Who's rocking two fifteens, no tweeters?

[johnk_10]

I wish cab makers who put tweeters on them would cross them over higher than 3.5k. If you like the 5k rolloff of 10"s, you lose it with the tweeter totally off. Sometimes I have to use a cab with a tweeter, and I'd like that extra high end back in the woofer.

i agree. that's why i modded all of my tweetered cabs to have a true bypass switch to have the option of bypassing the x-over/tweeter completely. that way i get the amp's full freq response output thru the speakers and let the speaker's own roll off be the only limit to the cab's high end.

That's pretty slick.

I'm rawkin' a tweeterless 2x12". I'm pretty anti tweeter.

owned and gigged with a randall roadwarrior sealed 2x15 cab back in the day. all in all not a bad sound. My tastes have changed and I go for the hifi sound these days.

An old Boogie, nope, no tweeter, just a couple EV15L’s. Grinding it out with little D and a maple jazz.

That would be me.

Ampeg 4vb 2 altec 421a's in a big ol folded horn. No mud. plenty of top end.

Two Bergantino HT115s. Sometimes a bit of tweet is OK, but only on top.

Picking up a 1967 Sunn 200s folded horn cab this weekend. It's unloaded currently. I sent the details to Eminence, and they claim the Kappalite 3015 should work in there, so I'm going to give them a try. I know, I know, they won't be the original JBLs ... a lot lighter and better able to withstand my Carvin B1500 though!

Looking forward to this cab ...

Cheers,
Liam

Also, I'm not too worried about beaming. I mentioned in another post about a festival I played last year. Only vocals went into the PA at this show. One of the other bands' bassist was playing a Sunn 300 head into a single 15". I walked all over the field, and heard everything I wanted to hear in a bass at over 45 degress off axis. He was using roundwounds too.

I know this might not jive with the science, but it was definitely what I heard. I haven't concerned myself too much with the beaming aspects of 15's since then. Especially for the music that I play.

Cheers,
Liam

Speaking of a Sunn 300t, here's mine. Sunn 215 cabinet that for it's size is surprisingly easy to transport. The head is a heavy s.o.b. though.

Take your pick.

 

[JimmyM]

Take your pick.

Thanks Bill! I won't be greedy...I'll take the Bt-15...box it up and I'll PM you my address

I ran 2 15s for years, no tweeters. One accommodation I made was to use an EV 15 SRO guitar speaker and one EV SRO bass speaker. Got more than enough high end out of the guitar 15.

 

[sickest beast]

I wish I were rockin 2 15s.

I only got one.

 

[brisonic]

Yeah I have a 15 in a 3 way triad.

I just picked up one of those Sunn/Fender 215s on Friday for $300. It sounds amazing. Can't wait to hear how it sounds with the full band.

Chef I'm curious why you stack your cabinets sideways?

Hi !

Ampeg V4BH with Electric 2x15.
Sounds great, I play in heavy rock n' roll trio (Mudhoney like), and never had power issues ...
Aguilar Tone Hammer helps sculpting tone and adds nice overdrive !

Never seen one of these but it doesn't look big enough to have two 15's in it.
