Thats pretty cool - the dude at SS Edmonton thought there may be a used one when I called him way back in the beginning . Funny - was just through there for Easter because there wasnt enough snow in my life in South BC. What did you get it for? Took my new one out for a gig - love it - I see...

Well, based on all the pretty good reviews I have read here and elsewhere and seeing as there doesn't appear to be a Neo 212 anywhere in Canada except L & M Abbotsford (if its still even there) I took advantage of the 20% off offer by Musicians Friend and ordered it. Fairly close to border so...

No sweat on the rant - L and M have been good with a few things I have bought but they are far, far away. You can check stock on an item on their websites for each store which I did for the 212-2 - everyone except Abbotsford had no stock - I thought that was a mistake until I phoned a few and...

Interesting - based on numerous reviews and forum comments here and elsewhere, I have convinced myself (as we do with most gear) that I would like to have a listen to (and probably purchase) the GK Neo 212-2 which I would pair up with my 700RB 2 and biamp feature. Not sure how many Canadians use...

Ha! Thanks aged horse - lacquer thinner dissolved the goo off the bobbin and some business card thickness manila stock just fit in the air gap. Did a test run with speaker out of cab and no dust cap and its free and smooth. Next step - dust cap and glue - will try Weber as suggested. Did some...

Good info from all. Thanks - had polarity right. Bass mofo - you are correct - the outside back aluminum nameplate has a mesh glued on the underside to prevent screws and ping pong balls from going down the throat of the speaker and on the inside of the centre (seen after removing dust cap...

It took a bit but if you get a flat sharp blade started and proceed with patience it will come off with very few dings. Keep you posted on dust cap adventure

Thanks badass. I would agree on the durability of these - I will double check the polarity point - I believe I ran across that when building these a few years ago but will double check that I didn't screw up - no impedance switch that I can see on the 700RB-ll. That was why I floated the...

Haha - our son had an '84 Horizon back in the day - you are probably familiar with the song Horizon by the Arrogant Worms then - if not, you should be. Thanks agedhorse for the info - lotsa related reading off your info and forays into previous threads and Fdeck info. I wouldn't disagree those...

Also had seen the spec before b-string but unsure on the 200 watt sine and 400 watt program rating. Not quite sure on what applies to this application. Have seen a reference to "pink" rating as well.

Thanks for the replies. Getting mixed messages re power handling ability. Thinking they should handle the go as knobs don't make it to twelve o'clock. These actually hung in a small town arena as bass cabs and probably never saw much power a spa was small. They are like mint. Can't picture a 215...

Hi all New to forum but have gleaned lotsa info over the years. Good stuff. Came into 2 E140's a few years ago so I got dimensions etc for JBL Cabaret 4625 and built a couple cabs. Just took them to a gig for the first time (nothing crazy - community hall) paired with my G-K 700RB-ll. Near the...
