    I've used three sizes in this series -- 12" - Part# 55-2952, 15" - Part# 55-2953 and 18" - Part #55-2954 and have had great results with all. Build quality is great, sound is at least as good as the original, and price is ridiculously low. For rebuilding, repairing old equipment for resale, these cannot be beat. I even resell these as replacements in my shop, my customers love them.

    A while back, I used these as the woofers in 1x12 floor monitors, and in relatively small, sealed boxes, they were gems! Surprising bass extension, smooth, musical midrange, and were very sensitive, as my modest 210 watt amplifier powered them to painful SPLs. Like much of MCM's new series' of woofers, these are excellent value for money, you really would struggle to find a deal like this from anywhere else. These would be ideal for replacements in mid-level PA gear, bass cabinets, or custom PA projects like mine! Buy 'em, try 'em!

    I bought 4 of these for a PA project. These are probably the best value in a 12" music instrument speaker around. One thing to note is that these only go to 2500 and have a pretty flat midrange sound---as opposed to the more honky mids you may get out of eminence or other more expensive brands. Perhaps they were designed for a 3 way system or maybe bass guitar, or low / low mid speaker. Thats the reason I rated them in the middle as far as features / quality. That being noted I am still using them in a 2 way box with an eminence ads1001 HF driver and waveguide with good results. I installed an L pad on the eminence to cut it back around 6 to10db to match the woofer and crossed over at 2500. Best low cost system I have built and it can take alot of power. I heard these were made by Cadence but can't be sure.

  • "A Great Surprise!" by kfc333 on 10/20/2010

    I bought two of these speakers as replacements in a relatively small 2x12 bass guitar cab. The cabinet was original sealed, so I did all the necessary calculations for a ported enclosure and now have a ported cab that matches the characteristics of these speakers. Once installed and tested, I was absolutely amazed at their performance! These things kick butt. They aren't as efficient as I would have liked, but they can take the power and deliver fantastic bass. I'm a 5-string bass player and these speakers handle it all. Then considering that I paid about $45 for the two of them, I just can't get over the great deal I got and without compromise. Highly recommended. Wow.
