General Questions
:
No Opinion
The B215 is a compact dual 15" trapezoid subwoofer. It is relatively small for such a cabinet being about as broad as a 4X12 cabinet with roughly 2X the depth. They are heavy for their size being 105 lbs... which is still manageable.
Technical Specs

Different sites show different specs. The MTS (home) site rates these speakers at 600-2400 watts @4 ohms. I use a QSC RMX 1850HD which delivers 600 watts into them. You would think it was a little light for these subs, but it works great. Rumor has it that these are loaded with Eminence Delta LF drivers which are known as a reliable speaker. I cross them over between 95 and 100 HZ with a little bit of a boost and that works best for me. I also apply the 40HZ filter on my crossover. They are 1/4 inch input only. They are covered in ratfur and like I stated above, are relatively small for a dual driver sub but are still heavy for their size. The handles are metal and plastic but are certainly better than the plastic "dips" found on the PR1512 (another Bullfrog enclosure). They have no pole mounts. They have your standard metal grille found on most modern enclosures. Made in the USA.

These are very punchy subs. Surprisinly "potent" for their size and price. They will hit you hard in a small club with a little room left over. All they need is a little crossover boost and they are set to go. They also hit hard considering that I am only putting 600 watts into each one. People are always very surprised and pleased with their performance. I am very proud of these subs.

Hmmmmm... these questions are always so alike. I mentioned everything about the construction above. Extra note: I carry these up and down three flights of stairs. No they do not have casters -thank goodness for dollys. It is an unusual design, but it works! They are killer for their size.

I was suggested these by a fellow Harmony-Central forumite. I was saved from the temptation of purchasing serious garbage. These were on a closeout sale so they were a steal, but it looks like they are coming back again. They are featured on the MTS site:

This page went away for several months, but is now back -thats why I assume they are being made again.
I might get them again if they were lost or stolen... I would certainly recommend them. I am really curious about the Sonic line though, considering they are also very good for a low amount of money.(I have their floor monitors) I wish it had speakon connectors but it isnt that huge of a deal, and a pole mount would be nice, but not neccesary if it interferes with the acoustics of the box. Actually I wish it were a little lighter, but I'll live. I guess what matters most is it sounds great!
