Help me identify this Sunn cab
« on: February 19, 2010, 01:37:18 am »
Found this on craigslist for $100. The seller doesn't know anything about it, but he says it is an old Sunn bass cab, 75w RMS at 4 ohms (sounds a little low to me for a bass cab... but I don't know much). Anyone know what model it is? Thanks in advance.

I like to play the "Guess Which Sunn" game as much as anybody, but that's a little vague. I don't know of any 4 ohm cabs factory rated for 75 watts, bass or otherwise.
You gotta get a pic or dimensions or something!

Looks like a late 70's early 80's 215B.

From the pic it looks like a 215S style cabinet with a funky metal grill. That basic design was used by Sunn for years (I think it first appeared in '71 or '72) with slightly different cosmetics from era to era.
For $100 I'd buy it, they are a very versatile and manageable 2X15 and I've yet to find a driver it doesn't sound good with.
