Got a JBL m115-8a

Hi everyone,
I just got a new JBL m115-8a, last week I had ordered them. They are right in front of me now. I did not get much time to get information or research on them before buying. What is yours general opinion on them. I use Peavey DTH SF2, so I will be mostly using them with Peavey DTH SF2 ( mid/tops xoverd @ 100hz). I will use my PV CS1200x to power the JBL's (900watt per side @ 4ohms). i like to listen rock bands, so I will put them at 200-300 capacity venues. So, I hope that the JBL m115-8a will work perfectly on them. Guys I need your opinion so that I can get the best quality of music to listen.

Hi
You mentioned that you will use the JBL with PV CS1200x to power it (900watt per side @ 4ohms). If you are using these, you have a good news. The CS1200x is 900 per channel @ 2ohms. 600 -650 at 4. Means you will get a clear music to listen. Did you bought the dual 15" bandpass box? If it is so, then should add a little thump to a 100-200 person room. I think you are pushing them with too much power. Adding 200-300 watts/box might only give you another db or 2. Hope my suggestion will help you. If you have any more problems or need any more information then do ask.

Hello
Even I had the same kind of speakers of JBL. They are really good speakers and the output is really nice, that is the quality of the sound. I had used them with two frames one of JBL M115-8 and the other of M115-8a per cabinet, both are almost identical frames. But the real factor lies in the back of the magnet, the pole pieces have a conical indentation in the center of the pole piece, they are 1.5" in diameter and .5" in depth, and has a 2.5" voice coil diameter. Use the speakers with two cabinets, you will get much good quality of sound. Just enjoy listing music.

Hi
The JBL speakers which you bought use 2 x JBL M115-8a drivers. If you want more information about the drivers you can visit the JBL official site, you will get the full information about the drivers. I think that the boxes are 4ohms each and the pv cs1200x will sent round 650watt at 4ohms, so this should be a bit closer. Bu they sound good to me. They will not disappoint you. If the venues are 300 person capacity, think that's a bigger room than many think. But you do need more support for rock. But for the normal music they are fine.
