goblin Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Does anyone know what drivers the 2103x uses? I'm not worried about the celestions, it's the 5" ones I'm interested in. Looking at one at the moment but been informed that it'll need a new 5", anyone got any ideas on it? Quote
stevie Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) The 5" drivers were made by Audax. They were very nice but haven't been available for well over a decade. You could try to get them reconed but they won't be the same, as the original cones are no longer made. I have a couple of used Fane Studio 5Ms, which are a much better driver with a cast chassis, that I could sell you for a good price if you're stuck. Edited July 10, 2012 by stevie Quote
VTypeV4 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 The later 4 x 5" 'bright boxes' came equipped with fostex drive units. I expect theyre much in the same vein as the Audax units but I'm unaware of their availability. The Fane option above is probably a good one also.. Quote
goblin Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Cheers guys, how much would you be asking for the Fanes Stevie? Quote
stevie Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Because you're from Barnsley, I'd let them go for £20 each. New ones cost nearly £80 and these have only just had their surrounds renewed. Quote
goblin Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 I don't know if you're seeing being from up'tarn as a good or bad thing that's definitely a good offer and I'll keep it in mind I'm going looking at the cab on Sunday I think, so I'll keep you posted Quote
goblin Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 Well I went and got the cab yesterday. Something sounded really bad with it, so took a punt not entirely sure how much it'd cost / which drivers were gunna get me. Got it home and first thing I checked was the wiring and broke out the switch cleaner, this has helped massively, so I'm going to run it for a couple of weeks and then see which driver gets worse as there is still an ever so slight crackle lingering Quote
NoirBass Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Some good info here: http://ozbassforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8705&start=15 Quote
goblin Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 Okay had it looked at by my dad and he's found the issue, bottom 10" driver's stuffed. Pulled the driver today just to see what it had in, it's got 200 watt 16 Ohm Celestions. Did they ever do an uprated 2x10?? Quote
