Guest Anonymous Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Deano, great job on those DQ10's, I really miss em, and you gots em, nicest I ever seen. How day sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Nope, don't have them anymore. I bought 'em, built 'em up -- then sold 'em. As great as they sounded -- once you get your ears dialed in to the horn sound, everything else just sounds a bit dry. I wouldn't mind taking another stab at them and loading them up with different drivers. The show stopper was the midwoofer, but I think I've finally found a replacement that will work -- which ends a three year search. So, I'm ready for a new summer project with these, but need to find a good pair to work with. I want a set that are in decent shape to begin with because I really don't feel like spending a month sanding and painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the material you put over the back of the midbass? 2. What did you replace the midbasses with? I am told these are the hardest to replace of the DQ-10 drivers.

Deang Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 1. What is the material you put over the back of the midbass? It's felt, just like what was there to begin with -- just better quality (F1). 2. What did you replace the midbasses with? I am told these are the hardest to replace of the DQ-10 drivers. I just bought six of the drivers, I haven't used any of them yet. I bought two for the project, two for a friend of mine, and two to put back. Better hurry, they only have 723 of them left. Oh yeah, they're expensive too. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=299-495 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 This thread brought me some good luck. I got to build a set of these for someone this week. Not done until I get the inductors off his old boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom3 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 Very nice Dean, and thanks for the info. I probably would use SEAS H143 for the mid bass. They are about the flattest (amplitude response) midrange cone I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 You have to match all of the driver parameters of the original Philips -- does the Seas do this? If not, you will have to make changes to the network. Not for the faint of heart -- it sure ain't no Klipsch Type A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
