Ported, there's a picture down below plus it says it's tuned.
Tuned to what, Godzilla's farts? All kidding aside, they look pretty cool. I just have never seen one and I've seen a thousand bands. The custom grill covers are hippy cool.
I thought it was a little strange too that they stated the back was sealed but then said it had two 4" ports. It says they're tuned to 35 hz which is really low for a ported cab at least stereo speakers, I'm not real familiar with tuned bass cabs. They do look cool though, I like dual 15" cabs, I bet they sound good, not cheap though, 1600 bucks for one.
105 pounds. Should do battle with the Basson cab.
I presume she still had flesh back when that page was last updated...
All for the low, low price of $1,600, plus
"Handmade Speaker Grills are Available (sold separately)."
Actually the grills look pretty cool and are probably my favorite part.
Also excludes shipping and packaging.
FYI, I googled the DMX 3150 drivers and they are used in the ZX5.
Congratulations..awesome cabinet..
This is my Alembic B-15 cabinet from the late 1970’s with my 72 SVT..loaded with JBL K-145. The second cabinet had JBL K-140 speakers. Made by Alembic while they were still in the speaker building business..when they decided to just build basses Bag End was formed.
I still have these cabs and although very good unlikely that I’ll gig with them.. they will be with me forever since my mother purchased them for me. Still have the Ampeg too.
Enjoy your new cab..what Head will you use?

I presume they mean closed back as opposed to a open guitar cab. But yes confusing.
I hope the man lugging that on stage is content knowing the audience probably won't hear it.
"Housed inside the HT-215B Bass Cabinet are two 15”, 500 watt EV DMX 3150 professional speakers. These high-end speakers with a virtually flat frequency response of 35hz to 3000hz perform perfectly inside the Hard Truckers cabinet tuned to 35hz."
3K huh? In the words of Jack Nicholson - Well whooptie Frickin' didly dooo.
HardTruckers? strange name, must be marketing for both kinds of music, country AND western. I keeeeeed I keeeed.

Sixteen.Hundred.Dollars.
I built this for less than $500.
If someone wants it - I'll sell it for $1500. You pick it up. My 215 build. TL-606 based, using Eminence Kappalite 3015's.

Hard Truckin obviously a reference to the Dead’s Truckin’.
There is absolutely no reason to fabricate these with 3/4” BB ply. Properly engineered bracing with 1/2” BB is fine. No wonder they are hernia-makers.
Lots of 215 lighter weight cabs out there. The Dually by Greenboy comes to mind.
I don’t see that EV driver listed anywhere. I wonder if these cabs are obsolete/out of production?

Not trying to hijack your thread. Anyone considering a 215 cab, I would look here also.
RS215T | RevSound
Under $1,000 and custom built for you. Dave made me a 212 cab a couple of years ago that is awesome. Give him a call. Great guy.

I like this Hemp cabinet. If it blows up onstage everybody will suddenly start playing Earache My Eye by Cheech and Chong.
