Much RESPECT to oldschool 69

[Radio raheem]

for me if i don't like the looks of a box i won't even consider it no matter how good it sounds ,i can't get past the ugly long enough to enjoy the sound i passed up a perfectly good free panny rxdt 680 something cd box i just hated the looks of it.

homie if a box is ugly to me i just dont buy it with one exeption the aiwa 880 what an ugly motherplucker hence she spends most of her time in the back room

 

[Radio raheem]

funny how you keep comparing mid-80s 3-piece boxes to the M90. :cat:

Yup bry your wright it's no m90 but its just me the 90 has been my benchmark for years

Can the undies be Made in Venezuela? Clean or dirty? One last thing, inside out?

I forgot to say they had been on inside out Saves on washing

 

[floyd]

like women if i got to listen to it i better be able to at least stand to look at it or whats the point .

 

[Radio raheem]

WHOA!!!
This is huge. Undies in the speaker cabinet improve the sound?
Somebody chime in on the science of this please.
Iv'e seen a few speaker cabinets that use a dampening for sound but not many.
If this is good, why didn't they all do it?
Should I try this for my Lasonic L-30?
I've got a fist full of undies right now and I'm getting ready to stuff them.

Cheers OSS

Insulation can be good for some boxes dampens down rattles etc and for me in this boxes case aswell as improving this boxes sound a hole lot imho

It actually gives this box a warmer richer sound, do some experiments see how you get on oss but sometimes i have been known to remove the padding

You can be the only judge on how you like your sound, im just a fussy ol git

hab nen spezi an der angel der mir alles macht, er hat mir auch meinen discolite super günstig gemacht, falls du nicht weißt wo du es hin schaffen sollst, good luck

Floyd if you passed up a free 680 then sound is certainly not your sole priority.

I love my 680, 780 and 980 but they are by no means lookers and would be downright dreadfully boring if it wasn't for the few gold touches.

Couldn't agree more, the "Platinum" series of Panny boxes are certainly not lookers...but they do thump hard.

!!!WARNING SCIENCE CONTENT!!!

Ahem.... usually in speaker box building this is call dampening, usually this is used in sealed and ported or "bass Reflex" Boxes. what it does is slow down the rear wave coming from the woofer and in turn this makes the speaker enclosure seem bigger than it is, witch also improves bass response. this method is more commonly used in sealed speaker boxes where space is an issue. it also helps get rid of the "hollow" sound some speaker boxes have. id recommend using this dampening technique on 3-piece boomboxes cuz the dampening material placed in a one piece boombox might interfere with the heat-sinks and act as a blanket.
and speaking from experience, it does improve bass response, i have a sanyo 3-Piece that now rivals my TRC931.

the industry standard is usually poly-fill (the stuff found in pillows and stuffed animals)
....but i guess underwear works just as well

 

[oldskool69]

Well!!!!....

Thanks Tim! I told you, any box can only be judged when fully working! Now get that Sharp GX-300H right!

As far as damping material...

I do have the factory damping material in mine and it's prety thick. It's also adhered into place. I couldn't tell you about the "Fruit of The Loom" factor but I'm glad it's working for you. You will enjoy it very much.

And thanks for posting the pic of my WF-939z!

About 6 months ago i bought a boombox known as the sharp 939 Its a big 3 peice with a spectrum A

Well At first i was happy with the box but that soon wore off It just sounded awful I wasnt sure why speakers did not sound right etc

the box soon found it's way to the slumber of my cuboard as I was very dissapointed in it.

Fast forward 6 months to yesterday I just had to dig the box out and yup same old it sounded like a bag of sheit.

So i took the speakers apart thinking there must be something i can do, I put 3 spair par of undies in each speaker yes undies

then screwed the boxes back togeather as tight as i could then sprayed all the graphic sliders with electrical sprey cleaned and alighned the heads

BEen playing it all night but on a very low volume but from that i could tell the sound had improved drimatically

Anyway i am now playing it cranked up ITS like using a TOTALLY different box it is MEGA loud and sounds AMAZING

THiS box with RESPECT to m90 owners REALY is an m90 killerI just cant explain it she sounds SUPERB If anything she has to much bass

The only thing that would put the m90 in front for me is her dolby systems cuz anybody that knows me knows i love dolby

With a 10 band eq the sound imaging is endless on this box and the spectrum A is just to die for

These boxes can be had cheap for what they are from china and even apear on ebay usa so it should be quite easy to get one...


one last thing the speakers are REAL flat diaphram square speakers with a hefty mag to boot.

SORRY for doubting you on this one freddie THIS is without a doubt my new fave box

Thanks so much for recommending one fred im after another one

how does it compare to the 680 in sound?
Especiallyy the bass?

The 680 has a much richer bass than the 939 but the 680 lacks the power of the 939 and the looks, im not ashamed to admit it now the 680 bass blows away the m90 but it just dosent have those classic looks

 

[Ghettoboom767]

The Sharp 939 is on my list of boomers to get!
Great from all I've heard!
I heard Freddies at the meet-very loud!!
I'll have to get one someday!~"
Have a good one-GB.
