Good to know, I can stop thinking about them every time I'm in town trying to avoid temptation.

So awesome to see stuff nearby! Just not something I need at the moment unfortunately. If you check his other listings he has some parts like K-22 woofers and K-55V driver, as well as a KG2.2V Center Chan.
Did you see the Forte II also in Lexington Woofers & Tweeters? If it hadn't been for the corner damage, I would have had to checked those out (no affiliation of course):

That CL post is toast.

That van looks great inside; cool story behind it also. My lights still dimmed even with the caps, alternator, and dual batteries. The Dakota Digital gauges that I had in the dash displayed current draw and the voltage sensed at the amplifier terminals so as the amp current neared 100A the voltage still dipped significantly, this was at idle of course, that amp I ran @ 1ohm rated at 1400w RMS:
This was the vehicle's exterior:
Not sure how I got so off topic, apologies to the OP as I strolled down memory lane. lol.

I never saw the need for those.
I believe the marketing at the time was that it would help with instant reserve energy for peaky bass hits during normal use. I received them as part of a package deal where the seller threw them in the deal for no additional cost since he didn't need them anymore so I went ahead and used them, but didn't notice any difference with them.

We upgraded the alternator and added an extra battery as well. One amp for the subs and one amp for the mids and highs. All power and grounds were 0 gauge welding cable. It was cheaper than the boutique speaker branded wire.
Sounds like we had similar setups, my front-stage amp was the only other amp I used also. I averaged 148.8 dB at the front window dB Drag with that modest system and with disconnecting and removing the front-stage amp for competitions I was in lower power classes running only the sub-amp. Later they changed to a woofer count based classification system so the one amplifier didn't help me as much then, but that is when I stopped competing anyhow. I did have two capacitors also, forgot about those, but not much help really, here was a better view through the plexi at the amps with blue neon on at night:

That was my son's daily driver as well. We didn't habe near the money in it than pretty much any of the others did but he blew a lot of them away.
Awesome, congrats on the win. It was always extra satisfying when those wins were against super high-end systems.
For the subwoofers I only ran one amp (white in that photo behind the plexi window), replaced OEM alternator with 240amp alternator, and added one additional battery.

We put it in his safari van. It would do 150dB with a 3KW amp, 2 batteries and a single alternator. Probably would have done more but it broke all the glue joints on the roof panels where they hook to the cross bows. It flapped like a sheet in the wind, lol.
Was a nice enclosure, I did not know dBDrag was still around, I loved competing in the 90's. Actually, I would rather have that vehicle over any current vehicle on the road; miss it so bad. I only ran 3 15" though, it was also my daily driver:

I am the original owner of this JTR Speakers Captivator 118HT 18” powered home subwoofer which I purchased brand new, directly from JTR Speakers. The subwoofer has less than 20-hours of gentle use on my vinyl, 2-channel setup. It is located in a room that rarely gets use and our home is non-smoker with no pets. My wife knows that the top of all our speakers are off limits for decorations so nothing has been sat on top of it. I am simply eliminating it from that system and using only the 2 floor standing speakers instead since I felt the subwoofer was way more bass than I needed for that room/system. The finish is their standard “matte black paint” which has a textured look/feel and it is in great condition, please note that the lines/streaks you see on the sides in the photos are shadow reflections from the camera's external flash reflecting off of the glossy wood flooring and aren't actually on the finish. The original grille is included and is also in mint condition with all original attachment magnets fully in-tact. The subwoofer came factory equipped with an on-board plate amplifier which accepts RCA or XLR inputs (with XLR loop output) as well as offering an adjustable crossover, LF adjustment, trigger, adjustable gain, select-able power options (off/trigger, auto-on via input sensing, manual-on) and adjustable delay.

Shipping:
I do have the original shipping box, but local pickup is preferred since the packaged weight is 126lbs resulting in typical ground shipping quotes ranging from $250-$350+. If you want to cover the actual shipping cost then I may be willing to ship it provided it is fully insured for the purchase price (contact me for quotes, etc.). I am located in the Eastern area of Kentucky just outside of Pikeville.
Price: [Sold]

If they were installed correctly they are not even touching the brick. Should be foam or some kind of seal to the corner.
The last auction I went to they were C quality and they were run up to a A quality price. There were only 3 of us there and guy on the ''phone'' lol. We all left and they still had entire house of stuff to sell. We figured it was all going to be run up by guy on ''Phone''
I bet these go up to more than 4000 actions are a joke if you ask me. Because they look at the new prices and figure they can get close to that. I bet that pair I went to are still owned by the auctioneer...lol.
I never assume anyone installs/does anything correctly anymore after a couple decades in technical support.

(looking at the last photo), I wonder if they were pushed up against that brick? That's a rather abrasive surface...

Those are beautiful.

Sort of late to the thread by a couple years, but I also use the 118HT. Mine is just the flat black version though. Love your custom finished model!

These are now sold.
Thanks for everyones interest.

15 hours round trip? That's all? I once sold a pair of Belles to a young man and his lovely wife who drove all the way from South Carolina. They made a nice weekend trip out of it.
And, I can put you on the special JimJimbo payment plan......
I know, I am lazy when it comes to travel and I never really get weekends off with the kid’s sports.

If it wasn’t ten hours one way for me, I already would’ve bought these. This set is unreal cool. Not going to lie, I check this thread 2-3 times a week trying to convince myself this is totally worth a 20 hour round trip.
I agree with everyone here. It’s really wild these haven’t sold.
I hear you, 15hrs round-trip for me, keep looking at the thread trying to avoid temptation.

29-hour drive one-way; otherwise, I would grab these.

Price Dropped and since I spent a ton of time extra carefully boxing both back into their original boxes I am removing the RF-83 option from the original post since that is no longer available.
