  1. That is the one I used, arrived in 2 days after ordering. Lil Mike sells thur DIY soundgroup and it's preferred over tang brand. Both are recommended by lili mike but testing shows 704 to be slightly better. I use a 100 watt per channel stereo integrated amp with a 20 hz sub sonic filter. Filter is recommend so sub is not over driven, speaker is actually a mid woofer. You could use a plate amp but personally I never like them, hard to adjust and more work to mount. Hopefully more knowledgeable people will come along and suggest an amp of your choosing. I got mine amp off cls for 40 bucks used. I did not build an access door or terminal for speaker. (Lazy) Speaker is wired direct and runs out front of sub box. The more I listen to these the more I like them, covers low end nicely. The fill in nicely with both chorus II's and revel b15 upfront. I haven't even adjust them just hooked them set avr to 60 hz they sound great right out of the box. Carl posted another thread on this subject you might want to read. ( 25hz tapped horn - It's in the sub section) Let me know if you have any questions.
  2. Academy black -225 , rc62ii -175, belles -3000 Atlanta craigslist.
  3. You will need to read and follow directions but pretty the stain gets mixed in with product. Read a review where a customer did not the follow mix stain directions pics shown where not good. If you need to stain further I dap some stain on and let it dry. Most likely stain will just come if you try rub it in. If you don't like results gentle steel wool, clean dap and let dry again.
  4. Screw is an interesting idea. Stain match is difficult, usually you have to mix stain in with the product before applying. Mini wax has a 2 part that is suppose to except stain. The mini wax product above may work but it doesn't state if it gets hard. I would want a product that gets hard for durability.
  5. After looking at pics I did some quick research, seems wood putty has advanced since I last use it. The wood puttys available now get very hard when compared to bondo. If you do some research there are slightly different methods and products to choose from. One thing you do want to do is sand the bad spots and clean them out for good adhesion. I like to you to a compressor and blow out all dirt and dust.
  6. I prefer bondo but pics would help. Bondo should be easier to work with.
  7. Not sure if this would work. Maybe you could fold a piece tape gentle push it on cap then pull on it to see if cap rises. If you push on speaker cone do heard any scraping noise, voice coil? From the video the bottom left edge of dust cover looks loose?
  8. Looks like dust cap is loose and buzzing, will have to be glued. Might as well check cabinet's for leaks also. When I did my klf 10's I took out a woofer and gentle pulled on motherboard then pushed on back cabinet board. Both where loose and had to be reglued. Others will join in and may have a better idea on how to check for leaks. Good luck!
  9. Finally got 1 of the subs running correctly, I need a y Jack to get the other going. Not an spl monster but puts out nice clean bass and digs fairly low. Got it set at 60hz with 20 sub filter on amp. Running my b15 up front and 1lil Mike next to the sofa. Fills the room - rear nicely without dragging the front stage back. Really like sub so far, 2 should be even better. Let me know if you have any questions. Have both working set at 60hz, delivers nice clean bottom end when needed.😁
  10. Easily reversible, PE has that 4" by 12"port you can cut down. Just make sure you measure before you purchase if you go this route.
  11. Sorry I just picked a quote at ramdon without thinking. Good points I have a pair of klf 10's that had cabinet issues, loose front and rear panels.
  12. Chorus II work best in a corner.,could be wrong but I think klf 20's might be a little more placement friendly.
  13. I would try the port's, PE has some 4" by 12" ports that could be cut down. If you try ports measure your speakers first, if I remember correct the speaker ports/holes are just under 4". You could also change out the woofer cap to poly if hasn't been done. Maybe a different woofer could get you where you want to be, probably easier than finding and buying a pair of II's. Good luck with what ever you decide to do! You could also try bracing, but other owners have good and bad to say about it.
  14. Understand . Appreciate the offer but I also have a pair of chorus I's. My listen room is 17 by 11 by 8 and my 2's fill the room nicely with bass, I just like the extra bottom end subs give me.
  15. Curious why you want ditch the sub? I have chorus II and they do have good bass but I still like running mine with a sub.
  16. Now just need a nice pair of subwoofers.😁
  17. Wharfedale pro mp 1200 - Was using this amp as a quick check before I hooking up yamahs ax 592. 592 has a sub sonic filter mp 1200 does not but was in rack - easy to hook up. Used the mp1200 to run my revel b15 with no problems, revel had a bad amp.
  18. I did finish but the sub out on my martanz receiver quit working. Checked to make sure sub out was on, tried different sound and speaker modes, nothing. I did run it from a main pre out it didn't sound very good, low bass spl. I know these are not known for SPL but I had it right next to my head on a table behind sofa, almost nothing. I have an old Sony 444es with pre outs I need to hook up, not looking forward to dealing 7.1 wiring rats nest. I will try to get it hooked up in the next few days, its scare looking behind the receiver.
  19. If you want something with a bit of a bite see if Dave A has any drop horns with a de 120 tweeter.
  20. I have tried my Carver and hafler amps and they sound different but harness is still there. When I listen to rock with strong electric guitars it's really noticeable. Other music without electric guitars they sound great with little to no harshness, I listen to mostly classic rock. Didn't get much done on these today. It was nice out so I worked outside building frames for sound panels and diffusers. I am going pull the horns and xovers out tonight and rope caulk the horns before I go to bed. Busy week so may not get as much done on them as I would like this week, thanks for all the help so far.
  21. That is an interesting idea! It has digital tone controls and I forgot I have treble bumped up s little from running the chorus's. I will play with it tomorrow.
  22. I have a Dayton audio 68uf poly in my chorus II's and love the bass. Again sorry I may not have explained correctly, I have sonic caps already from previous projects. I will definitely be using budget caps if I do decide to buy any. Will have to decide of I want to use a poly in woofer path, cost will be the deciding factor. Would be an interesting experiment, chorus II's do sound good with poly's in them.
  23. Going to pull xovers in the morning, hopefully I will have some sonic caps I can use. Is it a bad idea to replace only the caps in tweeter/horn pathway and any electroytic's, bass is fine. Knew erse made electronic components didn't know they caps, may have to check into those.
  24. I will do work myself, going look inside and see what I need. ( what type of caps are being used ) I do have some sonic caps laying around.
