    Crescendo 3007 woofer help

    Hi All, Just refoamed a set of these yesterday with a set of foams from my audio addiction using the proper glue on the cones (weldwood). Not sure of the history as these were a CL score ($120 for the pair plus a velodyne F1200B!) Upon firing them up, it seemed that the sound was very 1 sided...

    JBL Control 5 Repair or Not

    somebody gave me some JBL Control 5 Monitors. No sound from the low frequency driver on both. Speakers are in tact. No obvious tears, holes, etc. so does that mean a crossover replacement? I’m trying to figure out if they are worth any investment. Is this a major repair?. Or just toss them. The...

    Need help -- Yamaha NS-1000X Woofer ...

    One of my woofers on the NS-1000X (woofer model # is JA-3114), came stuck last night. Woofer is distorting, and when I try to push it in, feels sticky. Looking for advice from fellow AKers on how to fix this problem and recommendations on where to get this repaired. Thanks, in advance. HPK

    Static in Woofers after Refoaming

    I'm sure I could dig through the thousands of posts here about this problem, and I actually started to, but there are just so many that it seemed simpler to post my own question. I'm not new to refoaming. I did some JBL Decade 16s a few months ago and they sound great! But I just did a...

    AR-4X woofer replacement

    Hey guys I looked around the net trying to find a recone kit without any luck. Would you guys know of a place to get a kit or even a replacement woofer that would be close to the original? A modern upgrade is fine but that would be last on the list.

    So, I'm re-capping a pair of JBL 4311's, and I'm taking out one of the 2213 woofers, and it's missing one of the bolts! It doesn't even have the spiked nut on the inside of the cabinet. I thought it might have fallen somewhere on the inside, nowhere to be found. The picture is from the other...

    Cleaning sticky and dusty woofers, yay or nay?

    I'm in the process of restoring an old pair of BIC Venturi Formula 4 and the woofers are still working great, but they are sticky and dusty (I wonder if something sticky like soft drink spilled on them before). I want to know if this is advisable to clean them and if yes, how. I will post...

    Hi All, Just picked up a set of these for $40 knowing the woofers were "blown". Turns out they arent, but have some odd replacements. One is a weird covered GE woofer hacked in (thankfully without cutting the cab) and the other looks like another model Wharf full range. Anyway, both have to go...

    RE-DOPING Is Not Always a Good Idea (???)

    NHT 1.3A, busted dustcaps

    I picked up a pair of NHT 1.3As recently. These are probably no-ones "holy grail" speakers, but they have sentimental value for me as they were the model used in-store at a record shop I visited often as a kid- and they are actually very good speakers. Unfortunately, the soft plastic dustcaps...

    I want to recone the woofer on a CV D9. The speaker is 152wr. Do I purchase a 4 or 8 ohm kit? I think the speakers are 8 ohm units...the multimeter read 5 ohms. Thanks for your input.

    Janszen Z-600 Bass Improvement?

    Hi: I recently acquired a pair of early 60s Janszen Z-600s. After repairing one of the speaker's electrostatic tweeter's connections, they sound great on the high end, but seem a bit lacking on the bass, which I understand is common with early electrostatics. Is there an easy way to address...
