 | If this is not the correct forum for this Q, I hope someone can at least
point me in the right direction.
I have just acquired a set of Richter Jaguar speakers and was wanting to try
my hand at tweaking them or get someone to tweak them professionally if it
gets too complicated (I have made kit amps and other electronic kits during
my teenage years but haven't really touched a soldering iron for many
years).
This will be done all in the name of fun and curiosity but I don't want to
stuff 'em up.
A bit of background - The cabinets (rear ported) seem very substantial and
weigh 19kg a piece, and the drivers look to be some sort of polycone
material. They appear substantially made so I'm guessing that they would
make a decent upgrade proposition.
Here's a bit of info I found on the net after much searching.
Recommended Amplifier Power: 20 - 150 Watts
Frequency Response: 40 Hz - 20 kHz
Impedance: 4 Ohms
Sensitivity: 91 dB
Dimensions: H 900 mm x W 245 mm x D 295 mm
Mid/Woofer: 2 x 200mm
Tweeter: 1 x 25mm dome
Crossover: 2-way
Enclosure: Single vent reflex
A few quick Q's.
1. Will be any significant sound improvements from upgrading?
2. Are the drivers worth the component upgrade, and are they the same used
in more expensive Richter models)
2. What is the best path to upgrading them. eg. New crossover components
(new crossover?), Better internal wiring (what wire to use?). New baffling
material? Mucking around with port?
3. Will it cost a bomb and take a lot of time and effort (bit time poor with
family commitments), or better off just getting someone who knows what
they're doing to do it?
Any advice much appreciated,
Regards
Emu
