Hello all...
I was in a music shop the other day with my daughter looking at sheet music, when out of the corner of my eye I saw something interesting...:uhmmmm:
I wandered over to a huge black box about the size of a large fridge., but not quite so tall. And a 15" driver in it. Looking at the tag, all it said was 15" Altec $250 (canadian).
I got all excited and started thinking about a subwoofer.... :bouncy: My daughter stopped me however. I can't stop thinking about it though.
A little more detail: the driver had the pleated type surround, Aluminum dust cover, about 1 1/2" to 2" wide. It seemed in good shape, no tears or stains. No crossover that I could see, just terminals. Large port in front, about 2" by 12" rectangle, not sure if it was ducted. I dont know if itwas used for reenforcment or for a bass guitar or what... The cab is pretty fugly though... but its not the cab I'm interested in.
I'm going to go back today I think and bring a cam, if I dont just buy it and figure it out later, I'll post some pics of it to get more opinions of what this thing might be. And whether it will be suitable to my 'plans'. Hopefully they will let me open it up to get a model number... :dont-know What model# do I want it to be?
What I need to know from youse, as best as you can tell from my description, is would this be a good sub to go with L-110's? I'll have even more questions if I get this, like crossover/ lowpass advise and power requirements, etc....
Thanks in advance for the opinions....
