This is a large, powerful subwoofer: 40" wide x 22" deep x 29.25" high. The amplifier/controller is labeled: DBX Split Spectrum - MPA 150. Comes with approximately 20 feet of Apature Accuflo heavy gauge speaker wire. That's a cell phone standing on top (not included) as a size reference. Cash only please. http://images.craigslist.org/01010101160301040920080517ed97ccc2ef0a9cd8ff00be0a .jpg http://images.craigslist.org/01041001030201160420080517ec25eb95dedc152fa900d786 .jpg http://images.craigslist.org/010110011600010404200805176760b96eea357a5f0e00c25a .jpg

I have a spare 2245 woofer that only needs foam if it works out :)

Thanks

Very Cool!! Yours has the amp and special ultraBASS cable, plus, buying from Sterling saves you a long drive north for the other one!

It looks like this unit that Dave on ebay has for sale up in Binghampton, NY ... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230252184036

no stopping now right,

after all stereo bass is better than mono...

:)

and how often can you find two matching vintage units within a day or two of one another

(just kidding)

Made it home , no issues w/travel. My friend and main lifter said lets go strait upstairs with it so no direct comparing the 2. I need to make room for it. It will replace a lower end Velodyne in the 2.1 set up using the Sansui receiver and Dahlquist DQ-10.

...I can find specs on this particular dbx unit?

Yes, I know it's not a JBL piece, but I figgered for beer money the sub and MPA-150 amp were worth taking a flyer on.....
