Members Mytola Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 2x10, definately. 15"'s are generally muddy and don't have a quick enough attack for me, at least the ones I've tried. 10's are a lot punchier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the 15. The SWR Son of Bertha is plenty punchy. Yes, a 2x10 + 1x15 would be better, but if I have to choose between a 2x10 or a 1x15, I'd take the 15. (However a 2x12 is a different story!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bill Carr Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 I've had two 1x15s, a cab and a combo. The combo (H&K) was much better than the cab (Hartke) - better note definition, more "punchy" and surprisingly louder even though it was rated at half the wattage. However, I'm awaiting delivery of a 2x10. More speakerage = better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there's not much difference in surface area between a 1x15 and a 2x10 (with the 1x15 surface area being slightly greater): area = pi * r^21x15: 3.14159 * 7.5 * 7.5 = 176.7 in^22x10: (3.14159 * 5 * 5) * 2 = 157.1 in^2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members natasmi Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 This has been doing it's job since 1979, cab has a old kickass Electrovoice 15" ' alt='>'> I never needed 10's and still love the 1X15" sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xOriginalNinjax Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 I always thought 10's>15's in terms of punch and response and clarity...but I got the Ampeg 215 and I disagree...it's louder (of course, it's a 4 ohm vs the 8 ohm) but it's punchy and thumpy...and lovely. mmmmmm.

Members hawkhuff Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 :cop: Depends what you want to do. The 2x10 should have better highs and mids. The 1x15 would be nearly opposite. Of course, this has a lot to do with the brand too. I would recommend one of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Avatar 2x10 and 1x15 Neo cabs and I love the sound I get running both. Either is a good stand alone cab, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L-1329 Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 The Peavey Tour 115 renewed my long forgotten love for 15" speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poltergeist Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 The 2x10's have a brighter sound, but not as full and (generally) not as punchy... the 1x15 have bassy wall-like sounds, especially the ampegs... but depends on what are you getting... i heard a Aguilar 2x10 cab recently and it sounded SICK! if you can get both, that would be freakin sick!

Moderators Kindness Posted October 18, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 18, 2007 Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there's not much difference in surface area between a 1x15 and a 2x10 (with the 1x15 surface area being slightly greater): area = pi * r^2 1x15: 3.14159 * 7.5 * 7.5 = 176.7 in^2 2x10: (3.14159 * 5 * 5) * 2 = 157.1 in^2 Volume displacement is what matters, not surface area. Speakers operate as pistons. I have 2 2x10s and a 1x15 and love them all. My 2x10s are designed to be full range and smooth. My 1x15 is designed to be a more limited frequency response with the same smoothness. I judge/evaluate speakers one at a time and not by the size of their drivers. However, it would be ignorant to ignore that most 1x15s have a very strong mid presence with little true low end and a very perceptible high end drop off due to some degree to their poor polar response. On the other hand, most 2x10s simply lack the excursion needed to deliver the lows at tremendous volume. In the end, I tend to like cabinets that are designed as full range 3-way systems or 2-way systems that lack a tweeter. Who really needs anything over 6 kHz anyway?
