Is that not the same simple variation that the older "LF" versions of a given series incorporated?

For model 2011, Bill had me send a mail to warn me of a supply problem on some parts to manufacture the 515.

Hi,
My project with the purchase of GPA 515 is to produce double boxes, now with the difference of look that might not be beautiful.
The first pair was purchased in early 2010, the second order was delivered late 2010 and early 2011 but has continued supply problems.

With 2 speakers per box the grey and black rims will clash. I like double boxes They are great for small PA and give you a lot of SPL.Best to put a permanent grill in front.
