In Picture '006'

did you modify your Sharp GF-9000 with different woofer's?

Did this Change the sound any?

 

ghettoman - 2011-12-21 18:09

hey man,Koooool collection,so it was you that bought that GF9000 off ebay..how does it sound with those new bass ? i messaged the seller and asked him what make they were and how many ohms,but he never replied,the ohms on most sharp bass are 3.2 ohm,but most replacements are 4ohm,if you use anymore than that e.g 8ohm,the amp will sound

dull,and it will overload the Sound I.C and it will overheat and blow the amp chip..

out of all your boxes,this is going to surprise you,but my fave is the goodmans power master,my mate had one in the late 80s and i always liked them,they dont sound that fantastic but i just have a soft spot

Good to see a couple of 3Ds in there.

 

See how they're a necessary part of every decent boomer collection, people? 

driptip - 2011-12-22 06:32

yeah i agree, you got most of the quality ones, and the 9000 with the new speakers cought my eye, like james says, how does it sound? i am not a big fan of mod's.

How did you come by so many amazing boxes dude, in the UK? . . .

 

Great collection, you have some all time greats in there.

 

Cool mk1 escorts you got goin on too, you got any real ones?! - I'm a big fan of all things rear wheel drive and ford from that era, had a nice mk11 escort once but prices on them have gone crazy so it don't look like I'll be behind the wheel of another one anytime soon . . .

yer much better with those other drivers,iv contacted the seller as iv just bought another one and wanted to put the same drivers in it and he said he bought them on line a long time ago!

i agree about the power master,i used to play around with it in dixons back in the day lol

bison - 2011-12-22 12:56

claret.badger - 2011-12-22 13:00

Are you talking about this one?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBa...mp;item=200667080373

 

I asked this guy and he replied with

"They were from a pair of Studio Power Hi-Fi speakers. long gone bust. 8 ohms but still efficent enough for great volume. Sounded much better than the stock ones."

 

8 ohms? uh oh

 

Scott

ghettoman - 2011-12-22 18:37

ahh right,i remember studio power,they were nice speakers,the speakers in them were aluminium bass,not standard card speakers,shame they'r not 4ohm..

hmm 8ohm,could be a problem,but he might be lucky,but only time will tell,i think if it does pop,i think the sound i.c is a HA1392..

best person to ask to make sure,is someone like norm,he might know more..

retro - 2011-12-22 18:44

Very nice collection you have there, and I love the way they are displayed, it reminds me of the way they were displayed for sale back in the 80's.

stereo.mad - 2011-12-23 08:43

it was either the look i was trying to create or just my ocd kicking in! lol 

mitchelljames - 2011-12-24 08:38
