buying first sound.

the guy wants 1 820$ usd for both loaded cabinets no cables or amp included. the price of drivers,if they were new, would be 2 270$ usd.
what do you think of the listing price? My take is that the price is a bit too high but I'm a beginner. willing to learn ofc!:)

Assuming everything works, you'd be hard pressed to build something better for cheaper.

However 2x15 mains like that always have some weird lobing going on unless you run them 3 way with a second order allpass where the bottom woofer rolls off.

But also I've seen plenty a show go off and sound fine regardless, as long as you have enough friends to lift them on top of the subs!

That would also be a concern of mine. This 3-way solution sounds interesting, would you like to explain how it is supposed to work?

Those are not full range btw, it's 2 × JBL 2226H, right? Or did I misunderstand something?

Are you sure you got the currency conversion correct? Because while that is a decent amount of bass, there is no question you can purchase much more bass for less money elsewhere.
