I think they were just reconed by a dingus -- very wrong surround and didn't replace the batting. At least the mass rings were still there.I have a miniDSP flex w/ DIRAC. That sorts a lot of XO...

Cool! Thanks for that. I wasn't looking too hard. It was only the damping in the bottom of the cabinet that was gone. Luckily the rest of it hadn't been yanked out. I put some fresh fiberglass...

I'm in the process of restoring a set of L300. I started a while ago and don't remember removing any damping material from them but I noticed a small bit (size of an almond) of that sort of material...

That's what I've read here. This site is such a wonderful resource! I've also read that some folks prefer the 2234 in the L300, which is what they are in. I just would like to know what I've got...

I had one of those...and sold it. I thought I was done fooling with speakers. Silly me...there is no escape.

Thanks, y'all. I'll install the surrounds (on their way to me now from Rick Cobb) and then measure Fs. If I understand correctly, without the mass ring I should essentially have a 2234 (albeit with...

I'm wondering if there is any way to determine if the mass ring was installed without removing the dust cap. I have a set of 136A that were reconed with 2235 cones. Whoever did it used wildly...

That helps a lot. The bigger, sealed cabs are the way to go. The 5.5 cabs they came in are fairly well built, good enough to work with at least, but they smell bad and don't look great. I actually...

RMC, Thanks again!

I'm familiar with ScanSpeak/Vifa/Peerless. I've had a few speakers in my day and drivers made by those manufactures have been in some of my favorites:). Not enough to have a...

Wow, RMC, thanks!!! I went and wrote a long reply already and then my browser ate it. Let's try again, slightly abbreviated. I really like these drivers. I'm liking them with the Morel MDT-12...

I gave the cabs away to a happy fellow that drove three hours from Atlanta for them. I hope he does something cool with them.

No love for the 420A. :(

I'm now trying them out with some Morel MDT-12 tweets. Using miniDSP to try different XO points / slopes. Still having fun. Still liking these bi-flex drivers. Still...

A few days ago I picked up a pair of old DIY speakers. The are about 5.5cubic feet and have 8 small holes (no tube, just holes) in the baffle board. They are about 1.5 inches in diameter. They...

I picked up a pair of big ol' cabinets tonight that were loaded with Altec 420A. I'm wondering how they would sound in the C34 cabinets? I think I'm going to try that out this weekend. I'm pretty...

Acquired these recently. I think the cabinets are a DIY clone of a C34 cabinet. Or maybe there was an industrial version? Or maybe these were originally nice, pretty C34 cabs that have seen much...
