Title: 12" Passive Radiatiors...
Post by: gdv on October 28, 2019, 03:36:51 PM

Anyone have any 12" PR's laying around?  If so, how much?

A friend has some ESS AMT 1's with the heil tweeter...  I repaired/replaced the foam surrounds on the PR's many years ago, but is due for another "upgrade!"  :)  I may just put on new surrounds again...


TIA,
George

If I understand correctly, PRs are tuned to the box similarly to woofers (material weight, excursion, etc.).   I would think refoaming would be preferable to replacement.

Looks like this might be the ticket...

Seems so.
