Hello everyone,
I bought a few months ago a pair of RL140, and I had them stored for a while. Now that I have more time, I decided to redo the speaker cloth, so I opened both of them, and found a very very bad surprise inside: the woofers (2 in each speaker) have been replaced by cheap $15 generic 8 ohm speakers of the same size. The sound is horrible, and after digging a little bit, I also find out the the woofers, which are connected in parallel to the crossover, should be 16 ohms (as the entire speaker is 8 ohms).
I have been scammed and have no contact with the seller because it was a while ago (they may not even be aware of what was inside anyway). So I want to repair the RL140s, and I can’t find those parts, let alone finding 4 of them.
Can anyone point me to a good source for those ? Alernatively, I am willing to do a better-than-nothing approach, and replace them with “good enough” 16 ohms drivers if anyone can help me with guessing/estimating the correct specs: 16 ohms, probably around 40-50 watt, precision of 88-93 db, what else ?
Thanks everyone for any help you can provide.
Amine
