Quick story... About a year ago my dad, knowing I was into audio called me from a garage sale. "Hey, I see some speakers here, the brand is EV and the guy selling them says they sound real good, $20 and they are yours. They have two big woofers and a tweeter." hum.... sounds good. A few weeks later he is over and says he has the speakers with him. I'm excited with anticipation and when he opens the truck I tried not to laugh to insult him. I see to little ugly speakers with silicone surrounds. Crap. They are called Interface 2's. Robust 8"woofer, paper cone tweeter and a 10" passive radiator. I stuff them in the closet expecting to some day throw them out. Well yesterday I was cleaning out said closet and looked at these. I thought what the hell, I'll refoam them and toss in some dome tweeters I have laying around. Boy I'm I glad I did. These things surprisingly sound GREAT. Very clean and well balanced. I really like them and I have lots of nice speakers so I know what good speakers sound like. They don't go super low but that 8" driver is very good and really full range. With the passive extending it and the tweeter which sounds great in there adds nice top end these things really sound nice. Totally unexpected. Very detailed and good with vocals. Other than filing out the tweeter hole a little for the large magnets the tweeters fit perfect and look stock. Blend very well and are balanced. I could not be happier with the end result. Sometimes you just luck out. I think I am liking these better than my very similar Genesis II's.
scary silicone surrounds...
They had put some material and then siliconed it. Inventive and impossible to remove without ruining the cone. I had had to leave some of the silicone on the passive.
Woofer refoamed
Big magnet, robust driver
One done and the drivers for the other one...
All done
