CECAA850 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 These were pretty much a mess when I got them. One speaker had the correct crossover and one had a crossover from the version 1. Both of the crossovers had components that were loose and about to fall off. The tweeter diaphragms were good but made of completely different material. The grills had some screws and spacers missing. In the process of rebuilding them I installed new Crites crossovers. I then purchased 2 other caps from Bob and dropped the squawkers by 2dB. I also installed 2 of Bobs titanium diaphragms in the tweeters. The missing screws and spacers for the grills were replaced and the woofer and horns all got new gaskets. They're sonically perfect and sound fantastic. The squawkers have tractrix horns and titanium diaphragms from the factory if memory serves me correctly. 3 years ago I brought them to the gathering in Hope and several members commented on how good they sounded. Reason for sale? I recently purchased a new pair of 396's and need money for the amp I want to drive them with. These can be auditioned in Beaumont TX or can be delivered at no charge to the Pilgrimage in hope in a couple months. I have $400 in parts invested in these plus the cost of the speakers themselves. I'd like to get $900 for them. Please PM me if you think my price is out of line. These rarely come up so it was hard to find an average price. You can use them to DJ without a sub or they make a killer garage system which is what I used the for the last couple years. Thanks for looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I can certainly take more pictures for those interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 It would be simple to pull the grills and drivers and trim, re-roll the cab, spray the grills and have something that looked AND sounded brand new. I just have no time at the moment to pull that off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Those look great and am sure that they sound better that they look. Win win. GLWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Very nice, I sure wish something like this would pop up in my neighborhood. It's interesting that you decreased the mid output, I've never had the 301's but have had a few pairs of the 250 II's with that same mid driver and found them to be rather laid back and not over-powering like the k-53 / 701 combo in the original 250's. Good luck with your sale and congrats again on the new 396's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your sale and congrats again on the new 396's! It would be easy to go back to the stock setting as i think I still have the original caps that came in Bob's boards but they sound really good as is. Ive never had a speaker that can project like these either. I'd love to keep them but they'd be in storage and they need to be played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I think they look sweet, you should have no problem finding an interested party. I wouldn't even inquire about shipping to MI with these as I can imagine they weigh a ton. GLWS! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim The nice thing is if someone from that part of the country comes to Hope they can be carivaned back to you for free. I don't know the exact weight but yes they're heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
