It looks like an old Diesel, but not a Road Ready. IIRC, those were made in 400watt and 800watt configurations, and were 4ohms - but with older cabs, it's not uncommon for the drivers be get changed or reconed. I'd check the impedence with a multimeter - although resistance isn't the same as impedence, it's a safe bet that if the resistance is greater than 4 ohms it's probably an 8 ohm cab - 4 ohms or less resistance will be a 4 ohm cab.FWIW, those are really good cabs - and a rock standard for good reason.- georgestrings. Click to expand.The Mesa Cab sounds good and deep. By that i mean, there is a lot of sub and mid range. Maybe a little thin in the top range. But then again i do not slap and plug, so for a fat solid rock'n'roll sound i got everything i have dreamed about with that cab.The Hartke top is a working horse.
Solid and delivers every time. The eq is great for shaping your sound.
Mesa Boogie Bass Reflection 2x15' EV 800 Watt Cabinet built in the Flight Case. 1000 Watt Mesa Boogie Bass Cabinet 1x15 4x12, with tweeter in Road Case. This thing is LOUD. 1992 Mesa Boogie 'Diesel' Bass cabinet with 800 watt power capacity. I'm the original owner, I bought this when I was in a loud band that broke up after 6 months, and it has been used very rarely since then.
The pre-amp runs with either tube or transistor, or you can mix them. A lot of possibilities and totally good sound.It is more than value for the money.I would recommend it everytime (though i have not compared it with high end amps yet).
So I have a Mesa Boogie Roadready 2x15 cabinet that I love dearly. However, I have a tendency to blow the 400 watt EVM-15L speakers that come in these. They may be my favorite bass speaker ever soundwise, but I'm tired of blowing them up. Recently I swapped one of the blown EV's out for an Eminence Delta Pro 15A and have been running that combination happily for a short while.
Used Mesa Boogie 1x12 Cabinet
But that one EV still in there makes me nervous about high volume playing. Anyway, I stumbled on a used Eminence Kappalite 3015 today, and I'm thinking of replacing the EV with that, running in with the Delta Pro. Wondering how the 3015 and the 15L compare tonally and if it'll pair up well with the Delta Pro, if anyone here has any experience with that. What amp are you using?The 400 watt EVM-15L's aren't really 400 watts 'RMS' in real world applications. There is no difference other than an anti-scuff adhesive coating on the voice coil between the Series 2 (200 watts 'RMS') and the ProLine (400 watts 'RMS') Many manufacturers discovered that the 400 watt rating did not apply in the real world under MI conditions.The KappaLite 3015HO would be the closest driver to the voicing of the EVM-15L, and will handle 400 watts 'RMS' in real world applications. I believe there will need to be a small change in the porting to tune the cabinet better to the driver.
If you can provide the internal dimensions and porting information (number, size and depth) I can check my database to see if I have run that combination. I don't have it listed by cabinet model so I can't go backwards easily and I don't have a cabinet in my R&D lab to measure. It used to be called the KappaLite 3015HO, it has the EV style Ribbed curvilinear cone and is voiced much closer to the EV than the LF version.When using the HO version for bass, there's a derating factor that needs to be used. Of course, nobody in engineering would propose that this is a 900 watt driver, and upon reading the details it appears that the marketing guys won out when writing ad copy and used the PROGRAM power rating which is 2x the 'RMS' rating.My experience is that this driver can handle 350-400 watts RMS in a properly tuned cabinet, with a highpass filter set to the F6 point.
