Made 11/2001. Being a 1x15" it does what it is made for. But like promised by the company it matches up great to my 4x10" from them. It sounds great hooked into my biamp'ed system. This speaker enclosure holds my Hartke mdl 5000 heads output VERY well.

Sound Quality : 10
No distortion on my clean settings very crisp low end sound. The cab is vented very well and the size of the cab allows the 15" to do what it needs to do (Move air and put low end to the floor). I run a Conklin bass into a Tech21 RB-1(overdrive unit) then into a Hartke 5000 head then to my 4x10" then into my 1x15"

Reliability : 10
Just like my Avatar 4x10" this thing is made to with stand Nuclear fallout. Maybe not that but it could hold up pretty well. Being made with 3/4" plywood I figured it would be pretty heavy but it's surprisingly light weight. I depend on this cab to bring the chest thump to the stage with me which it does !

I wish every company was as customer concerned as Dave at Avatar is. I asked him for a new grille for my old cab to match my new 1x15" and Dave happily included one for me. Dave also helped me to find replacement parts for other items I own.

Overall Rating : 10
In my 10 years of playing bass and getting burnt on big names with poor quality I'm really happy to find a company which took the time to listen to me and what I wanted then he made suggestions to me. Dave is putting together VERY well made cabs and putting great speakers (Which everybody else uses) in them for about half the price of other big names. Avatar is great value on great products. I just wish Dave had bumper stickers so I could put them on my bass case!

15 inch eminence bass cab with 2.5 inch vented voice coil... i think you can find the features yourself @ www.avatarspeakers.com . Go to the bass/guitar cabinet section. No tweeter, so I give it a 9.

Sound Quality : 10
Great for anything. Great speaker. I play mostly metal, but I am also able to get a jazzy sound out of it if I so desire. Handles 300 watts (for real) without any problems.

Reliability : 10
It's built with plywood, which is solid as a rock and has the carpeting on the outside. Steel grille protects the speaker. I can't imagine it breaking on anything short of a fall from high up or a sledgehammer hitting it.

Customer Support : 10
Originally I was sent a different speaker by Avater, and it must have been dropped from some rediculous height. The Speaker was sent back and I got a new one at the manufactureres expense and all that was wasted was my time... GREAT people to deal with... a real person picks up the phone... and TALKS TO YOU!!!

Overall Rating : 10
I haven't been playing bass that long, but I know what a good sound is with my 15 years of musical experience. I don't think anything can beat what I got, especially at the price. You get awesome, professional speakers, at an entry level price. Once again, professional quality, NOT entry level.
