Sunn speaker cabinet

[David W. Smith]

Hi, I have found a Sunn 2x15 Speaker cabinet in a pawn shop. They are asking $399.00. It seems a little high, but I can work on that. The speakers are JBLs judgeing from the metal dust covers. It's a bass reflex cabinet maybe ported.
I could look into the cabinet (the jack plate is missing so I don't know the model
and the speaker jack is pushed into the cabinet leaving the hole).I looked in using a small flashlight and could see the grey frame and the small grill on the magnet cover. I know Sunn used D140's and D130's at different times so I am pretty sure the speakers are one of these two models. The tolex and grill cloth and the logo on the front are in execellent condition and the handles are there as well as the casters.
Has anyone had any experience with these cabinets and which heads they were used with?  Thanks in advance. David

David,

Does the cab look like this?

Other people here know better than me but it sounds like some variation on the "215B" cabinet.  There are some great scans of brochures/catalogs here (sunnamplifiers.com) that might help you ID and find out what heads were used.

What might the dimensions be (try to remember as close as you can)? Are the handles strap-type or a whole square unit like on a Marshall cabinet? Does the port run up and down the right side of the baffle, or is it in the middle of the baffle running horizontally between the speakers? What kind of color/pattern is the grille cloth?

DAVE, IF YOU FOUND A SUNN CAB, BUY IT. UNLESS YOU WANT A WIMPY SOUND. SUNN RANKED EQUAL WITH MARSHALL. JIM MARSHALL CUT DOWN ON JIMI SMASHING CABS AND AMPS, SUNN SAID SMASH AWAY! MARSHALL SELLS DROPED AND SUNN NEVER SAW SUCH AN BOOST.GET OFF YOUR PC AND GO BUY THE BITCH. YOU WON'T BE SORRY. DAREDEVIL DOUG(BASS PLAYER OF 36 YEARS & CUSTOM FINISHES)
