I don't think Jason will mind me posting his PM to me discussing it, I will leave out the upgraders name though
"I dropped off a pair of cerwin dx-7s to him and told him to make them sound like a million bucks. Well he called and there done 1250$ I was like Whoa .. I guess he switched out tweeters rebuilt midrange speakers somehow,completely built new crossovers with clarity caps,ran a transmission line, somehow adjusted woofers to right curve ,got rid of old binding posts and put on new ones"
Still seems mighty expensive to me
$1250 can get a really nice set of speakers.......
I am just wondering why a great woofer would need to be "recurved". Just out of curiosity, how do you recurve a woofer (I am assuming this has to do with matching to the crossover????) Mids are fine in the Vega's, why would they need to be rebuilt? The tweets can be a little harsh so I can understand that... I looked up Clarity caps and they seems pretty inexpensive overall. Again, I know shit about this stuff but I am concerned a good friend is getting taken advantage of. Even if labor rate is high, how much time is really needed soldering in a few caps? Binding posts??? Why? The stock ones are fine
Oh and a transmission line from one speaker to the other so they can talk lmao but what I was told
Yup, I believe Jason has been taken. This guy needs to be exposed as to who and what he is.
This shit happens though, I have a well know and reputable guy (or was) that refoamed my Alon woofers and did them wrong. That took several weeks. I sent them back and now about 7 months later I have a hard time reaching him and wonder if I'll ever get them back. I should have just sent them to Carl (guy that designed and built them) but he wanted $400 plus shipping. It was only foam from what could be seen but non of the money was refundable even if it was just foam. Thing that really shocked me is I'd had several speakers done by Ken in the past with no issue.
In an event to call out the speaker repair bums maybe we should start a WARNING! thread.
Mine is Ken at Upland Loudspeaker Repair in Upland, CA.

That's partially my fault for not following up I guess. Just trying to make myself fell better lol. If I get there and they suck I will get my 300$ back and walk away!! I've got plenty of speakers so if need be I will be 1 set short lol
