what are DQ-10's worth

faster100

what are DQ-10's worth? I might have some inline today.. only don't know if they work yet.. But the price is damm right!!! FREE


Thank you,

faster100

well i picked them up.. They do work.. the woofs need refoaming.. I may be taking them tonight for the refoam job, 29 bucks each sound ok for a refoam of a old advent 10"?? I will post pictures later after i clean them up..

I thought the going rate was more like $20, but if it's quality work from someone you trust then by all means.

It's actually a 9.5 inch woofer, in a 12" basket with a fiberboard ring.

$30 a woof isn't robbery, assuming everything works, and they are clean (or you clean them up), they can bring $250-$400 / pair - depending of course if someone in your area is looking for them.

Cheers,
Russ

so i assume these are pick up only type sales.. I want to sell them.. I have the grills and everything, the tweets and mid works great, i disconected the woofer and am taking it to speaker world locally.. The guy sounds real knowledgable and knew what speakers these were, when about they were made and said he had the foam and parts if they needed fixing.. Im gonna clean the speakers, dust off and the cloth wiped. the cross over is covered in dust.. The woofs should be done thursday he said.. I will post cleaned pictures later tonight... Thanks for the info.. These have brown sides and black grill cloth, and a metal grill to cover the back guts

Do you have the stands?

RuSsMaN

No one ever has the stands Jesse, come on.

F1nut

That's right Russ, that's why I asked because if he did then they would be worth MO money.

It would probably cost close to 30 bucks for the refoam kit anyway so 60 bucks isn't too bad. They are REALLY easy to refoam though.....I just did an 8" Advent (my first attempt at this)and it was very easy.

faster100

well this guy gives 10% discount if you pay at dropoff.. He said they looked Real nice.. we actually started talking audio.. he/they actually design and build custom speakers in house.. on a small scale.. custom veneer to match.. nice work.. me and another customer and him were chatting and listening to a pair of his designed speakers... Nice guy and knows alot from the short time speaking with him... So it was 54.00 for the refoam.... knew alot about the Dq 10's... im gonna clean them shortly here..

No stands.. but i May purchase a pair i seen today to make them worth more..

Not taking the way they sound into account, those things are butt freakin' ugly man.

I completely agree....ugly as a pair of blue twinkies during a yeast infection.

RuSsMaN

For what you've got in 'em, I'd put the smart money on keeping them for a 2ch rig.

Not knocking your current gear, but they are lightyears ahead of the other speakers you own.

Cheers,
Russ

F1nut

Agreed, run them with a sub and you've got a killer 2 channel rig.

faster100

they need cleaning more.. they really do look good in person imo..

faster100

you guys really think thier ugly? The camera brings out the dust big time. Im going to clean them some more tomorrow.. Glue back the grill cloth on the bottoms. and tuner cleaner the crossover after i get some.. I already old englished the wood panels so they look nice now... after i get the refoamed woofs.. i plan to demo them and enjoy their unique sound... But they are to big for my small florida room.. 2 channel rig room.. They will be resold on e-bay, eventually... A neighbor was gonna toss them out and i intervened and asked for them, I got them free and now am getting the woofs refoamed for the resale.. Otherwise i would part them out.. which i don't want to do.. and wont

Don't forget the Armour All:D

faster100

Nah, i wouldn't think of it... actually i have cleaned so many items for resale.. ive kinda got a knack for making things look nice.. or restored, Armor all however has its place when trying to replenish old rubber, Just not speakers:)

dorokusai

This isn't a speaker that you "part out", because it won't get you much money anyways....but beings you paid nothing, I guess it's moot.

You should just throw them in the trash, like your neighbor.....because you have no idea what the heritage, or history is on that speaker.

Not every piece of gear, and/or great deal that finds oneself is meant for immediate Ebay auction.

Have fun with them, good luck.

faster100

Oh get over it!! My bread my friend is buying and selling.. I would part it out if they werent in such good shape period..

I will sell these speakers and buy my wife her Anniversary gift ive been saving for, It means more to me then some older speakers that you guys deem priceless.. it wasnt my "neighbor friend".. It was a few streets up if you want/ need to know the facts/// I came across them after a bike ride with my kids... I asked if they were trash and they said yes, take them.. I had to wait for my wife to come home with the truck to get them... and my mom stopped by so i used her car and picked them up, hence the time frame of me posting and actually getting them, Im putting almost 60 bucks into them to make some money for other things... I truely would consider keeping them if i had the room, Ask spastic how small my Fla. room is and house for that matter.. no room for DQ-10's... I already stated i wouldnt part them out... Sorry for posting to the speaker god and not pleaseing you with my plans :rolleyes:

My my how things don't change around here...


edit: what Mark, your time to start rideing my **** now?? Everyone else has seemed to be pretty good lately, I guess all good things must end eh!
