Decorator Heresy 1976

Well,

I have been working on a pair of these for the last two weeks now. Refinishing the cabinets, rebuilding the crossovers ( Bob) and such.

My question is- Have the speaker wires inside broken down after all this time? If they have, what type of wire would you guys suggest I use?

Thanks

Peter

I will post some pictures later if anyone is interested.

You might go with a heavier gauge wire, but don't look for much encouragement here in support of a noticeable difference in the sound. I'd like to do this too, but everytime I get started somebody slaps me around and brings me back to reality. Go for it, though, I say.

Hey BS,

I have seen those before on the Forum and they are very nice. I will try to send a picture of my project as part of this post. I guess I will have to think about replacing the wire. I don't see any thing visibly wrong with the old ones. I just thought it might make a difference.

Thanks

Peter

I've got a pair of '76 HDBB's, and the wiring is still in great shape.

Thought about replacing it, but since they're stock & mint

(speakers were kept inside a cabinet with doors on it) I figured I'd

leave 'em the way they were.

I upgraded the wiring in my Cornwalls, as the previous owner had the

woofers rebuilt. Apparently, he pulled the wires out attached to the

woofers - and then lost 'em. When I got 'em, they were wired with

really thin stuff, like what comes with cheap car speakers.
