Silly Bass Bin Stuff

Guess what?

I've found this Celestion S8 sub-woofer (SW).
I listen to a lot a music, LOUD.

I have some Beovox cx50 speakers by Bang&Olufsen.
They make a fine noise but loud they don't really cut it at the bottom end.

Anyhow I saw this strange box with lots of sockets knobs and stuff.
Turns out it was the aforementioned SW.

It didn't work but a bit of fixing up and I now have something to shake buildings with.
In such a small room its probably a health risk but ...
IT ROCKS.
I'M HAVING TO SHOUT 'COZ MOTORHEAD ARE ON.
ASTONISHING.

Jack Cassidy must be next.

The Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil

(from their Woodstock set)


The amplifier seems a bit noisy so maybe more work required, but it's definitely filled the bottom end gap.

He He.

(I'm grinning and old JC hasn't started)

'found'? Where does one find such a thing.

You find these things on the local flea market.
The guy had been touting it for 2 weeks at least that I'd seen. I'd decided it was worth £60 working, £20 as seen, I wanted it for no more than £15.
I asked
He suggested £20
I said £10
We settled
I freaked could have got it for £5.
