normally they’re 8ohm, but that ain’t ideal for an SVT.I thought it was 8 ohm. But it’s been a long time since I last saw one.
...I just love that rig. You just know it’ll sound killer looking at it.
I think Ampeg might have figured you’d be using two.
True dat.
There is something magic about tubes hitting a single 15 loud. It’s clearer than a 410. One of my favourite setups.
When i was in your situation, I picked up this used SVT-18e. I wasn't impressed with the 18" speaker and ended up installing a 15" Basslite C2515 with an adapter ring instead. Specifications show this 4-ohm speaker is designed for a cab of this dimension, plus it's made to run sealed or ported.
It been an awesome cab, I've gigged the hell out of it for 8 years now. It has a similar sound and feel as my flatback 810 and Berg NV610.
This cab is the same width as my blueline SVT. When flipped on its side it's wider than my 72 V4 head. I've ended up preferring the 2 outer shelf-ports sealed off by plugging with tightly rolled up black cloth.
If you run across a used 18e, you'll find more info here: Help, I think I wanna instal a 4-ohm/15" speaker in my SVT-18e cab, am I crazy?
