For free (plus shipping, etc): three 15" passive radiators

[Eric Weitzman]

I have three 15" passive radiators (model PR-15) that need to go to a new home. They are yours for the cost of packaging and shipping. I bought these 10 years ago from Stryke Audio via a group buy on the bass-list for a subwoofer cabinet, driver, and radiator kit.

Details can be seen courtesy of the waybackmachine for the passive radiator and the sub enclosure kit.

I believe these have the 1400g weights. The seam on one surround split and was patched with felt and silicone. A new surround is included so you can redo the repair if it's not to your satisfaction.

Shipping weight will be around 25 pounds. Buyer to pay in advance via paypal for shipping method of choice plus $15 for a good box and packing material. My time is free: an environmental tax to keep all this fine metal and embedded energy out of our local landfill. Everything sold as-is.

Hi Eric,

If someone has an immediate use for them I would like to see this generosity not go to waste. If no one has an immediate project in mind then I would love to have them. I will not have a project together until the fall. Let's see what others have in mind.

I'm in a similar mode as Cal, I have a Lambda PR15 that would probably work great with a pair of these, but it's not something I'll get to before fall/winter.

I'll take them. I was looking at a push-pull mainfold loaded slot vented design, but the PRs would allow me a better alignment. We're going to cover the sub in tiles, painted by the Fam. It will not be small or light, probably in excess of 150 lbs.

Thanks, and please PM me your paypal and what amount I should send, shipping to 92780

Oop- re-reading- UPS is fine, do you have experience with packaging drivers for shipping? These should be fairly robust but people underestimate the damage UPS can do sometimes.

If there is one left I could use ome of them...even the damaged one.
Let me know, thanks!

If our gracious OP Erik doesn't mind shipping to you also, I have no need for the third w/surround issue. I need 2.

[jmillerdoc]

Erik, if you wouldn't mind shipping the broken one separate I would be glad to pay all your expenses. If that's too much trouble I would also be willing to pay Badman to ship to me once he's got them.....

As it turned out, when I inspected the PRs after taking them out of storage, the other surrounds had split and I had a pair of new surrounds in the box instead of just one. Two PRs and the two surrounds have been sent off to badman.

The third one (with the surround I repaired) also has new splits in the surround. And the glue has given out between the spider and the cardboard cylinder (or coil-less voice coil if you will). Someone speak up if you want that one. You'll have to get a new surround and re-glue the spider. Trash day is Friday.

PS - jmillerdoc and I discussed the situation. He was hoping to get a PR along with the spare surround to make repairs. Sorry it didn't work out.
