Info on my cabinet?
« on: December 18, 2002, 10:07:26 am »
I just found this forum yesterday and would like some information on the cabinet I've been playing through since '87 or so.  It was given to me by a friend who was moving and couldn't take it.

I've been driving it with my Carvin X-60 tube (guitar) amp, bypassing it's 12" Celestion.  I play a Telecaster and this cabinet sounds GREAT!

From the plate:

Sunn 115M
Serial number C006752
Speaker 15 Magna (?)
Power 120W rms.

How old is it?  What Sunn amp was it sold as a complanion to?  :o
Cheers,

Hi Erwin......as you probably noted in the other post......the 115M was originally loaded wit a 15" Sunn Magna speaker and was recommended for use with a Concert Bass amp.  It's probably a mid 70's and by that time Sunn was pretty hip on what they recommended matching cabs to. In a sense, if you found ANY Sunn head, you were "marketingly-encouraged" to put it through ANY Sunn cabinet that was even remotely related. They called it their "Mix and Match" product line. :lol:
