  • @Oystein87

    The two small compact subs mainly costs ALOT more since they need huge amps and DSD tuning to litteraly force bass and some kind of SPL from a physicly too small box. The first ones are bass reflex in a bigger box and higher sensitivity.. So the cheaper subs don't even need the same build quality and amplification to make basicly the same amount of bass or even more. You forgot to mention that part. Even though the two first where VERY basic but regardless.

    The Velodyne has a 6ohm driver and most home subs are 4-6 ohms.. Almost none messure home amps into 2ohms.. The watts they often show is peak into 4ohms instead of continous power like i.e the Velodyne shows.

    It's great to see a qualified audio professional Aussie on UA-cam..! You know I was wondering if I could ask for some advice? I've got a pair of b&w matrix2 series 2 speakers which are still in excellent condition, bar the woofers. I wasn't sure whether it was the woofer driver or the crossover or the voice coil as I'm just an average Joe who likes decent sounds. But I took the chance and replaced the woofers with these drivers called Dynavox 200, as their advice. But this sounds terrible and it sounds nothing like the original, not even close..! I just can't believe they would recommend that garbage! Can you suggest some other options to replace the woofers driver chassis for my b&w matrix2? I really appreciate it..! Keep those videos coming

    • @thehilltopworkshop
      @thehilltopworkshop 3 місяці тому

      Hey! Thanks for the comment, and I'd be happy to help if I can. With something like that, it would be incredibly difficult to find a driver with the same sonic signature. Even for a woofer. If you still have the original drivers, you can get them repaired. Same with the crossovers, if there's a fault with them. Personally, I'd use Queensland Speaker Repairs, but I'm not sure where you're located. 👍👍

    • @Savviiee65
      @Savviiee65 3 місяці тому

      @thehilltopworkshop I think the problem was the woofers, because the sound came back, just not what I had hoped for, in fact it was horrible..! Yes, I kept the originals for both speakers. I'm not sure exactly what is broken, whether it's the diaphragm or the voice coils etc..? I live in Sydney. And thanks for replying..!

      Provided your float level is good and it's not just having a bit of a flood, that sounds like it has a blocked or non-functioning idle circuit. I'd make sure the idle solenoid is working (you should hear it click when you turn the ignition on) and that the idle circuit is clear. My money would be on the solenoid. 👍

    Hi. I have a Davey Pump not unlike what you have. It does the hum and after a while the motor runs. I figure it would be a similar issue like what you highlighted. I replaced the capacitor with another ICAR 8uF (but plastic like what you showed). On replacing it, the motor just hums but will not turn over. I replaced the original and it turned over but over the course of a few days, it started doing the hum and may / may not decide to turn over behaviour again. Just wondering if I can replace it with a 10uF or 12uF capacitor ? I'm awaiting the delivery of a multimeter that can measure capacitance so I can work out if anything is wrong with the capcitor.

    • @thehilltopworkshop

    The 803D are awesome speakers that mostly even where rated better than their bigger brothers not because of their better performance just because of their price to performance level....the 803 D where the entry into the 800 diamond world while still affordable. When i rememer correctly then they where the smallest speakers with diamond tweeter in the 800 D lineup. The smaller speaker didnt have diamont tweeter, at least as i bought my 803 D . Still awesome speakers today i think. These speakers where arround 8000€ a pair with all the 800 series technology on board, just compare that to todays prices of the 800 D4 series.

    Short comment: Great video to show what the insides of commercial subs look like. I had some bad experiences using plate amps from Parts Express 20+ years ago. Long comment: Whenever I build a new subwoofer project I use Crown XLS amps with a line driver like the Rolls MB15B or their subwoofer specific crossover the SX95 because I always use home theater receivers which have low output on the LFE channel. I still use my original XLS2000 my wife got me like 8 years ago. I have had the XLS2000 running (2) 12" Infinity Reference 1262W. Each 12 has its only 4.6 cubic foot down firing down vented enclosure tuned to 21 hz. Currently using the Denon H760 receiver Costco special: LFE channel out to the Rolls MB15B to convert to XLR and raise the voltage so the Crown gain can be left at half. Without the Rolls MB15B the Crown XLS2000 struggled to provide enough power to the subs. With the Rolls I have to be very careful not to melt the voice coils. Each 12" 1262W Infinity Reference ($65 each 8 years ago) can only handle 375 Watts RMS. I did swap out one of the 12" Infinity Reference 1262W's for experiments sake to an Alpine type R 12" when it was on closeout from Crutchfield for like $275. Using Winisd the Alpine Type R did have a slightly deeper and slightly louder sound curve while still maintaining an almost flat response to the upper cutoff of 80hz. It does hit a tiny bit deeper and can handle 750 Watts RMS but it has an aluminum former whereas the Infinity has a high temp plastic Kapton former. From my days doing DB Drag competitions, high temp plastic formers hold up better then aluminum formers. When Aluminum formers over heat they always warp and make that scratchy sound. High Temp plastic formers just give off an offending smell, melt a little of the bonding on the voice coil winding, reduce a bit in impedance, but keep working! Anyway thanks for taking these subs apart and recording it! It is very interesting to see what they use. That Velodyne sub had a huge motor on it!

    • @puciohenzap891
      @puciohenzap891 Місяць тому

      The idea is nice but the sound is very mediocre, that's one of the main culprits of these designs, the tweeter sounding detached from the other drivers. Like clearly having another unit playing on top of everything. The big models are the worst in that regard, the 805 is decent and probably the best of the bunch if you don't need thunderous bass.
