I wouldn't go as far as to use 15"s exclusively in the cab, but I was considering maybe 3x12" & 1x15". Sounds like a crazy design. I'd like to go balls-out and hook it up with a rotary speaker at the bottom as well just as an option, but I don't have that kind of money, I'm sure. I'll be making at least 2 cabs because I'm the only guitarist in the band and I want to spread it full onstage.
15"s are gonna do nothing to improve your tone. Your low end is just gonna' bag out. I'd suggest a really good parametric EQ and a quality compressor. As for the rotaries. It's a hot idea but if your trying to actually get a legit cab stand in line behind the B3 players that want/need them. There's a company that makes a rack sized rotary that sounds really nice, can't remember who it is though.
