MESA/Boogie Subway 2x15 Vertical Bass Cabinet – Black Bronco w/ Metal Grille

Massive 2x15 bass authority without the massive weight. The MESA/Boogie Subway 2x15 Vertical combines two custom Subway neodymium 15" speakers, 800 watts RMS of power handling, tuned Tri-Porting™, an adjustable high-frequency horn, and a remarkably manageable 60-pound cabinet—all wrapped in classic Black Bronco with a rugged black metal grille.

The MESA/Boogie Subway 2x15 Vertical Bass Cabinet challenges almost everything players traditionally expect from a serious 2x15.

Big bass cabinets are supposed to be heavy.

A cabinet capable of producing this kind of depth, punch, projection, and stage authority certainly shouldn't weigh only 60 pounds.

Yet that's exactly what MESA accomplished with the Subway 2x15.

Two lightweight custom Subway neodymium 15" speakers combine with a tuned front-ported enclosure constructed from lightweight Italian poplar to deliver enormous bass performance without saddling the working musician with an old-school heavyweight cabinet.

Finished in Black Bronco with a black metal grille, this version has the unmistakable professional MESA appearance to match its performance.

Available from Northeast Music Center, the Subway 2x15 is for the bassist who wants a genuinely big rig—but doesn't believe owning one should require a second person to move it.

TWO 15" SUBWAY NEODYMIUM SPEAKERS

This needs to be immediately visible in the Northeast Music Center listing.

The Subway 2x15 is loaded with two MESA Subway neodymium 15" speakers.

Neodymium speaker technology is a major part of how MESA achieves the unusual combination of substantial output and manageable cabinet weight found throughout the Subway Ultra-Lite family.

And these aren't simply lightweight speakers placed into a box.

The speakers, enclosure, porting, horn, and cabinet dimensions are engineered as a complete system.

The result is the kind of full-bodied low end players expect from a serious 2x15, with the definition and accuracy needed for modern bass performance.

800 WATTS RMS — THIS CABINET IS BUILT TO WORK

The Subway 2x15 isn't merely large-sounding for a lightweight cabinet.

It's a legitimate 800-watt RMS professional bass enclosure.

MESA rates both its average thermal and mechanical power handling at 800 watts RMS, with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms.

That makes it an exceptional partner for powerful modern bass heads, including MESA's own Subway amplifier family.

For players who want a single-cabinet rig capable of handling substantial amplifier power, that's a major advantage.

One cabinet.

Two 15s.

800 watts.

4 ohms.

That's a serious foundation.

TRI-PORTING™ — BIG LOW END WITH CONTROL

The Subway 2x15 uses MESA's tuned front-ported Tri-Porting™ enclosure design.

Porting matters enormously in a bass cabinet.

Done correctly, it allows the enclosure and speakers to work together to extend and reinforce low-frequency performance while maintaining control and efficiency.

And because the ports fire forward, the cabinet's low-frequency behavior isn't dependent on being positioned against a particular wall.

Whether you're using it on stage, in rehearsal, or in a larger room, the cabinet is designed to deliver substantial low-frequency authority from a relatively compact footprint.

NOT JUST LOW END — THERE'S A HIGH-FREQUENCY HORN TOO

A serious modern bass cabinet needs to reproduce more than fundamental low frequencies.

The Subway 2x15 incorporates a high-frequency horn with a premium attenuator, allowing the player to tailor the amount of upper-frequency content coming from the cabinet.

Want greater attack and articulation?

Bring the horn forward.

Prefer a warmer, rounder, more traditional 15-inch bass character?

Reduce it.

That's particularly valuable for bassists moving between different instruments and techniques.

Fingerstyle.

Pick.

Slap.

Passive vintage basses.

Modern active instruments.

Five- and six-string basses.

The horn gives you another way to make the cabinet work with your sound.

100.4 dB SENSITIVITY — POWER IS ONLY PART OF THE STORY

Here's a specification sophisticated bass players will appreciate.

MESA rates the Subway 2x15 at an average sensitivity of 100.4 dB at 1 watt/1 meter from 50 Hz–1000 Hz, with maximum SPL specified at 129.5 dB at one meter.

That's important because wattage alone doesn't tell you how effectively a cabinet converts amplifier power into sound.

The Subway 2x15 is designed to be an efficient, high-output enclosure.

In practical terms:

It can get serious.

BIG 2x15 SOUND — 60 POUNDS

MESA's older Standard PowerHouse 2x15 weighed 123 lbs. The Subway Ultra-Lite 2x15 weighs 60 lbs.

That's a difference of 63 pounds.

And it demonstrates just how dramatically MESA's approach to bass cabinet design has evolved.

You can have the depth and physical authority that makes a 2x15 attractive without owning a cabinet that weighs more than many players do.

For gigging musicians, that's not a minor convenience.

It's a major feature.

LIGHTWEIGHT ITALIAN POPLAR CONSTRUCTION

Part of that weight reduction comes from the enclosure itself.

Rather than using the heavier Baltic birch associated with many traditional MESA cabinets, the Subway Ultra-Lite series uses lightweight Italian poplar.

The goal isn't simply making a lighter box.

It's achieving the strength, resonance characteristics, structural integrity, and portability required of a professional touring cabinet while dramatically reducing unnecessary mass.

That allows this 2x15 to weigh less than some conventional cabinets with considerably less speaker area.

BUILT-IN TILT & ROLL TRANSPORT

MESA didn't stop after getting the cabinet down to 60 pounds.

The Subway 2x15 also incorporates a built-in Tilt & Roll™ transport system with rear glide rails.

Tilt the cabinet back and roll it.

That's exactly the kind of feature that starts making sense after loading your gear in and out of venues week after week.

And when you reach the stage, you still have the imposing appearance and performance of a vertically configured 2x15.

THE ADVANTAGE OF THE VERTICAL FORMAT

There's another benefit to stacking the two 15" speakers vertically.

The cabinet occupies only 19¼ inches of floor width while standing 34⅜ inches tall.

That gives you serious speaker area without consuming an enormous amount of stage floor space.

It also raises the upper speaker and high-frequency section closer to the player's ears than a low horizontal enclosure would.

For crowded stages and rehearsal spaces, that's a practical advantage.

BLACK BRONCO + METAL GRILLE

Then there's the presentation.

Black Bronco vinyl.

Black metal grille.

Lexan corners.

The Subway 2x15 looks purposeful because it is purposeful.

The black metal grille gives this particular configuration a rugged, professional appearance while protecting the two large Subway speakers underneath.

It's unmistakably MESA without being visually excessive.

A SERIOUS ONE-CABINET BASS RIG

This is where I think the Subway 2x15 makes its strongest argument.

You don't necessarily need multiple cabinets to create a serious bass rig.

This one enclosure gives you:

Two 15" neodymium speakers.

800 watts RMS.

4-ohm impedance.

High-frequency horn.

Adjustable horn level.

Tri-Porting.

100.4 dB sensitivity.

129.5 dB maximum SPL.

And it does all of that at 60 pounds.

That's a remarkably compelling package for the working bassist.

Rock.

R&B.

Funk.

Country.

Modern pop.

Progressive music.

Five-string bass.

Traditional four-string.

The Subway 2x15 isn't designed around one narrow style of player. MESA specifically positions it as capable of handling everything from stripped-down rock groups to dense R&B ensembles, funk, and country.

BIG CABINET PERFORMANCE WITHOUT OLD-SCHOOL WEIGHT

That's ultimately the story we should tell at Northeast Music Center.

There are plenty of ways to build a lightweight bass rig.

What's considerably harder is building one that doesn't feel lightweight when you start playing.

The Subway 2x15 gives the bassist the depth, girth, punch, detail, and output associated with a serious large-format bass enclosure while keeping the actual cabinet at a remarkably manageable 60 pounds. MESA itself emphasizes that unusual combination of sonic scale and portability in describing this model.

For the bassist who wants a powerful single-cabinet solution, this may be one of the most impressive designs in the Subway family.

At Northeast Music Center, we think that's what makes this cabinet special.

It doesn't ask you to choose between big bass tone and portability.

It gives you both.

Two 15s. 800 watts. 4 ohms. Neodymium speakers. Adjustable horn. Tri-Porting. 60 pounds.

That's a serious MESA bass cabinet you can actually live with.
