MY Sunn 2X15M Cabinet...
« on: January 29, 2007, 05:01:01 am »
First , Hello everyone, Im a new person here. I have a Sunn 2X15M cabinet with the Magna  Alnico Speakers.I bought it with a Sunnn Concert Bass head, and I believe it is from about 1972. I have questions about the cabinet and speakers ( cabinet is the front loaded cabinet with the cool looking white port on the side). Anyhow, Aside from power handling, how do you like the tone of these old Magna speakers? I would guess that with a good tube amp they would be very warm and rich sounding. My main  QUESTION ;  is whether anyone uses these speakers and/or cabinets for guitars? I read through the search, and found out these speakers arent bass or guitar specific, and seeing as how Townshend used 15's- albeit JBL's- in the old cabinets in the 60's, I am wondering if the  "MAGNA 15 SPEAKER"  and/or the  " 2x15M CABINET"   WOULD BE A GOOD GUITAR RIG  used with a good tube amp? One concern from what i read tonight  is that I think this could be a particle board cabinet. I have not checked. If it is I'm going to get rid of it, so watch for it-it could be up for grabs. Anyone know what the value of a Magna 2X15 speaker is? THANKS!

I beg to differ, I'm not a stoner derelict, and neither are many of the people here. 


The reason I haven't responded before now is because I have neither pieces of your rig, and therefore can't exactly tell you how they would sound.  Plus, I have little experience with things other than my Beta Lead and Alpha Four mixer. 


Maybe one of the forum veterans will come along and give you some info, but I can't, sorry.

I do not know.  No one else will be able to tell you what sounds good to you.  Hook that bad boy up to a guitar and see if you like it.  If you don't like it, it's not a guitar rig.  If you do, it's a killer guitar rig.  It's that simple.
As far as old sunn magnas, in my experience they haven't been able to handle what i throw at them.  They might be perfect for you however.

And I was afraid Sunn was history after Fender dropped the name! Who are these stoner derelicts, and how can I order a new amp from them?

jerryjg, I must admit that made me laugh quite hard.  Then again, it is very late and I am very tired.  But I am determined to use that line at some point in an argument.

Your hyperbole is showing. Do you really mean "recalcitrant humility", is your abject redress disingenuous?

Pickinatit,

Η υπερβολή σας παρουσιάζει. Σημαίνετε πραγματικά τη «απειθή ταπεινότητα», είναι η άθλια επανόρθωσή σας ανειλικρινής;

It was all greek to me too :evil:
