K...just picked up a set of Castle Warwick speakers 🙂
From my old catalogue, it looks like these were the first version. So I hooked them up and they actually sound really nice...smooth and natural toned but I did notice a lack of bass output.
I have a set of original Clyde's and they put out more bass and they are in a smaller box!! Hmmmm...
Being the guy that I am, I pulled out the bass driver...what the?? The whole box is packed with foam layering!! Top to bottom!! I pulled out one piece only to find another grey ridged foam which I am assuming is a type of acoustical foam and then below that is another full piece of yellow foam!!
I removed all three pieces and there, screwed to the back of the box is the crossover which is what I expected...I was wanting to replace the caps and solder the wire directly anyway so at least I had a look LOL!!!
But why all the foam?? It's a front ported speaker...shouldn't one piece be enough?? Removing some should at least give me more bass correct??
Hope someone can explain 🙂
Thanks kindly!!!
