Members Billy Irish Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 Got two of these: 1x15" woofer with horn, 150w continuous/300 program, 8 ohms each. I could get a 300w head and use one at 8 ohms or string them together for 300w at 4 ohms. Would this sound just awful, or is that the speaker end of a servicable rig? All opinions/advice appreciated.

Members Rippin' Robin Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 It will work, and might even sound find! I'd try it out if I were you. No harm in trying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oldivor Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 You might want some headroom with that watts. I'd personally get something like a 450ish watt head to give you some headroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JRoll Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 I used to use a big JBL G-732 cabinet (15" w/ horn) for rehearsals so I wouldn't have to lug my 2x12 2200 around. It definitely did the job. I ran a SVT III pro into it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they look like these (SP2A's) If so, and the drivers are all in good shape, then they will sound good (not great, but good). I have a pair of them, and we drive them with one side of a 500/500 Yamaha powered mixer without issue. We don't put kick drum or bass through them though.

Members Billy Irish Posted February 26, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hammer, those speakers say 150 watts handling capacity on the back. Is that true--or anywhere near true? I don't really need them to sound great--good would be more than fine...servicable would be enough. It would save me purchasing a cab loud enough to get heard in my basement practice space with a noise band and allow me just to get a head.

It would be very seriviceable. You wont be causing any brown notes, but the bass will definately be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bleepo Posted February 26, 2007 Members Share Posted February 26, 2007 sp2's are decent bins for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members prosigna Posted February 26, 2007 Members Share Posted February 26, 2007 I use my SP2's as when I need an larger than a 20-watt practice amp. I have about 200-watts to push into one of the at 8-ohms. Mine have bi-amp inputs so I plug into the Low and just use the 15". While they are rated for 150-watts (mine are 300-watts) They start to honk long before they get up to 200-watts when used just for bass. The cabinet is just not tuned low enough for serious, loud bass. I have a line on an Avatar 115 and plan on adding a 210. For now the SP2s are what I got.

Moderators isaac42 Posted February 26, 2007 Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2007 You might find them a bit lacking on the low end. OTOH, a lot of dedicated bass cabinets lack on the low end, and lots of players like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
