    Peavey 115 PA as bass cabinet?

    Could this PA speaker be used as a bass cab? I've heard good things about black widows but don't know much about speakers.

    Issues with a 215 Cab w/Black Widows

    So when I picked up a new to me amp last year. This cab got thrown in gratis. It's looks to be a homemade 215 with a pair of not-the-same Black Widows and a few issues. I was hearing distortion and the volume wasn't what I expected it to be either. About the same as my silver stripe Peavey...

    Peavey 215D-BW vs buying Black Widow Speakers

    I have a regular Peavey 215 (non black widow version) and I absolutely love the cab. Unfortunately when I push it with distortion and what not, it can't handle it. So should I change out the speakers for Black Widows? OR Find a BW 215? Or the Deep version? I'm worried the construction of my...

    Peavey 215 vs 3620

    I have a 215, absolutely love it. But I need something that can handle more wattage. A guy has a 3620 (two 18" with two 10") and it's rated at 600watts. Which would be perfect. He's selling it for $135. The weight/size of my 215 fits perfectly in my car. I don't mind it at all, but the thought...

    This guy is selling two 15" Black Widows for $40. But he said they need to be reconed or have the baskets replaced. I'm not entirely sure what that means but I know you can buy kits to fix that. Is this a good deal? Am I saving money if I bought these and got them fixed? Or should I just buy new...

    Peavey PVH212 vs Peavey Model-215

    I have a Peavey Model 215 (not the black widow version) and the speakers are on their way out. I'm either thinking of upgrading the speakers, or getting the Peavey PVH212 instead. I'm not a fan of 10" speakers and I LOVE my 15's. Only thing it lacks is clarity on the high end. That's where I'm...

    Black Widow upgrade

    Have an older Peavey 118 cab with Black Widow speaker. It performs okay, but am considering upgrading to a new and improved speaker. Of course there's a budget, somewhere in the low-mid 200$ range. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
