Chris Cole Designs sealed 15-6 bass guitar cabinet kit Chris Cole designs emphasize simplicity and performance. Utilizing off the shelf crossovers in simply designed, well braced cabinets, these kits give the beginning builder an easy start, or the experienced builder an excellent performing cab in a quick build.
Designer Notes and Video The sealed 15-6 bridges the gap between traditional bass cabs and modern mid loaded cabs. Most players are used to the feel and tone of traditional cabs but, would like more clarity and dispersion of upper mid and treble frequencies. Many have moved on to 2-way designs using high output woofers, fully crossed over to a midrange driver. But,some find this approach to sound too clean and, even sterile. The sealed 15-6 runs the woofer full range to get a little bass cab growl. The sealed design rolls off the deep lows gradually while adding just a little low mid bump for some fatness. The 6.5" mid is high passed where the woofer naturally rolls off to extend upper mids and treble, while greatly increasing off axis response. The sealed 15-6 was designed to be an easy build using common, off the shelf components, and to provide a pleasing tone with a flat amp.
