I came across an active sub the other day which I need help to identify.
The badge on the front is black with a large gold letter L, looks similar to the Lexus car badge.
The only markings I could find on it were B115-P ACTIVE BASS BIN, have tried a google search but couldnt fnd any matches
Any ideas on who makes it as I would like to find the specs.

Hi James,
It looks like Warrior, as the logo looks exactly like the one on the front of my old Warrior L300 speakers.
To see what I mean, there is a pic of one here: http://www.electromania.be/images/L-300.jpg
Hope this helps.

Its not a Laney is it?

No Matthew, Laney have AFAIK always shown their name in full on the front of their cabs.
I think Rob has solved the mystery.

It looks like its a warrior are they any good as I just took a gamble on ebay and got it for £100.
Am planning to use it with a couple of Behringer Eurolive B212a active tops for really small gigs as my my main speakers are rather on the large size as Matthew will agree.

James,
I have no specific experience of their active subs, but there's nothing wrong with Warrior speakers.
I used a pair of their L300 full range speakers (300 watts with a 12" driver) for many years, and I know Penmare used the L400 version, which I think used 15" drivers & had a 400 watt rating.
Hope this helps.

Yeah James the peavey system was a bit on the large size, lol unless playing at wembley anyway :)
Sounded nice though but those bins were not to be carried by one person unless for the worlds strongest man competition.

You're unlikely to find any tour taking Peavey into the Arena or the Stadium.
The house system at the Stadium is EAW boxes with Crown amplification, for some unknown reason the processing is Peavey MediaMatrix as opposed to BSS Soundweb, which would have been the logical match to the racks.

I am definetely not getting rid of the Peavey UL 215s and 215xt subs, I'm taking them to my grave, just wanted something smaller for upstairs gigs and to use as monitors at large gigs.

The L design is the logo my speakers carry. They are labelled as ProLight E115s (sounds similar to your B115s) and cost me £350 the pair new several years ago and they're still going strong. Now there is a company called ProLight Concepts but I'm not sure if it's one and the same.
With 15" bass speakers on them, they put out a fair sound. I've not seen much of them in this country but they are on t'internet in other countries.

Just found a linky to the ProLight L400 so you compare the badge:
http://www.ukdj.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=9136
Just short of £200 a speaker! And not active, either!
Oh, and I can't vouch for them being rugged and reliable (as it says in the blurb!)

I have paid just short of £200 just for a driver.

£199 for the taxi and £1 for the speaker.
Corr, its not a competition on how much you can spend on a speakers, or in your case Nigel, just one. lol
For the price, the L400 don't seem to bad at all. :)

It wasnt even a speaker, it was a driver for a speaker box.
I think it was £180 ish for a Fane Collossus 600WRMS 18 inch driver.
Might as well just call it a transducer then. lol

I'm thinking of getting a pair of L400s at that price. The E115s that I have are a similar build (well, practically identical, actually!) but only rated at 300w and my powered mixer can handle up to 500w speakers so I might just go for the upgrade.

It can get confusing at times coz a loudspeaker is just the driver.
Some people refer to the actual enclosure and loudspeaker as a loudspeaker.

Yep exactly the same badge. It arrived today must say its not bad for a little unit. Ideal for the small gigs I wanted it for to back up a pair of Behringer Eurolive B212A active tops I picked up for £150 so altogether got a nice small active setup for £250 so cant grumble.

& some people couldn't give a toss what it's called as long as it makes the right noise.

I tried some of those exact speakers out 10 years ago, quite a nice sound just not loud enough, ended up blowing a horn. A few mates bought a couple of pairs and chucked some EV badges on them!!

Funny you should say that.
The only problem I've had with the E115s is four years ago, on NYE, I managed to blow a top horn whilst sound-checking. I've always put it down to the fact that it was very cold and I hadn't given them time to warm up before plugging them in.
Anyway, my sparky guy (who seems to have diversified in to audio/light kit now!) put a new driver in (cost me a whopping £38 for the repair!) and I've had no problems since.
As for them not being loud enough, I've not had any problems with them filling the venues that I work. If anything, for them being rated at 300W, I can get more out of them without the sound distorting than other speakers that I've used in the past.
James - were they made by Prolight? I've checked mine and they do actually say "Prolight Concepts" so my earlier post about being different companies turns out that they are one and the same! I'm not sure if Prolight actually builds the units or just sticks their badges on.

To be honest I am not sure I cant find any info on the web about them. Some say warrior others say prolight.
Totally baffled now.

Mine have an info plate on the back which gives the wattage in to ohms ratings and the model name, serial number, etc. That's how I know they are Prolight.
I was under the understanding that Warrior were W-Audio and their logo is the wobbly W design. And the older badges just said "Warrior" on the name plate.
These are Warrior/W-Audio products:

I'll try and get some pics of my speakers front and back and you can compare the logos/info plates and see if they look familiar. ;)
