dahlquist dq 10

  1. D

    Hi and please guide me with DQ-10s

    Landed the not mirrored pair of the DQ-10s Serial 11437 / 11438 First of all they were free But there needs to be work done, From the previous discussions here on the forum I’d assume that 11k serial should already have the 10 inch installed, however I have the 12s? Looks like a reverse one as...

    Question about recap kit for Dahlquist Dq 10

    Hello all. I just picked up an early set of Dahlquist Dq 10s from an estate sale. They were made before the mirror imaged versions and have the blue/gray bi polar caps on the crossover. I hooked them up to a Yamaha amp that I had sitting around that is rated at 95 wpc, and I was blown away! I've...

    Replacing capacitors - trying to get correct values

    I've seen this covered a number of places, but not specifically which is better. If I'm supposed to use a 6.5uf capacitor (which I can't find), which is the recommended solution? 1. replace with one 6.8uf 2. replace with two 3.3's in parallel to get exactly 6.6 From what I understand I if...

    Dahlquist DQ-10 Rebuild issues and tech questions

    Does anyone know the secret to removing both the woofers and midranges from a DQ-10? Even after removing all screws, they won't budge. I've heard that there might be adhesive holding them. If that's the case, will using a stiff putty knife do the trick without damaging the fiberboard? Is...

    Yet another pair!

    As soon as I get rid of a pair of speakers a new pair pop up! Picked up a single owner pair of Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers on a good deal. They need a little attention but they are in great shape overall! Already been mirrored so I'll probably just refoam and recap the crossovers and see how they...

    Dahlquist DQ-10 tweeter replacement

    One of the tweeters in my Dahlquist DQ-10s is blown. (Came back from a work trip a few years back to find a tweeter fuse blown and my Minor Threat CD sitting out on a table...) Took it apart to check and the film was physically torn. I "repaired" it by spreading a thin film of polyacrylate...

    Dahlquist DQ-10 bigdome midrange - Crossover problem?

    I purchased a pair of Dahlquist DQ-10 that were supposed to work perfectly, but didn't. By the time I found out I had driven 3 hours to get them (6 hours total). Woofers dry rotten and some of the drivers weren't working at all. I replaced the foams using Rick Cobb's kit, checked all of the...
