I built a metal hanger that is bolted to the side wall and then to a ceiling joist. The speaker sits on it's side in it with a little padding, protecting it and keeps it from vibrating. The cabinet was not drilled, modified, or harmed in anyway, don't worry. Oh, and big props to all of you with the suggestions regarding a loose connection. I opened the back last night and found a bad solder joint on the woofer. A quick minute with the solder iron and I was back listening to good stereo sound. Now, while I have your attention, any one care to suggest a CD player I should look for under $300? thanks again. David

I'm using an older Pioneer SX-5590 receiver. The volume control has never been over half way as, yes, it is WAY LOUD :-). Now I have played around with the 4 tone controls a few times and yes, cranked up the base up, but never did I hear anything that sounded like something was straining. I'll pull the cover off the speaker this evening and push the woofer cone and listen for anything abnormal as previously suggested and then take the back off and inspect the cross over. I did recently hoist the speaker up such that it is now suspended from the ceiling, maybe I did jostle something loose. thanks all for the comments. I'll let you know what I find. Oh, by the way, my friend that suggested getting a pair of klipsch for the garage tried to talk me into an older scott 340A receiver but the thought of tubes in a varying temperature environment scared me away.

Hi All, Newbie here. I recently acquired a pair of used cornwall speakers for my new garage and after getting things all set up, I notice the left speaker woofer has no output. I'm assuming I some how damaged it in the initial few weeks I've been listening to them and have just now realized the problem. I'm driving them with an older Pioneer 165 watt receiver (early 70's vintage). I really haven't pushed the system hard, maybe half way at the most. First question. Is there anything else that could be wrong other than a blown voice coil? Second question. Is this amp too big for the speaker (If I'm thinking correctly, the cornwall is rated at ~100 watts) and even if I replace the woofer, will I end up with another problem soon? Third Q, In a previous post from 2003, I read you can order replacement K-33 woofers (assuming the woofer is the culprit), is this still the best option I have? Thanks in advance David
