Hi
Im new to these forums. I have a couple of large old cabinets lying around, My old band was given them by a recording studio as they had no more use for them. I am not currently in a band but im keen to get back into it and if I do i think I may setup a bit of a PA/Home studio (nothing too flash) but something good for practaces and a bit or recording.
I was wondering if these speakers are worth using? The surrounds on one of the low range speakers has come apart but I can get that fixed for a pretty decent price.
Getting into the speakers. The cabinets are large and house 2x 15" speakers in each one. The low range is a JBL Pro 2234H 15" and the midrange is a Urei 604-8G 15" with a horn in the centre of it. Im guesing these are old as the Urei speaker has a date 12/13/79 on the back (im assuming this is a date) I will add a link to photos at the bottom of thist post. There is also a what looks to be a crossover? wired up to I think the horn speaker, I cant remember from when I took the photos but I think thats what its connected to. There are 3 inputs on the back where you just screw the speaker wire into, Low Mid and High.
What im wondering is what equipment would I need to make use of these speakers? I understand I will need a Mixer and an amp to power them but will I need some sort of crossover? money is a bit of a problem so I want to keep cost to a minimum, Could these speakers run without a crossover or would it damage them without one? If i didnt need a crosover would it would best to wire all 3 speakers in series as the JBL speaker is rated 8ohms.
I do not know alot about the technical side of electronics/speakers but I do know a little and I can pick it up pretty quick so I thought I would ask you guys who will know a whole lot more.
Here are some photos of the speakers http://www.101tom.orcon.net.nz/speakers/
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tom
