Was thinking a 1x15 cab might compliment the Dr.Z 4x10 cab and also be an interesting extension for the Sky King. Never had a 15 before or even considered one. Don't think the Dr.Z needs any depth adding (if that's what a 15 does) at all but maybe it'd be a cool blend?

Whadaya reckon?

love 15's.But my end game is perhaps a hemisphere away from yours! I have a jbl k140 15" at present that i rate highly. prob not very cork sniffery but im on a glue(flour and water,not bostik) diet with my gear these days

Good for bass.

i was going to build a 4x15 but i need to stop doing dumb shit,Now have a garage full of them that i cant seem to get rid of

most bass players i know rate 10's more.Probably a factor is most rehearsal spaces being on the small side so you get more percieved performance...

Do you still have the excelsior?
If so hook it up as an extension speaker, the original Fender speaker is rated at 50 watts.
I've got my original one in a cab that I sometimes hook up to my Rivera Clubster 45 & it certainly makes the amp sound bigger.

You're bored silly.

As an extension for the sky king my bet would be that it will dominate the combo speaker and you'll only hear the 15.

I have used a 15 for adding huge clean sound, but that's about it, and I went back to all 12s because the 15 obliterated anything I paired it with.

Probably a different story with 4x10 which I expect would not get lost.

Cheers for the replies. Conway might be closest to the mark... Can't stop tinkering, eh?

I just had a frustrating half hour or so with the amps. As good as attenuators are (and the Tone King ones are bloody good) it's always better without them. I so I wound them off and put the Sky King flat-out. Sounds glorious but so f'kin' loud... Especially the lead channel which I'm guessing has an extra preamp section.

Nothing for it. I'm just going to have to buy a lifestyle block. Talk about expensive upgrade...

Padded cell?

Acoustically padded, I mean, of course.

Lifestyle block - with or without padded cell and a black and white tv - is not unreasonable.

It's really essential. No matter how good an amp sounds at low volume, you know it'll sound better at high volume.

wait a minute...

your amp is too loud so you're considering a 15 and a 4x10 stack?

have you considered a single low efficiency 1x10 instead?

I think I've mentioned this before. In a small room, my amp with a 15 inch speaker didn't sound that great. In a bigger room it sounded wonderful. Is there something to do with room size with speakers?

Another thing with speaker size is the response time. 10 inch respond quicker that a 12 and a then a 15. Goodness knows what that means though!!!! ahhahahaha
