Re: recommendations for a 15" speaker for sealed bass-guitar

There are none that I know of. For one thing there is no marketplace demand for it. And low EBP, high sensitivity and high xmax would be an engineering challenge, as those factors tend not to be complementary. Thank you! At least I know that I do not have to look further. Then Maybe the Kappalite 3...

Re: recommendations for a 15" speaker for sealed bass-guitar

This is the reason we don't split subs unless in a really really big room. The town hall I'm playing in tomorrow is too small to split them. I dont plan to split the subs, i.e. the 15" cabinets, I plan to stack them and put them in a "middle position". I plan to split the frequencies...

Re: recommendations for a 15" speaker for sealed bass-guitar

Have you tried this single sub / stereo mids arrangement yet? If not, I strongly suggest that you try it with cabs on-hand or borrowed cabs before you build this rig. I tried this sort of arrangement for my son's bass rig at one point, and it wasn't at all what we'd hoped-for. It only sounded good ...

Re: recommendations for a 15" speaker for sealed bass-guitar

Go with a pair of LAB12-loaded 16"w T39s (side-by-side) and a pair of DR200s on sticks (separated, as you want). MUCH better than your original plan. http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/T39.html http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/DR200.html thx for the tip cause it appeals! But what I did not see on th...

Re: recommendations for a 15" speaker for sealed bass-guitar

I already got some helpful answers here (fEARful, Omni15). The talkbass guys don't have so much experience in building and speaker-models than you guys! that for sure! (I posed the quest there before. no one came up with a speaker-suggestion) Please don't throw me out just because it's a not-so-on-t...

Re: recommendations for a 15" speaker for sealed bass-guitar

If you want to build two 15" sealed cabs and then extras for mids and tweeters, why not build two Omni 15 cabs... they can use the 3015LF and the Alpha 6, as well as one of several tweeters IIRC. You will get more volume and better sound than what you propose, and it doubles as a PA. Btw, line...

Re: recommendations for a 15" speaker for sealed bass-guitar

3015lf is not recommended by the manufacturer for sealed cabs that's my question: what is a 15" suitable for as well ported as sealed application, ideally working fine in one and the same cab volume? (the 3015 has an EBP of 90 and some people propose that EBP's of 50 to 100 work ok for sealed ...

recommendations for a 15" speaker for sealed bass-guitar cab

Any recommendations for a speaker for a 1x15" cab for bass-guitar which is going to be a sealed one ?? A friend suggested an Eminence Kappalite 3015LF. Plus he suggested making the cab rear-ported with the option to stuff (seal) this single round port as needed. Is the Kappalite 3015LF a good c...
