    Speaker upgrade to 1960s Magnavox console

    Putting new equipment in a 1964 Magnavox console. Had two 5 inch mids pointing forward and a 12 woofer pointing out the side. That configuration for left and right side. They were not enclosed from behind, just in the cabinet itself. Thinking to build boxes around them for better sound...

    Full range + Subwoofer setup. Criticism needed

    I'm considering a speaker system using wide box (almost like a soundbar, but deeper). But, each speaker has its own chamber inside. So, the internal volumes will be separated for each speaker This is only the second speaker system I've ever built, so, i'm still a bit green. I'm wondering if...

    Dunlavy Audio Labs Archive - From the mind of a "Legend"!

    I noticed that we didn't have a central site for discussion and archiving of information about what, I believe most would agree, was a legendary speaker line from a "Legendary" designer. I think we also would all agree that it takes some special capabilities and insight to become recognized in...

    Wharfedale/Tannoy DYI - Talk me in or out of it!

    Hi guys! I've enjoyed my audio journey thus far, but am certainly in need of a change of speakers. When me and a good friend started the journey, our first real speakers were a set of Klipsch Tangent T200's for myself (I heavily improved the cabs, dampened the horn and upgraded the crossovers)...

    Fortura 10 worth fixing?

    Hey, I came into possession of a pair of clapped out Fortura 10 speakers. They have air motion tweeters on top and trashed woofers. Crossovers came in a box and the speakers are not wired currently. Obviously I have never tried to run these as there is a bunch of work required just to test...

    So I bought a pair of Technics SB-L50's at Goodwill the other day - in really nice shape, the look like they've never been used. Anyways, I bought them for a project for my 12yr old son and I.
