    Vintage Jensen DIY open baffle towers

    The horn/midrange/cabinet woofer are very quiet through their original crossovers. I recently purchased a non-tarred a645 crossover in hopes of reverse engineering the original crossover design to update with modern capacitor and inducter. The Jensen Coaxials sound absolutely amazing on their...

    Miller & Kreisel MX-150 The Guts & The Glory

    I am troubleshooting a no-sound issue on a Miller & Kreisel MX150 mkII. Before anything I checked the motion of the front woofer to find that the voice coil was stuck. Not rubbing but darn STUCK. ( figuring it was just a shifted plate issue ) I removed the magnets and plate, voice coil looked...

    Vintage Jensen coaxial question. What the heck is this thingy?

    I've had a pair of Jensen Coaxials (model h223f) for a decade now. They've mostly just sat around, not making much of a fuss. Minding their own business. These speakers sound quite good for their age and technology. The woofer is Jensen's 12" FLEXAIR woofer. Apparently these "flexair"...

    My ceiling speakers have 4 binding posts. (RIN) (LIN) How to wire them ?

    Oh I see. So 1 pair of wire, jump the positive and negative of each coil for series. Jump the positives together and negatives together for parallel. Give a man a fish... feed him for a day. Teach a man basic electrical theory, and he'll install fish for a lifetime. ty sensei *bows...

    My ceiling speakers have 4 binding posts. (RIN) (LIN) How to wire them ?

    I had originally intended on powering 4 maybe 5 speakers through a Yamaha RX-v2400 home theatre receiver, but she wont be able to run 2 pairs of wires to each. I don't think the amplifiers on the 7.1 Rx-v2400 can handle these in parallel. At the moment I think I'm restricted to a single pair of...

    My ceiling speakers have 4 binding posts. (RIN) (LIN) How to wire them ?

    Thinking about it now, there are Outputs and Inputs here... Positive is in, Negative is out. Right? Have I answered my own question? lol This is a setup for parallel and/or series wiring, right? That's gotta be it... >.>

    My ceiling speakers have 4 binding posts. (RIN) (LIN) How to wire them ?

    Howdy AK. It's been a while. Too long :) I recently purchased x10 of these in-ceiling speakers for install in my brother's place. ( MM 650d ) Elan in-ceiling speakers. There is very little installation instruction online regarding these units. ( Plenty of instruction on mounting them but not...

    Welcome home SARA st-100s

    They are very close in grain and color. They are from the same era I believe. ( mid to late 70's ) Not quite sure what wood veneer was used. I would like to know though, and I need to look up more info on refurbishing old cabinets. As you most likely noticed, there is (or what I think may...

    Welcome home SARA st-100s

    I tried plugging the ports and they did reduce the bass. Almost too much ! After some back and forth and playing with placement, I have come to the decision that I need to rethink all speaker placement throughout my home ! Getting closer to the " golden ratio " really opens up while tightening...

    Welcome home SARA st-100s

    Just did a quick binding post upgrade. Pulled a couple posts from an unused pair of crossovers I had lying around. While I was looking for an entry point... voila ! Found the crossovers conveniently located under the bottom panel of the cabs. Not really sure what is what in there but it looks...

    What track do you use to test a speaker's bass responce? (post youtube link!)

    I really admire the resonance Kamal presents in " Tides of time " from the Quiet Earth Album. Though it's not your BOOM BOOM bass. More like rolling thunder or the low resonating of a giant yet precise machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ4U0vZ7ERA ( you may have to click on a...

    Wiring the new warehouse, or, cement ceilings are tough !

    I thought of some sort of epoxy or glue but I didnt think of hot glue. It could work, but it would have to harden fast, and have to hold up the weight of over 50' of 14 awg cable. Do you think the hot glue method can hold that sort of weight ? I fear the mess I would make trying to smother the...

    Wiring the new warehouse, or, cement ceilings are tough !

    I was thinking something along the same line, but the plastic anchor bit is a better idea than my own. I was just going to drill some holes and anchor the straps straight into the cement like ive been doing for conduits. I jsut didnt want to lug that hammer drill around... not after this...
