jbl century gold

[greyhound]

There's a guy who is selling his jbl's century gold speakers. I am planning to buy them (i cant wait to go back to the jbl sound) but the guy tells me there are no batteries that power the filter. I tought that the century gold has a 9 volt battery in the back that should be replaced everey 2 years or so.
Am i wrong?
Is there another line of century's that comes without battery.
Im going to buy them tomorow so any fast answer could help.
For all i know its like a dummy or something.

The centurys will be my speaker for the time i will need to build my own JBL's but i heard it sounds fine

Thank you.

Well, hopefully he hasn't been running them with dead batteries for years, but who knows? Once fresh batteries are in place, they will sing as intended.

probably he has never unscrewed the back of the crossover

the battery is hidden behind a cap

good luck
