From what I've read the Eminence EPS15C 15" speaker is a much lighter replacement for the Peavey 15" Black Widow 1501 speaker. I can't find any info on cabinet design - open or closed back. Here's a 2012 thread that asks the question but doesn't really answer it:

So is there any consensus that the cab design for the Eminence EPS 15C should be open back or closed back?
How about the Black Widow 1501 speaker? Closed or open?
Thanks!

| Both the Quilter Steelaire (slightly modified EPS-15C) and the Milkman amps (Telonics, but manufactured by Eminence and fairly close to the EPS) feature open back cabs. If you are considering building a cab or having a unit built, might I suggest installing a removable back panel which will then provide the option for either configuration. |

I'm using an open back (partially open) with my EPS-15C. I used the dimensions of a Peavey Nashville 112, except 1" taller that was needed to accommodate the 15" speaker.
The cabinet dimensions are not "scientific", just that I have a Danny Bentley hard cover for a Nashville 112 and I wanted to use it with the new speaker. The hard cover also acts as a speaker stand and I can set the speaker on top of the cover.
The speaker cabinet was a "quick and dirty" build as I was one of the field testers for Eminence and needed a speaker cabinet. But, it works well, for both E9th and C6th. |
