Which 15" woofer for this box?

Mmmmmmm kinda. I have most of the tools, and most of the knowledge but not all of either nor a good place to do it. More importantly I don't really have the time to do it. Multiple rehearsals every week and gigs almost every weekend....

Gotcha. You could build a modified TL606 around a 3015 and it would be a killer cab.

Appreciate the suggestion, I'll look into it. I'll ideally make a fEarful cab one of these days.

I am not sure what you have in mind when you say a modified TL606, but I would like to hear more about it.

The internal volume of his cab is very close to a TL606. Maybe he could use it as a starting point for what you are suggesting. Maybe some added internal bracing and different porting combined with a different speaker.

If it were me, and money was tight, I would live with the cab until I could afford something I liked better.

I have a TL606 with an EV15L, (Mesa Boogie Road Ready Diesel), and I think it sounds pretty good with my old Ampeg tube amps. It would not be very difficult to build one of these with basic carpentry skills and tools. The hardest part would be to make the exterior look like a professionally built cabinet.

I would convert it to 1/2" ply, add bracing, and optimize the volume and porting for the speaker chosen.

OK. I thought you might have had some specific ideas regarding a certain speaker, and appropriate porting. Did you mean to say convert it to 3/4 inch ply? (His cabinet is already 1/2 ply, so that is why I assumed bracing would probably be a good idea).

So US Speaker recommended the Kappa 3015 (yellow) or the Faital 15PR400 (green.) Here's the chart.

No. The TL606 plans specify 3/4".

I think you guys are talking halfway about two different things.

Yeah, I was confused. Deleted my post.
