Guitarzan5150 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just wondering. Anyone using the Helix with a 15" FRFR speaker, and does it work well? Is there too much bottom end that can't be effectively dialed out? I've searched quite a bit and can't really find anything on the subject. I know everyone recommends 10" or 12", but there's a sale right now where the 15" version of a speaker I'm looking at is actually cheaper than it's 10" brother. For guitar, should I stay away from the 15"? The Specific speaker is the Yorkville YX15p. I had read a recommendation, maybe here or somewhere else, that the Yorkville yx10p was a good choice for the Helix, but I haven't seen it on sale since.

zivdud Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I used to use my PA system which has two yorkville nx750s and there have15" speakers. They have a bass cut on the back which I used when I finally got my subs. It sounded great but I wanted a rig for living playing and now I just run it into my Firehawk 1500 and my DT50. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedulrich Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I use a 15" PA cabinet as my main (Alto TS215), but I also play synth and occasional bass guitar so I need the available low range. I can EQ it to the sound I want, balancing the main and compression drivers. That being said, I also have a pair of 10" two way wedges as my WDW outboards, but they were cheap and available so I couldn't say no. I ran just the 15" for a long time though.

jpdennis Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 There are times I need a FRFR in this one church I sometimes work with I use the Alto TS215 normally used for the PA I have. Seems to do well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
