Is there a good reason why? I don't see any one using them any more. Have heard good things about them.

They are in Showmans... It pushes a lot of sound... Certain speaker sizes really aren't important, way down on the list of important things. |

Lots of people use them, including myself. Like Jake said, they push a lot of sound. It is a very beefy tone. —THE KBK ... This is the last known signal. We offer Sanctuary. www.thekbk.com |

My 15" Weber California speakers have been outstanding in terms of delivering big, deep, and clear headroom, and never mushing out, even when pushed at outdoor gigs. |

I will use one or two 2x15 cabs for a larger show..and a 1x15" (Gomez G Reverb) for clubs..JBL d130-f's I understand those Webers are very good also |

I'm fond of describing the sound as "someone kicking you in the head with a velvet boot". |

I use them all the time. I have single and dual Showman amps with JBLs in them and it's the only amp I'll use out-doors. Nothing compares to the 15" JBL and the tone-ring, in my opinion. I favor the single with the tone ring over the dual, which is why my dual is for sale. There are also a few reissue Twins with a single 15 that sound really nice. Too bad they can't put a tone-ring on that! —Matt "tha Kat" Lentz |

15" speakers for everything. That's what I mostly play these days. Fat, swampy sound. MD |

Been using 2X15" JBL D-130's for years. But anywhere outside the surf community (and country/lap steel) they are not very popular for guitar. That's probably you won't see them in Norway very often — |

I have a 15" Jensen in my Fender Vibrasonic. It is great with the baritone guitar! Rev —Canadian Surf |

I use a TRRI in a piggyback cabinet with a single 15" Eminence Commonwealth. It sounds great for Surf. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

yeah,15"........I picked up a Traynor Bassmate 1-15 combo ( handwired ,el84s, all tube)for home use and smaller gigs...awesome.Really gets the bottom end-low mids when you palm mute....that velvet boot comment is about right. |

I tried a boogie with a ported cabinet, it was just a 12" EV but it had a very nice deep and firm bass for a 12". Dosent have the coolness of a 15". |

I bet MOJO or another company has a head box that the TRRI electronics would fit into...not sure if the reverb tank in the combo would fit into a head only configuration? |
