FranticAct Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Hi Folkes, Do any of you guys have any knowledge about this driver, and would it be suitable as a standalone speaker in a cabinet? I have a chance of bagging one for a good price but initially it would be used in isolation rather than an extension cab. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

stevie Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I take it you're referring to the 12" driver(?). It's got enough HF for most people but I'd describe its sound as 'warm'. It you want tweetery type top end, it hasn't got it. It's fine as a standalone speaker but you're not going to sound like Marcus Miller.

FranticAct Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Thanks Stevie, Sorry I forgot to mention that its a 15, would your comments still apply? Can I assume even less top end with it being a 15? Steve Edited October 17, 2015 by FranticAct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I've no experience with the 15 but judging from the spec sheet, it should sound similar to the 12. Definitely not just a woofer; the treble is there but it's not extended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranticAct Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Thanks again. This would eventually become an extension cab so I'll give this some thought. If I get it I'll be asking advice on cab dimentions next! Ive looked at WinISD but there was quite a bit of head scratching going on.

FranticAct Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Turns out that it is a 12 and not a 15 afterall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hi all I used to use one of these as my rig - I installed it in a cheapy old GK Backline cabinet. It was an eminence delta 15 LF 500w 4 ohm thing. Worked brilliantly. Plenty of welly, loads of bass and a good all round sound. As someone else pointed out, you ain't gonna be Marcus Miller or Mark King with it, but I found it great as a single cabinet rig - warm, fat and smooth. After the GK cabinet bit the dust I pulled the speaker out and put it on our bassbins, where it also sounds great. Good speakers imho.
