    Vintage JR149 speakers need fixed/new Stereo Receiver

    Great equipment from the 70's Receiver is a Yamaha CR-2020 this retailed for $750 new and now goes for 2-400. http://www.classicaudio.com/value/yam/CR2020.html However it has a short and pops the left speaker's circuit breaker. Any ideas what I could look into perhaps something I...

    FS: "Modified" Audiosource SW-15 Subwoofer

    I recently modified my SW-15 as well. The new driver really helps, sounds very very tight (if needed), while the old driver (even with polyfil) sounded muddy and muffled to me at all times. If you are interested at all in home theater I would suggest re-porting the enclosure. I placed a...

    Yes Andy is correct, I have shipped the driver to him. I responded to AdamWood's email, did not realize the thread had been bumped as well. Ok then, officially SOLD.

    FS: 15" Driver from SW-15 :: $35 SHIPPED

    Sorry for the late response, finals week :angry: The driver has no problems I'm aware of, it would make for a good budget subwoofer. It can take a pounding. I am going home for my winter (school) break and won't be with the driver but can pick it up along with the rest of my things in a...

    FS: 15" Driver from SW-15 :: $35 SHIPPED

    Frank, unfortunately I was unable to find any specifications of this driver. Only that it can handle at least 200 watts, is 15", 4 ohms, and has pretty standard excursion. There were several numbers stamped, inked, and stuck onto the magnet and cone, however they yielded nothing through...

    This is what Wayne Ernst of Northern Virginia, USA has to say about this driver. I couldn't have said it better myself.

    Dayton BR-1 DIY kit

    I have the opportunity to build one of these kits through my university for $60. I am wondering how they compare to my current speakers, JBL S26. Also, how they would sound paired with the S26's, for when I have an actual home theater (not just a school apt room). Are the timbres enough...

    AV15 weight question.

    Weird, UPS said mine was 23lbs. Definately heavier than that. On the other hand, they said my Parts Express ~10lb box was 30lbs.

    Adding bracing for my sealed/ported SW-15 cabinet , +Questions, +Lotsa pic Updates

    PORTED :D http://www.KU74.net/sub/Ported010.JPG http://www.KU74.net/sub/Ported006.JPG Low end response is a -lot- better, and I think having the port on the top fills the room better. Less of a dead zone @ listening position. I used around 1.5lbs/ft^3 density of polyfil, based on my...

    Adding bracing for my sealed/ported SW-15 cabinet , +Questions, +Lotsa pic Updates

    What about the bracing? Would 1.25" dowels be about the same as 1.5" legs? Dowels would take up 4.1L while the legs occupy 7.6L, a difference of 3.4L. I guess that is negligible, and I should just go with the 1.5" legs. How does the bracing look? I will just try that out as well, but...

    This number of pictures might constitute as a separate thread possibly in a different forum, but this is more an update + DIY question thread. First I installed the AV15. It was only after using 10-32 Hurricane nuts that the driver was fully sealed (using speaker caulk). Note :: The person...

    Which 15" driver for a 4cubic foot ported box?

    Yes, leave car audio in the car. Impressive 95dBA sensitivity, that's about it though. I suggest the AV15 in your box. I have an old 3ft^3 box i'm putting an AV15 in, I will be deciding whether to go sealed or ported soon, although from WinISD ported would be a -lot- better, curious...

    My sub is talking through the vent

    How many watts are driving the sub? Just curious b/c I'm trying to get a figure for what velocities in WinISD are experiencing chuffing. My AV15 + 4" flared port arrive in 2 days :)

    Audiosource SW-15 Cabinet with Tempest + 250W Amp

    I looked at the Linkwitz Transformers, and although it would be the easiest solution, I am not satisfied with the loss in SPL required to achieve a linear plot (remember i'm still in college) I do get some nice cone excursion near Xmax however, but that could also end up limiting me if the...

    You're right, my brain is near its end here. I read a little about those Linkwitz, lol I would be pretty slick having one. I'll be back in like, another 3hrs after I read a billion more threads here. :p)

    Audiosource SW-15 Cabinet with Tempest + 250W Amp

    Thanks Jack :) Well I thought everything was ready to be ordered, but I realized there is a problem. The Precision Ports, being flared, require a mounting diameter which is much too large for my enclosure. As you can see, I have a little over 3" to work with. Not 6.25" which the...

    Audiosource SW-15 Cabinet with Tempest + 250W Amp

    Very good points. Yes I agree. My box, compared to enclosures this community builds, is pretty much a toy. I will do the best for it that I can now, but (as stated) plan on building a new one next summer, when I have the time and the resources. I just spent a -LOT- of time deciding between...
