Hello,

Thank you!

when did you get your last 186's if you got them in the last 5 years or so, they are the same as the new ones, the 2 denotes a new chassis, this has no effect on sound..... the specs inherited by pd from the original owners jbl were wrong....

Regarding the original question. If you are going to buy drivers for a horn I would look at something else than the new PD186.

and the edges on the magnet plates are rounded now on all mk2's..

i`m very interested too, but i think the very different spec`s are not a good sign..
