realistic mach one speakers!!!

[harley .guy07]

im looking at a onkyo int. and tuner with speakers (that i will never use)

guy wants 100, but its old stuff so im thinking ima like it!

Is there anything i should do to the mach's when i get them?????

Maybe fix the dust caps and clean them up in general. Maybe hook them up again just to make sure there are not any problems with them that you might have missed. I have a friend that has a pair of them in storage and he said that one thing he liked about them is that they were reliable. And I agree the horn tweets are generally reliable and can put out a good amount of sound without overload. They look ok in the pictures and will probably provide you with a good starting point for a good solid system.

As far as the onkyo int. amo goes I am not sure which model you are looking at and how old it is but I have worked with Onkyo stuff before and generally speaking it seems to be pretty good stuff. Just remember to look at what you can get else where for the money before buying. good luck.

ima cheap person, so i always look for the best deal!

should i suck them out with a vac or use a bent paper clip to pop out the indent?

ima take a look at the crossover when i pick them up.

I think im going to sell my jbls before i pick them up, theres no room for them and i would like to use the extra money in my system to get it where it needs to be!

I've used a good quality tape in the past to pull out the dust caps. Axiom has a section on their website that will show you how to do this. I would not use paper clips because you will have to put a whole in your dust caps and that might look worse than the dents. I have heard of the vacuum cleaner thing but have never tried it. I would look at Axioms sight and that will give you the direction I think you need to go to fix this problem. As far as the crossovers you could take a look at them to make sure they have not been altered or changed in the past and to check the caps and coils for damage. I had to take the crossover out of my Paradigm monitor 7 just a few months ago and replace a capacitor that blew. Usually if there is a crossover component that is bad you will notice it in the sound of the speakers. Either the tweeter or woofer will have a different sound or you will notice that either are getting frequencies that they shouldn't be getting. But also you could check them out just for a learning experience to see how they are built and why they sound the way they do. Have fun!

I'm sorry the dust cap fix is on you tube and you type in axiom dust cap fix and it should pop up and it has a video that shows you how to fix this problem.
