Hello, anyone out there? :wave:
Google search brought me here and I signed up because I am extremely frustrated.
A few years ago I re-foamed my Cerwin Vega DX-3 floor-standing loudspeakers. I did not remove the dust caps and I think I followed the instructions to a T. After the repair was done and I hooked them up, there was pretty much no bass and the sound was scratchy and weak.
Unfortunately I didn't follow up due to life changes and I pretty much ignored big sound for a number of years. Recently moved and want to get my private listening station up and running again, but my Vegas are still shot. There are no holes, the cones are sound, the cabinets as flawless as the day I bought them, and I can see no outward signs of damage. The Monster cables are intact. I have looked inside the cabinets, stared at the crossovers and tapped the cones. Wires seem ok. Obviously, I have no idea what I'm doing, desperately need help getting these speakers going.
Have tested them with 2 different receivers, and have also hooked up a set of smaller speakers just to make sure the rest of the equipment is working properly. The problem seems to lie squarely with my speakers.
Any ideas?
