So, I bought 4 and they should be arriving soon. I decided not cancel my accidental second order of 2. How often do ya get a deal like this.

Anyway, I'll have 4 15" M252-8B2's. Now I just have to find something to do with them. Freddy, how do you think one would fair in a Karlson?

These don't look like they are tuned that low...

One with one of those motorolla twin bullet piezo might make a killer guitar cab?

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

I recieved the first two... dang heavy.

Very slick looking. Curved cone, no ribs. Cast frame is pretty cool, funny, the texture and paint makes it feel like plastic. Terminals are spring, though really hard springs.

Just sitting in their shipping boxes, these things sound great! and real efficient too. I think I'm gonna like these. When I get them 4Pis built I'll swap the delta 15's to see how these sound.

Wow! really good highs, I don't know what response is like on these, but it sounds like it goes way up(voices don't sound muddy at all, even off axis)... may be even useable to 3 or 4k?

I'll keep ya posted if I do anything with them.

Model number is M252-8 $108.25 = qty. 2 (8.25% CA sales tx).
Each comes with a glued foam rubber gasket on front and a paper gasket for the back I guess.

doh, the frame IS plastic.. that would explain why it felt like it.

Also, one of the two I recieved has a problem. I think it will be fine, but when you look horizontally, the cone (where it is attached to the surround) isn't flat, its kinda wavy and goes +- 3 mm up and down as you turn the driver.

The box has large 1" blue numbers that say 11/95. I guess B-Stock means they just sat in a warehouse?

I bought a pair about 5 weeks ago and mine definitely are not plastic frame. Your description of the cone sounds right though. Do yours have a bumped back plate with a large screened vent and 3" voice coil?

Hey Danny - if your M252 goes up nice and high - give the old Karlson a try - think you'll have fun - and it'll look cool-retro

Freddy

correction Frame IS metal.. coated with plastic. Doh [message #35717 is a reply to message #35713] Wed, 27 March 2002 21:54 Go to previous message

They don't have a screen.
The vent in the back is about 1 inch.
The bump in the back is about 3.5" across and is raised about 3/8".
If I stick my finger down in the vent, there is some foam about 2.5" down.

ok, I attacked one with a knife, The Frame is Metal, but it is coated in a thin layer of black textured plastic(ABS?). I guess this is to cut down on resonance, cause it sounds like plastic when you tap it.
