PMAT 2,038 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Bought these from a church in excellent condition for $200. They gave me 90 days to return. Should get enough bass for my Suburban now! They have the Titanium Compression tweeter and 15 inch Bass units. I bought them for outdoor use, mostly at work for events. They are 101 db efficient so a TFM 45 should be able to be heard on the other coast. What I really need a Carver pro amp. Trying to keep my budget very low though. I have a PT 1800 with a hum. Apparently they are a bitch to re-cap so that unit gathers dust. It's far beyond me and I don't want to spend hundreds to do it. It's overkill anyway. A light Carver amp would be great. I found a cool Bogen preamp for $50 that has all kinds of good features but its mono. None of my cables work with pro stuff so I cant listen to them yet. I expect the tweeter to have some bite (could be wrong) so I want to tame that. Tubes? Tube buffer? Is that possible? Anyway, hopefully Dom will chime in here, or any of you with this kind of experience. I love Reggae in the sun on summer days. Any suggestions for a tight budget?
zumbini 6,147 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Nice score Paul. In decent shape I would expect to pay $350-400 for those. Does your jack plate have 2 pairs of inputs like this? If so one pair are 1/4" TS/phono, the other Speakon twist locks. I probably have some spare banana to 1/4" adapter cords laying around that I can send you. 1
PMAT 2,038 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Posted August 9, 2017 Yes Dom, those are the connections on the back. Thanks for the generous offer. I will probably try to buy some connectors today. Dear Rod, I want to be somewhere between Charlie and Basspig. . I have a little fantasy about a mobile system playing out the back of the Suburban at the park, lake or beach. Instant party right? Reggae might bring the Swedish Bikini Team.
zumbini 6,147 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I dug out the banana to 1/4" and speakon to 1/4" adapters and a few speaker cables in case you change your mind. 1
kve777 6,888 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Paul, I have a Gemini GXA-1600, if you want a budget amp to get you by. It, too, has Speakon connectors. Figure $140.00, shipped. Manual is easy to find online. 1
Community Admin AndrewJohn 10,466 Posted August 9, 2017 Community Admin Posted August 9, 2017 Clearly working on building the mobile "party barn." Are we all invited if the Swedish Bikini Team shows up? Nice score. From a church, it has to be in pretty decent shape. (Minimal abuse - assuming no exorcisms ! ) 2
