1975-ish 215 SH Cab
(1/1)
bigobassman:
This cab is on CL and Ebay. Not terribly far from me. Doesn't have original speakers, but I've still got the 2 JBL D140F's that I was going to put in the 215 side vented cab deal that fell through last week. Speaker access is from the side.
Jack plate has Sunn transducer 158B.
215 SH - 4 ohms.
160 watts RMS
I base my 1975-ish date from consulting the catalogue section. Other than the measurements being a little different than what he says, pretty much described.
Thoughts, comments, suggestions. Thanks!
Isaac:
IIRC, the 215SH was the 2x15" version of the folded horn cabinet. JBL D140's should be a good fit for the cabinet, though not necessarily the best cabinet for them. I think they're best in a vented direct radiator cabinet, but, as I said, they have good characteristics for loading into a folded horn: low Fs, low Qt.
bigobassman:
Thanks Isaac. I have another possibility. I have a couple of newer Peavey 1502DT Black Widows that are pretty stout, although I've never used them in a folded horn type cab. Due to seller being out of town next week, it'll be a week from Monday before we can get together. In the mean time, any other speaker thoughts?
Isaac:
As I recall, the Black Widows are also low Q, low Fs drivers. Should be fine.
