Just like you said. There is very little bass. Interestingly, there are more on the C7. But it is not clear to me why this is so. But it’s pretty loud, and that’s true.
I have an M 70, and it's kind of not too close to my heart either. I prefer machines a few years younger ....
thanks for the comment and greetings from Slovenia.

you could check to see if the speaker wires are wires in phase pauly, in other words try connecting 2 wires on one speaker the other way around....once again congrats on you're c9....does the cassette deck work my man?????

I'm going to check out a JVC PC-30 tomorrow for 20 bucks. It was made in 1985 and it is supposed to be in great shape. Anyone have one? How is it?

I have a C7 with a working cassette player, and the C9 is a bit annoying ...I checked the speaker phases,polaritet..., thanks anyway. I will jokingly connect speakers from C7 to it tomorrow, FOR THE PURPOSE OF CURIOSITY ....

I agree with the polarity of the speaker wiring sometimes they get it backwards you have to plug one in listen to it then plug the other one in and make sure you're satisfied with it then leave it alone. I noticed on my c7 that from the factory the woofers were out of phase which led to almost no bass.

Yes, I also bought a JVC PC-5 a long time ago, which had, inside the box, wrong
inverted soldered wires. They probably it while changing the edges,foam of the speakers ... And then when you turn on one speaker, it kind of plays about, but when you turn on another, the bass disappears even more, of course.

I've heard a C9 and a C7, the C9 easily has more bass than the C7. It's just a "tight" type of bass that needs to be cranked up. Replacing the speakers would definitely help, some people have done that with good results. Or you could try adding some fiber fill inside, but it won't work as good as replacing the speakers will.

It is not clear to me how this is possible. The C9 is much more powerful, but that the C7 has a deeper bass. I’ll really explore a little more of it all together. Insulation inside comes first, but it doesn't give any deeper bass, yes, the sound is immediately more pleasant, because there is no such plastic rumble ... Maybe today ... Thank you.

And yes, of course the speakers will remain original, because for HI FI listening to music I mostly use the PHILIPS system with Philips F 9638 MFB speakers. Anyone who knows this or has heard these speakers knows what I'm talking about. And sometimes the HITACHI HS 30G. They are not bad either ...

I opened up and did a little research on the speakers from both SANYO boomboxes, the C7 and C9. Interestingly, the C7 has wooden boxes with a bass reflex channel and a speaker with a softer diaphragm mount, while the C9 has plastic housings and a closed speaker system. And it has a really strong speaker, but I find the sponge to be a little stiffer as well. However, I covered the plastic speakers a bit with felt and the sound is a bit softer.
I also apologize to everyone for my bad English, I also help myself a little with the translator ...

I prefer the c7 I always thought the c9 just looked like a stretched out c7 with exaggerated speakers. The c7 has a much more pleasing shape. I don't think I've seen a higher quality wooden speaker cabinet on a three-piece boombox then what the c7 has.

Raje imam c7, za katerega sem vedno mislil, da je c9 videti kot raztegnjen c7 s pretiranimi zvočniki. C7 ima veliko bolj prijetno obliko. Mislim, da nisem videl bolj kakovostne lesene omarice za zvočnike na trodelnem boomboxu od tistega, kar ima c7.

Well, there are a few more ...

 

[Radio raheem]

Well me personally if it looks good and sounds good that's a winner, however if the sound is poor it's out the door as i have good hifi and use that these days, i only have 3 1 piece left and there great, that's enough for me....i want to dig out the jvc pc x 1000 but try lifting one of those lol
