Eminence Kappalite 15" 3015LF performance to 1500hz?

[CZ Eddie]

Will my Eminence Kappalite 3015LF perform well up to 1500hz, or should I ditch it and get something else (another 15"er but less expensive) that will do the job better? It will be the lower end in a two way and crossed over at 1500hz. So it'll need to extend fairly low. And I do like my speakers a little on the bassy side.

I originally bought these kappalites to act as MBM's. But my plans have changed.

It's going to beam like mad if played that high.

What is it you're trying to build now. Is this going to be a guitar speaker?

Anyone know why I can't post my kappalite in the classified section of the board?

I guess I could go read the rules or something. But I'm so anti-rules that I'd have nightmares all night.
