Hi new member here. Figured i'd start my own post on this.
Besides crossover maintainence I was wondering if HIPs are better left original or do irreversable mods abound?
Mine are early 80's the black commercial textured, have the metal circular inset woofer grills, slot ports, no metal corner guards etc. They're pretty much mint. Was thinking of adding speaker stand pole mounts on the bottoms.
Does anyone think this mod would be foolish as far as retaining value as being in original condition? Or does the practical commonly trump collectable for these?
I'm thinking both small PA for vocals and or monitors.
Would a tweeter or mid comp driver upgrade be in order to get them up to date with modern equivalents or other than maybe a cap job are they usually left alone fine as is?
Lastly what sub would match well if expanding? Thanks very much, Terry
