Woofer_01 Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Here is the business end record of the restore... Refoamed surrounds and rewired with 16awg. Also installed new Parts Express Round Speaker Wire Terminal Cup 2-15/16" with Gold Spring-Loaded connection terminals. These are prefect for use with the 2mm Pin Connectors (Last pic - They are eBay products) on the end of the speaker wires... I am slowly converting all my speaker wires over to these connectors for the ease in which they can be used to quickly swap speakers Also added new caps (2uf and a 3uf=5uf) Now I have to figure out fixing the cabinet damage. When I first put the sound on them... I was actually stunned... jaw dropped! These speakers are blowing my mind! They sound way bigger than their actual size! The cabinets are scratched up a tad and I can't stop listening to them to work on the cabinets. I am off today to pick up a set of AR-18s speakers that also have some very minor cabinet damage... I am anxious to get them up and running just to do a comparison between the 'b and 's versions. I have been led to believe the 18s will blow the 18b out of the water... we will see over the two weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briodo Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I have a pair of them I have never had to open up, an earlier owner did the refoam. They sound simply amazing for such a small speaker. The connector swap is a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
