old speakers

[timrjrm]

recently purchased these speakers but don't have a clue what make or brand it is there is a picture of the mode3# wattage and ohms I know some one has opened these because one speaker had those styrofoam lining speaker and both had identicle capacitors but two capacitors of the same rating went to tweeter and midrange they sorta look like original but not sure and in one of the speakers where there was no foam the capacitors were disconeccted . i want to sorta modify they way they are set up any suggestions or anyone have a clue what are the origins of these speakers ???/

what amplifier are you using?

 

[malden]

1) test all drivers individually to make sure they work

2) remove the styrofoam

3) replace with polyfill

4) listen to them

5) post better photos

6) construct clearer sentences

listen to the one speakerthat was intact sounded ok but haven'i tested all drivers seperately ! Not here as a photographer and my grammar will never improve LOL

i not using one amplifier usually switching from the different recievers i've bought .

You need capacitors for the midrange and tweeter, to protect them from burning out if nothing else. Are you saying that on that one speaker, the wires run directly from both input terminals (or the terminals on the woofer - your pics aren't too clear) to the midrange and tweeter?

BTW, I agree with @malden: we're asking for better pics and text so we can understand the situation. It's not a question of grammar.

the speaker wire attatches to the woofer then the wires go to both capacitors which are 5uf's one capacitor is wired to to the tweeter the other goes to midrange ! i'm just recently learning about speaker builds so this is why i dont know if this was the original set up of the speaker or someone modified them later and just had the same rated capacitors and put them to the tweeter and midrange .instead of using different value capacitors

there's a book from Radio Shack available on ebay that will help you understand some of this stuff. It's cheap and will help you form questions we can help you with...



here's another that will be more period correct for your speakers...
