Sunn SPL-82C8 Cab

[terrencerocks]

I HaVE A sUNN spl-82C8 CAB,

Greetings fellow Sunn fans. One thing this site lacks is documentation of exactly what amps and speakers were available over the years. In the early years there was no label on any of the speaker cabinets and in 66, the heads weren't even labeled. So I thought it would be nice to start a thread to fill in the missing information. Please don't post a reply with a quote at the top and then add a short comment at the bottom. If you have an old catalog, go through it as I have done here and post what you find. I'm sure there will be questions, please start another thread or PM me.

Still need: 71, 73, 76, 77, 78, 80, 81 and 83.

I HaVE A sUNN spl-82C8 CAB,

Good for you, Terrence! I'm just going to move this out of the Catalog Thread for you...

I hope it has wheels. According to the catalog it weights 147 pounds!

I designed most of the SPL speakers, and this doesn't sound familiar unless it was done after I left. You wouldn't mean an SPL8028 instead of 82C8 would you?
