Just got my 2-15 B cabinet from Guitar Center. Weighted a ton (more than my 3-15's cabinet)and thought maybe I had found Jimmy Hoffa. Don't think G Center knew what they had. Got it for $125 and they only charged me $45 for freight which should have been closer to little over $100. Think they realized it too late but decided to try to recoup part of their loss........they took the casters off! No big deal since I had another set laying around for spares. Unfortunately its black but with few marginal tears in the T&R. Did the grille cloth on these units come with the silver threads in them? Looks like it had been redone and not fitted properly. Anyway, much to my surprise ......inside were two of the heaviest speakers I have ever seen and in absolutely MINT condition. Altec Lansing's! Plugged it into my K200 PA amp and almost wet my pants.............there is the sound that I have been looking for.

Question that I have now, I want to run 2 cabinets and only have one so far. To get this AWESOME sound do I need to find another cabinet with these same speakers in them? Also, is this cabinet rated at 200 watts RMS? Speakers only listed 8 ohms.

Final question: will these speakers sound even better when I get my K400-b stereo amp that I am wanting or will I get the same sound from the K400-b 4 that I already have?

My Kustom set is almost complete now.......another 2-15 cabinet and a 600 PA energizer and I'm ready to blow the roof off.
