Just joined as I am about to refoam a pair of Carver Amazings Oak Silver IVs, and I may have some noob questions.

They'll be powered by a Sunfire 300 Series II.

Hello BlowUpTheMoon and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us.

 

Nice handle. Are you related to Marvin The Martian? :D 

 

Good luck with the refoam. I'm they'll sound great driven by that Sunfire amp.

Thanks for the welcome!
I'm a little nervous about the refoam as it's my first and I'm doing all six drivers.  But I've watched enough YouTube videos where I feel somewhat comfortable.
Ran into a roadblock already after taking off the back grill.  Was expecting simple "crimp connectors" not for the wires to be soldered on.   Will get a solder gun tomorrow remove the wires from the connector.

 Can't wait to hear them the way they were intended to be heard.

Welcome @BlowUpTheMoon, so glad you found is.

 

This is a great website and audio forum for Carver Fans..., and, as already mentioned, it works by members like you coming here and sharing their projects !!! (you probably already figured that out looking at the library of threads! 😉 )

 

We'd love for you to start a new thread, with LOTS of pictures..., on your re-foam project in the Speaker Forum section.  Lots of members here have done theirs, and they will pipe in for support.

 

BTW, it's not a huge project - lots of YouTube videos on refoaming..., watch a couple of those, buy your re-foam kit from a reputable source..., like SimplySpeakers.com or other website.  Some of those dealers also sell on eBay..., but probably best to avoid the no-name sellers, with no reputation.  Don't skimp on your foam surrounds..., they are going to take a beating with that Sunfire 300 😉 and you want the best.  Pay a little more, and you won't get scared to turn up the volume... 

 

Again, welcome to TCS - hope you enjoy and hang out with us a long time.
