    Models 2011:
    -black chassis
    -a piston terminal
    -decompression from the back

    Surely the vagaries of mass production or some form of standardization in relation to other models from this manufacturer.

    Hi,
    My project with the purchase of GPA 515 is to produce double boxes, now with the difference of look that might not be beautiful.
    The first pair was purchased in early 2010, the second order was delivered late 2010 and early 2011 but has continued supply problems.

    Upon reflection, I set up a simple box Onken 360.

    I bet .205" like a lot of guitar speakers??

    I didn't get "decompression" at first. It's a "vent" to me, lol.

    Would you be a friend of Jean Michel?

    This 515 is not used for guitar amplifier

    I do not know a Jean Michel and I know that your speaker is not for guitar.

    I was just saying that .205" spade terminals are very common on guitar speakers and was betting that the spades on your speakers are .205" also and not .250".
    Edit: ok, I guessed wrong.

    Nice speakers
