Yes,the horns are Matamp 2inch radials,but in your case fitted with a 2inch to 1 inch adapter bolted on.
This is what they look like normally....bottom of page.

@ Ken,yes i think so,Matamp would have bought them in,these have the 3 vanes in the throats.
By the way,those JBL 15's you have there aren't from the professional series,those are m151-8's,they were fitted to some of their cheaper range in the early 1990's. 3 inch voice coils.

it wasent a police one just a local auction they some time have a few police items i had a bike years ago that was a nicked bike that had never found its home so they put it in there and i got it for £2.50 :D
i think the speakers where from a club they have all the hangers on them and they haven't got any wheels
last week they had a load of bins and amps and the week b4 there was a massive projector and all the monitor speakers i think it was all the same guy selling it all its
i always pop down to see whats there it is every Friday but last few weeks there been loads of speakers and amps but normally just shit down then broken tv's and antiques and cars tools ect

nah, Live in Luton, wanted to do some things in Bedford but then the venue lost their license! promoter has approached us with an idea though for an event in Bedford so may well be doing something in the near future. What about you? what kind of things do you do, or are interested in?

Well, even though there are no 14'' RCFs in your cabs, they did actually produce some strange speaker which was definitely too small to be a 15'', and too big to be a 12''. Contacted some people who told me they used to do a one off 14'' woofer. Never found the model number or specs for it though.

NOT always from sound systems.
Can be from vacated squat or immoral earnings. This could mean drugs, or equally the distribution of peodo stuff. Maybe even forced prostitution?
One thing for sure, anything from that sort of aucion needs taking apart and checking inside.
Nice find.

So. The cops confiscate your gear, stick it in auction so someone else gets a cheap rig putting more rigs out there for them to confiscate and sell cheap, so increasing the circle!  Cool!
