This is a great opportunity to own two Altec Lansing 515-8G HP woofers in need of recone. They are in excellent condition outside of needing to be reconed. The frames and magnets are in nice condition. There is some paint loss.
The rubber magnet guards are still in place. There are two bolts stuck on their T nut that I could not unscrew during removal. The 515-8GHP is the most efficient loudspeaker Altec has ever produced.
The horn-loaded design of the 515-G Series ensures that the 515-8G HP performs optimally in all vented horn enclosures. According to Altec Lansing, the Altec 515 G series is designed for unsurpassed performance when used in low frequency horn and vented horn enclosures. They are the highest performance low frequency drivers that Altec has ever produced. In-depth research into the properties of low frequency horns and vented horns has produced three drivers which are optimum for horn applications(515-8G, 515-16G, 5158G HP). When coupled with an appropriate horn, the 515-G Series loudspeakers provide the best possible combination of wide response, high efficiency, lowdistortion, and directivity control. The 515-G Series loudspeakers incorporate Altec's largest magnet structure, an edgewound aluminium flatwire voice coil, a light cone assembly, and a low distortion cloth suspension. The woofers have a free air resonance of 37Hz.They have an RMS of 200W. They are 15" woofers, but are considered 16" woofers simply because of the frame diameter. They weigh approximately 30 lbs apiece. The highest recommended crossover frequency for these is 2.5kHz.
They are great for enclosures such as the 816a, 817a, 8286, and 210/211 as well as many others. You get exactly what you see pictured. Also, please check out my other items in my store.
