About 815s

Hi guys,
I have a pair of 815 cabinets and I want to Know for which speaker type those cabinets are made?
Thanks

515's & 416's - but they must all be, as I recall, with 15" frames.

Thanks Todd
I heard that those cabinets was original fitted with 411s here in Sweden!Is it possible that?
Can you make them to go deeper in the bass region with same modifications?

Jim Dickinson can tell you more, but the 815 had a sealed rear chamber, as I remember, so, yes, the 411 would probably like that.

Personally, I like the 817 much better - it has venting and horn loading, so you get the best of bot worlds.

Thanks Todd
Maybe Jim read this post!
Iam thinking to enlarge the cabinets and make them somthing like VOTT, with one horn-part and one space f?r bass-reflex!515Gs are preferred!

The Anaheim spec sheet calls for the 515B or 421A woofers but I have run all kinds of woofers including 418s and 416s which, by the way, sound fantastic in there. Also, the 16" frame fits fine.

Thanks thevott
It will be 515G?s for me and then some modifications to pump up the bas region!
I will report you the results!

I have and still use a pair of 815,s that were purchased new in 1977 and 16in frames not only fit fine, that is what came with them, 421-8LF 16in frame woofers!


I also agree with Todd about the 817, which i also have, the venting gives a nice low end sound, while still having horn loading! The 816A is also a fav of mine.
