I have a pair of Eminence woofers that were used for passive subs I no longer have. I'd hate to scrap these. There's one catch you pay shipping. They are heavy monsters I do not have pictures or exact model number right now but can Email that info to you. I also have metal cages to go over them. The cages go with the woofer so do not ask to separate.

Thanks


no number no guessing first come first serve......

    I may be interested depending on the model number.

    thanks guys. Enders also reached out to me. So first I give Dave some shipping quotes. If he passes Enders said he would take them when he comes over in April as he will be driving to my area.

    Face I will put up some info tomorrow just so everyone knows. I'm sure Dan will have a ton of questions on his project he has in mind, so who knows maybe they will not work for that I do not know for sure either way I'm going to be open book here its the only way I know:smile:

    Just so its knows what my thought process is here.....

    One word.....

    SONOTUBE.........

    Ivan gave me plans a LONG TIME AGO from a buddy of his for a HUGE sonotube that uses 2 15" opposed drivers and is tuned to 17hz. I am thinking this might be good for that... or if not that, possibly 2 sonotubes for a stereo set powered by either a plate amp, or a pro amp (so I can set levels)...

    That would highly depend on the drivers in question. For example, the Alpha 15A would require a Sonotube volume of 85ft^3 if you want an F3 in the 20's. :D

    V = pi*r^2*h. 15 inches diameter (ish) means 85 ft^3 = pi * (0.625ft)^2 * h; h = 68 feet (length of Sonotube if it were exactly 15" in diameter).

    No problem! ;-)

    Guess The Alpha Eminence might not be the best choice...

    I'm going to pass. It's a great Karma and very generous of you, but I was thinking stereo sonotubes and it looks like open baffle would be best and that's something I haven't done before and others can make a better project out of it..

    Found this on ebay, lists a max RMS, but no real stats... still digging:

    Also this nugget
    this MCM/Eminence is 55-765 built in 1998 - 'think'(?) its like current Delta Pro- (bet DJK knows) - good driver

    These were used in a Altec Voice of the Theater boxes with a pair of 3" ports that were 2" long. I covered the front on the VOT box with 1" MDF glued and screwed and cut the back to accommodate the 15" driver so I had a nice wood front. XO was crossed @ 90Hz the rest went to my Cerwin Vega D7's sub/sat like combo(before I knew better) so I know they can be used in a box. They were fed with a Carver TFM45. You could blow out a candle at 5' EASILY.

    Eminence is fairly responsive:

    Just email the spec number to info@eminence.com along with a note that you would like a copy of the params and we will gladly forward that information to you if available. Please include either your email address or fax number. You will find the spec number on a small label attached to either the side of the magnet or the inside one of the basket arms with our spec number and manufacturing/date code on it. The spec number will begin with the size of the speaker (i.e. for a 10" it would be 101123).

    So they need that 15869 #. The other number just tells you it's from the 13th week of 1995.

    Gallo Ref AV, Frankengallo Ref 3, LC60i : Bryston 9b SST : Meridian 565
