[charlie2]

Just bought these🙁 for £100--$150

quick google before hand comprise of.

buttcheek horn/waveguide 2344a(jbl modified) cut out + 2 ports

2426j compression drivers

2206hpl mid/bass drivers

been looking for some cheap compression drivers🙂 these are a bit rough but components seem OK so far.

What do I do next that will be another topic soon😉

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

I have tried adding attatchments/ uploading pics through this site but nothing happenes when I click upload😕

had a few more pics to see exactly what but going through tinypic is a ballache🙄

Never seen purple monitor wedges before!

Bargain or not will depend on the state of the compression drivers. Google suggests new nearly £400 each.

So a few observations will reveal.

1 crack in cheekbutt😀 ok not funny but i think a panel behind for support is the way to go

2 the colour purple 🙁 who cares i think im taking them to bits

3 the burnt stuff not look good but check graph for response

4 the dog chewed ports (ok some numpty with cutters) parts from a super dooper pair of cheapieshitey wharfedales have the same diameter ports that i have lying around

can't see any burnt stuff but why a picture of a glass panel?

At first upon inspecting the compression diaghrams it looked like what appeared to be a crack in one (buttcheek jokes aside) slightly running finger nail aolong it suggested this,

Bloody hairline glue trace across it😱






here is the frequency response of both speakers low end cut off is quite sharp

Glass panel dont know where that came from???? during uploads😕

Now the burnt stuff (insulation sound proofing) is charred and white not dirty and black from muck and dust etc trust me crispy and burnt

possibly from the corner capicitor on PCB?

I can only guess it was the woofers getting hot. Wedges get a huge amount of abuse. If the drive units work I wouldn't worry 🙂

Ridiculous things by any yardstick.
