The legendary SP 5 has been a mainstay enclosure for more than two decades. Peavey's engineering team has completely redesigned this new SP 5 making it lighter weight and more robust sounding than ever. This two-way full range enclosure will easily handle 800 Watts of program power and peaks up to 1600 Watts. Featuring a 15 in. Scorpion Plus woofer with field replaceable basket, the SP 5 delivers plenty of bone-crushing bottom end while the exclusive Quadratic Throat Waveguide technology dramatically reduces horn distortion offering a much clearer sound that aims sound directly at the audience, not over their heads. Constructed of birch ply with carpet covering, the SP 5 is ready for just about any road gig or permanent install.
