just finished, one of the best shows for a while, every act played at the top of their game, even PIL!!!

purely out of interest!!? if i enlarge the ports to 100mm now whilst waiting for the speaker, do you think it would improve the current ashdown driver?

got to wait until 20th October for the speaker! Didnt think there would be a supply problem from blue aran?

Gotta say i really like it, and thats from a bloke who lives in Teignmouth and doesn't like Muse, or at least the over bombastic stuff, this is pretty commercial but to me thats's not a bad thing, and i want one of those manson guitars!

well, all i remember about being in bands in my 20's was the fantastic attention we used to get from the opposite sex! Nowdays 40's we are completely invisible except to old blokes who come up after gigs and say how we transported em back to thier youth, and " i used to play a strat/in a band" etc, etc, etc... seriously, don't worry if some treat you with a little ignorance, what i would give to be your age with the so called "experience" of my older years (still probably f**k up my chances though!)

Hi Paul a warm welcome from A fellow devonian! (Newton Abbot)

I know the Warwick has some internal bracing, the ashdown has none, will get internal measurements ASAP. I've already put acoustic baffling foam (?) inside the mag and that helped with the old speaker, the Warwick already had loads inside. Quite happy to cut holes in the mag, will get that drill bit, but 2 or 3 - 100mm holes?

Hi, just a gentle helpful tip. If you pop that ad over to the "for sale -amps and cabs" section, you'll get a lot more interest! Welcome to the forums by the way!

ok cab measurements! Ashdown mag - 61 cm wide 42 cm deep 47cm high Ports x 2 6cm diameter 9cm deep Warwick WCA 115 cab - 60cm wide 48cm deep 66cm high Ports x 4 10cm diameter 14.5 cm deep So can anybody enlighten me as to the difference and which might be better for the kappalite 3015? Thanks for this guys...

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1348067596' post='1808816'] Extending the ports lowers the tuning, with the MAG 1x15 that might help a bit, but the main limiting factor on those is they are small, so two more the same, and extending them all is the ideal. [/quote] ah ok, would it maybe be better to put the speaker in the warwick WCA pro 115 cab then? (it has 4 ports at the front)

Hey thanks Phil As you can (obviously) tell, Im completely new to this. Ive changed speakers before when they've blown years ago and simply just replaced one speaker for another (same ohms). So whats all this about porting? Am I going to have to cut bigger holes in the cab? Use bits of rolled up cardboard for the funnels? Im getting nervous here!

Im beginning to get the feeling blue aran think im a bit of a tw*t! Cancelled and reordered 3 times now, this has got to be the last time! At least you guys saved me a major FU, so again thanks!

so... the kappalite 3015 Is Actually A Better Speaker than the kappa pro 15, irrespective of the fact that its also lighter? Im sorry but i thought they were essentially the same but the neo thingy bit just made it lighter not actually er.."better" if you get my drift... (sorry i just fly the bloody thing...)

Arggggh ffs! 3015 it is !!!!!!!!!!!

ah i was wondering about this "porting" thing! The Warwick WCA 115 cab is deffo bigger (and more solid) with 4 ports as opposed to the ashdowns 2 rear ports. Ive actually changed my order now to a kappa pro 15 (its 60 quid cheaper) but a lot heavier so i was thinking the warwicks more solid construction might be more appropriate. Ive heard these kappa pro 15's are are monsters. Arriving tomorrow, ive downloaded the 25Hz break-in sine wave from Barefaced. It feels like the arrival of a newborn and getting the crib ready!!!!!!

got a gig tonight (sunday) at 7pm for a bike rally, also feels weird..

his other items for sale are also pretty "amazing"!!!

Thanks guys, have emailed blue aran to change order to standard 3015 Bc comes up with the goods once again! Mr Starr see you on Lemonrock!

thanks Bill im not going to find anybody round here with the time or inclination TBH! Ive ordered the kappalite 3015LF and im gonna bung it my old ashdown 115 deep mag cab or my warwick wca 115 and hope for the best! Trial and error on this one im afraid!

ok so thanks to some great advice from fellow BC'rs instead of poncing around with a 210 im thinking of going down the route of upgrading a 115 cab with one of these (apparantly) awesome speakers! Does anybody of have experience of these speakers and their opinion of them would be much apprciated as they're pretty pricey to stump up for without knowing what they're about. Thanks again guys!

eminence kappalite, eeeek seen the price of em!!!

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1347712848' post='1804249'] Buy a decent quality 15 inch speaker, like a eminence kappalite, and fit it in your Ashdown cab. These are the ones Barefaced cabs use in their compacts and have an extended frequency range. That should get rid of the wooliness and be cheaper than buying a new cab. [/quote] great idea thanks.
