    Sounds more like you are looking for a sub...

    Kinda beating a dead horse here. The 515 is a great MID BASS.

    My suggestion? Sell the 515's.

    Get a pair of 3154.

    The 3154 can be purchased cheaper than the 515 you may come out ahead money wise, and will be a lot happier.

    You can improve the lows in a properly tuned box, but if you are looking for 150 down, the 3154 or even a single 8154 is king.

    Thanks, that was what I expected to see...
    Trouble is that sellers-marked for 515 is = 0 here (NORWAY), and I can get more 515-drivers "cheap". And to expensive (heavy) to ship.

    If you can get them cheap enough and have sufficient power available, then multiple drivers in an open baffle (OB) line array or in a small sealed cab EQ'd with a Linkwitz-Riley transform are the only alignments I know of to get any real LF out of these drivers in a relatively small bulk.

    I don't know what shipping would run to other parts of Europe, there may be a market in Germany or UK?

    FleaBay is good for that.

    Shipping from here (export) is more than $ 250 for 2x 515-drivers (by post-system. I admit that I did not check with other transporters, yet). This really ruins sale/export of a heavy item...
    I can get hold of a complete ok looking & working 816a (w/515-8G-HP) for less (each)!
    (Several, actually!)
    A friend tried to make a model-19 clone out of a pair of these 816, (with a "flat" front-plate, they have just a little more volume, that can be reduced by bracing), -but he admitted that he lost some of the "smack" & fun-factor of this bass-arrangement.

    Re: 515-8G HP ; how low?

    FWIW, my days of international transactions are over as a buyer, and i'll only sell internationally if international part of the shipment is done by an "agent" at their sole liability.

    It seems we now have a situation where "authorities" at the US border are opening parcels to inspect them, particularly incoming parcels.

    These "authorities" are under no obligation or liability to properly repack the parcels, they are not held accountable for their actions.

    Long story short, no shipping insurance provider that i'm aware of will award a claim for damages that have occurred as a result of improper packing.

    Beware folks, you risk the damage/loss of the goods in addition to being obligated to refund the buyer in full as Paypal almost universally sides with the buyer.
