Obtained Sunn 215B - what should I use as replacement 15s?

Post by Seizurema »

Hey . I just bought a Sunn 215B SPL bass cab that has already had its speaker's replaced . Most likely one is a Peavey Scorpion, and the other some sort of nameless Hartke [opinions on this?] .

I plan on replacing both eventually, but most likely just the Hartke for now . Any suggestions for kickass bass 15"s ? Preferably on the cheap side .

I'll include a picture of the beast for reference.

Eminence Kappa Pro-15A is a great speaker, just not cheap. But it's worth it.

This seems to be the general consensus. Literally everyone has said either Peavey Black Widows or Eminence flavors . Is there any one who has used both that can tell me the difference ? (I'm sure either would kick the ass)

Ah decisions, decisions .

I finally got to try her out yesterday through an amp that couldnt push it all the way. Was still pretty ballsy . The PV Scorpion makes this pseudo-distorted buzz that gets lost in a band mix but is pretty noticable by itself. At first it sounded like something was faulty, but a friend that was over said he tried a few amps with Scorpions and they all sound like that ("possibly broken, but in a good way"). :idk:

Now I need to find a cheap toob amp to drive it properly. Any idears there ?

Cheers. :group:
