Hey guys, i recently picked up a set of kick bins that were found and came with 8 pairs of martin F1 located here in the states, and they seam to resemble a few different cabinets. cutout diameter is 15.

At a glance it looks like a USB but the measurements don't match up, assuming I'm understanding your measurements correctly. I don't think its any of the common kick bins, maybe something custom? It isn't any of these:

Its not an F215 copy either, its too tall.

With out knowing the exact horn dimensions its hard to know which exact driver would be best, there is a bit of guessing involved, but id imagine something like the PD.1550 would work okay.

It might work okay, im not really sure with out having the internal measurements to do a sim. Someone else might have a better idea.

First guess: megaton em15 doubled up, 99 % like turbosound bph 238 ;) 

They look self build to me and not original or brand made..
We need more SPL!

Make sure you measure up the available depth for whatever speaker you’ll be using.

Looks like someone tried to build a double 15" bph that just looked alot like usb. I think the baffle cutout is too close to the horn panel to fit a reverse firing woofer. Probably had been originally loaded with a front firing speaker like HD15 or TS 238bph.
