Hi,

If you have a single or a pair of 15" active subs and want to part company with them, please let me know.

I am urgently looking for a single or matching pair of active 15" subs, must be in good condition and you must be able to get them to me by this coming weekend as one of my weekend gigs warrants them.

If not I will have to source from internet, so if you know of anyone having a blow-out sale can you please let me know.

Thanks

Following on from here...

I know you chaps and lassies can spot a bargain.

What is the cheapest price on a DB Technologies 15" SUB out there.

Not the D version as this is way over budget.

Thanks

I have one of these in the lock up:

>>>Samson db1500a<<< (http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1887&brandID=2)

Used only a handful of times and in very good condition. I will deliver it to you tomorrow personally for £250 cash assuming you are not in the middle of nowhere.

Edited To Add:

Sorry, I didn't realise you wanted this for last weekend.

Try www.decks.co.uk they had some db sub-15 B-stock going for £429 not sure how many they have though.
Im selling 2x db sub-12's for £600 only 4 weeks old if interested. They did the large room at Park Inn northampton at the weekend ( the 600 cap one) with no problems.

B-stock all gone....

Do you do the New Year's Eve Gig there with Paddy?

Can I ask why you would want to sell your subs after just 4 weeks? Are they that bad? :eek: Not sure my PSR15A's would look a tad top heavy on these..

Nah they are very good but i was offered another sub-15 to match my other one and i decided (or rather my wife did) that we don't have room for 2 pairs of subs.
They are incredibly loud for a 12" and easily match a 15".
As for the Park Inn, no I do a fair few there over the year as its so near me I was there on Saturday for a wedding using the sub-12's with matching opera 402's. It sounded great but as I said I now have 2 sub-15s and space is getting a bit cramped.

Yeah, I thought that too, but he's minted apparently and apparently gigged these in a small band for 10 times and then wanted even more bass power and went out and brought a pair of Mackie subs, probably SWA1801's at over a grand a piece!

He's going to send pictures so hopefully would be able to spot any issues. If I do go ahead I would pay 75% up front and 25% balance on delivery.

I know your kit is ok, but the budget is tight and my mrs is standing behind me with a hammer! :Naughty:

Lol but remember im just up the road and you can always have a listen first. Or I can deliver northants for free anyway if you decide not to go for them 15's. But if they are in good condition those sub 15's are a bargain.

Oooh forgot to mention my subs have the plastic corners and extrusions already fitted to protect them.

So forgive my ignorance Matthew, but are you saying that two DB12's are equal to one DB15, or are two DB12's more?

Confused>?

can you tell me what a DB 12 measures in CM?

I would NEVER buy a secondhand speaker or amp unless I have given it a good thumping OR its someone on here that I know.

If theres anything wrong its the old story--it was alright when we tried it---YOU MUST HAVE BLOWN IT.

No refund.

Sorry to be negative--

Hard to tell on my mobile but that chip-crack looks nasty. Maybe a closer look wouldbe in order?

Just got back and had a better look on my computer rather than the tiny 2 inch screen on my mobile. The crack does look pretty bad these are covered in a pretty tough resin paint that is pretty durable for a crack like that I would expect either it dropped or something dropped on it from a height. Mind you doesnt mean they will work less hard. A little lick of paint and some sanding may be enough to restore them depends how deep that is.

It's as light as feather...assuming it's a 1/2 ton feather... :eek:

It is fairly heavy (but it is a wooden box rather than a plastic cab), but it does come with wheels so the only really tricky bit is getting it in and out of the vehicle if you work alone.

I bought it to complement my 12" Active tops I had at the time and it was ideal because I could adjust the cut by running into the sub and then up to each cab.

I have only used it 6 times and I am flexible on the price if someone wants to share the travel.

OK it isn't Martin Audio quality by a long chalk but it does add a bit of bottom end where needed... ;)

I work alone :eek: but can you confirm weight in kilos approx or good old english lbs?

Thanks, I couldnt spot it on the spec anywhere--hence reason for asking
