    KLH Model 17 Woofer Clicking

    Just got this beautiful pair of KLH Model 17s, restored caps (wow!) and (attempted to) re-seal surrounds. I recently started thinking I was hearing a rattling from the left and sure enough, there is. Here is a google drive link to video showing the clicking sound at 5 Hz (right in time with the...

    JBL 122A Woofer Spider deformed, Recone? (JBL L166)

    Hello guys, I bought new speakers again, JBL L166! They were not that expensive and to pickup in my area. :banana: Both the JBL 122A-1 woofers have damaged foam surrounds, which I noticed while I was at the guy's place buying them, but that wasn't really a problem I thought. On closer...

    Peavey Black widows not suspended correctly.

    Hiya, I recently bought a used pair of 4ohm 15" black widow drivers as spares for my Peavey hisys5xt cabs. On opening them, apart from a strong solvent smell, on examining them one is almost at the end of its excursion towards the magnet and the other almost all the way out (could they...

    Snell Type-Ai… what next?

    Hi, new member here so apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. I am currently running an Outlaw Audio RR2150 receiver into a recently acquired pair of snell type-Ai’s. I love their beefy monolithic look and are an tremendous upgrade from my type-E II’s. The system sounds very nice...

    Boston Acoustics T-1030 Water Damage and Spider Questions

    Hi Everyone, I was lucky enough to score a pair of Boston Acoustics T-1030 last weekend to replace a set that I stupidly sold. After I got them home and reality set in, I realized they're in worse condition than I thought. 1.) The water damage is my main concern. The flaring and wavy pattern...

    Glue for Polk LS70?

    Hi all - I scored a minty pair of Polk LS70's today. I'd never heard any of the LS before (huge SDA fan) but I'm pretty impressed thus far. I agree with what I've read on here about them - pretty directional and boomy bass, but we'll work on that later. For the moment, the issue I've...

    Where to buy a new spider / help evaluate spider? McIntosh 12" Woofer

    I can't find them available outside of full re-cone kits, but where do you buy them alone? The cone and voice coil are fine - just a sagging spider (it's sagging maybe 1/8"?). This is a 12" McIntosh woofer 036-001. Appreciate any tips - thanks! Alternatively, if this looks OK to use as-is...

    Subwoofer no sound - quick question

    First off hi guys, the names Max and I've been a mechanic / diyer for about 10 years with a little car audio here and there.

    Repairing Kef B139 SP1044 Woofers

    I've found that the glue between the spider and the middle cone has deteriorated and resulted in a total separation. The spider is still in great shape so I don't really want to replace it. However, there is still a fair amount of old glue left on it. The way I see it, I have 3 options: 1...
