Detail 01
Single 15-inch speaker
One large cone moves air low and warm. Fatter fundamental than a 4x10, less midrange cut and articulation.

AmpegPF-115HE Portaflex 1x15 Bass Speaker Cabinet
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ampeg's 45 lb 1x15 bass cabinet. A single-speaker rig for players who want low-end weight and a portable footprint over a full stack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Club and rehearsal gigs where a 4x10 is more cab than you need
- Players chasing thick lows over aggressive top-end bite
- One-trip load-ins — 45 lb is a solo carry
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Loud stages needing maximum air movement from one cabinet
- Players who want cutting midrange snap from a 10-inch array
- Anyone without a head — this is a cabinet only
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
44Hz low-end response
Covers a 4-string's low E with room to spare. A low B on a 5-string will thin out.
Detail 03
17kHz top end
Extended treble for slap and pick attack, so the cab isn't purely dark despite the 15.
Detail 04
99dB SPL sensitivity @ 1w/1m
Efficient. It gets loud without demanding a huge amp, so a modest head drives it fine.
Detail 05
45 lb weight
Light for a 1x15. One person can carry it up stairs without a second trip or a dolly.
Detail 06
21 x 23 x 14 inches
Shallow depth and a compact face. Fits a car trunk and a tight stage corner.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cabinet only — no amplifier head, and no speaker cable included
- 02Check your head's minimum impedance before pairing it
- 03A 5-string's low B won't reproduce fully below 44Hz
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with an amp head?
No. This is a speaker cabinet only. You'll need a separate bass head and a speaker cable to run it.
02Is a 1x15 enough for gigs?
For clubs and rehearsals, generally yes — 99dB sensitivity means it's efficient and gets loud on modest power. Large loud stages may want more cabinet.
03Will it handle a 5-string bass?
It'll play one, but response starts at 44Hz, so the low B's fundamental won't come through fully. You'll hear the harmonics instead.
04How does a 15 compare to a 4x10?
The 15 gives you more low-end warmth and weight; a 4x10 gives more midrange punch and articulation. This one also weighs 45 lb, far less than a typical 4x10.
