    JBL 4311 Speaker Insulation Mold?

    I just recently got a pair of JBL 4311 speakers off Marketplace for $50, the cabinets are really beat with a good bit of damage (a sizable chunk missing from one and a bit of warping on the other) but the drivers are pristine and they sound amazing. I took them apart the other day to see the...

    JBL 4530 cabinet

    Hi AK! Although I’ve seen the 4530 cabinets around - can someone explain how the top mounted horn works in conjunction with the 15” woofer? I often see some sort of crossover mounted on top next the horn. How are all these things secured? Is there a particular measurement for the horn to...

    Electro voice aristocrat subwoofer

    Hi, I saw a single aristocrat cabinet down at the local thrift shop and was wondering if anyone knows whether or not the cabinet would make for a decent subwoofer enclosure. If so then I'll go back and pick it up.. Thanks .

    HPM 100 Cabinet Rebuild

    Love em' or hate em', in great condition they sell for a profit. I've wanted a set for a while and scored them at a pretty good price, but the cabinets are shot. Normally I'd just take a set of rough cabinets and clean them up, but there are small chunks missing from these cabinets, so I'm...

    Hi AK, I'm new to vintage audio and really enjoying learning about it, largely though the posts here. So thanks for all your contributions! I picked up a set of ADC 303A "Brentwood" speakers, and I really like them (connected to my Concept 2.5 receiver). The only catch is that one has a dent...

I got a sweet score on a pair of AR-5's and already go new grills (there were holes), have original badges, refoaming woofers as we speak, serial numbers within 8 and both speakers have both papers stapled to the back-all complete.
