SD 1 speakers

Arick · 24th January 2009, 03:29 AM

Hi everyone,
I have a pair of speakers made buy SD acoustics called SD 1. The 10 inch woofer on one side is "gone" ...Does any one have any info on these?
Thank you,
Eric

I have no info about that.

But you can replace it with another woofer for sure.

Should the replacement speaker be as close as the original? Otherwise I guess it would change the sound of the hole unit?

Is there any info on the magnet that would give a clue to their origin/mfg? Why is the driver in question shot? Fried voicecoil...rotten foam surround...other?

Interesting speaker.

The woofer sounds "fine" until I give it more power at that point it sounds as if you would crack wood in rhythm with the music. It looks just fine to me (however I am not a specialist ...) ,a friend just suggested to bring it to a local guy here for re coning. I will probably find more info as we pull it out, yet If I am told it is "KAPUT" then I need an alternative.

Sounds like "wood cracking" ???
Over-driving is definitely a possibility, turn down the volume.

If you like your music loud perhaps you need new speakers, also if ported they may be getting too much infra-sonic information does your amp/pre-amp have a sub-bass filter?? if so does using it make a difference??

The right side is fine with that volume level and it is not overall that high...

If so, Then, it is not worth replacing with the orig driver.

If that system is ported, you can find many better replacement for it, just look for smooth freq response to be safe.

Hi everyone,
The foam around the speaker was broken, finally got them out. They are french speakers buy the name of AUDAX model MHD24P45TSM. My friend got me in contact with someone which may be able to repair them. If not I will be on the lookout...

Hi,

Re-foam both drivers, the other will be very near going as well.
E-pray hass lots of options, all far cheaper than new drivers.

The SD1 I recall as a large bass/mid 2 way - replacement drivers
are a bit of a nightmare though Seas do paper 10" bass/mids.
