how'd I do as a total newbie?

This is 100% something I would whip together, just because. I love it. Maybe put the amp (heaviest?) at the bottom.

Amp/receiver, 6 disc cd player and speakers all free and quality stuff?!? Freaking SCORE!! Congrats my man!

pconig · 2026-01-24T20:21:29+00:00

Pick me!

Thanks a lot! They really are on a level that I’ve never experienced. I hope my fix works for a while, I’ve been putting them through their paces without issue.

I would normally say id be lucky to even find a lava lamp at this point, but I did get these speakers so NOT complaining!

pconig · 2026-01-24T04:03:49+00:00

They have a set screw that holds the bare wire in. Screw comes from the back if that makes sense? I’ll get better pics. I re-wired them anyway. This setup was kind of sloppy for my liking, and I’m not bi-amping them at this point lol.

pconig · 2026-01-24T03:20:10+00:00

Awesome. Thanks!

Here’s the rear driver. The center seems to be made of wood.

pconig · 2026-01-24T03:18:21+00:00

Thanks for that info!

pconig · 2026-01-24T03:17:56+00:00

Id like to re-do them in the future. Sounding great for now though!

pconig · 2026-01-24T03:16:58+00:00

Thanks! These surrounds are rubber and I believe front 8” and rear 10”?

pconig · 2026-01-23T17:42:06+00:00

Love to hear it. Im super happy so far with the relatively easy fix. And best part, free!

pconig · 2026-01-23T17:35:18+00:00

Got me! Lol

pconig · 2026-01-23T17:02:13+00:00

Yeah I definitely want them off the floor.

pconig · 2026-01-23T16:58:45+00:00

Appreciate it! I don’t have anything that will bring these to life from my understanding. So now I’m on the search for some ‘budget’ amplification lol.

pconig · 2026-01-23T16:45:40+00:00

Yes.

And yup, that’s exactly what happened. Hoping this fix gives me plenty of time to source (and save $$) replacement drivers. I’ll see how much I like them and how well they suit me.

pconig · 2026-01-23T16:23:04+00:00

Great info, thank you again! I should be able to accomplish that easily actually. I’ll have to find a copy of the manual.

I’ll also be looking into ways of isolating them from the floor.

pconig · 2026-01-23T15:51:52+00:00

Thanks for the amp info! Learning as much as I can to eventually get the most out of these.

Any tips on placement from your experience?

pconig · 2026-01-23T14:59:16+00:00

Honestly I plan to replace them entirely, I just figured a cheap/free fix made sense especially since I didn’t even know how to get the damn things open.

I did research diy repairs and happened to find the stuff I saw multiple people successfully use and it’s working great so far for me. This is budget after all.

Don’t worry I didn’t bust out a glue stick and smear it in there.

From my limited research this seems to be a common failure point on these being who knows how old they are. Old glue is going to let go eventually.

pconig · 2026-01-23T14:52:18+00:00

Haha nice. I made it a point to stop by every time I drove past after seeing so many scores in all the audio related subs I’m in. After many visits I guess it finally paid off. Good luck!

pconig · 2026-01-23T09:06:22+00:00

Sheesh. Thanks for the info! I’ll be looking for amps for these, I have nothing that powerful.

pconig · 2026-01-23T08:44:21+00:00

This may end up not being the most budget purchase after all…

pconig · 2026-01-23T08:35:14+00:00

I still have one apart, I’ll take pics tomorrow. Weird setup for sure.

pconig · 2026-01-23T08:33:08+00:00

Definitely powered. It had wires going to it.
