Dear decentman4you,

Hi, Basically the driver units with the word Toshiba on them from original units are simply passive paper cones (ie, there are no wires attatched to them), the drivers in my unit are impedence matched bass drivers. In a word my unit sounds louder, better and has more bass.

yet another question sent via ebay an ....Dear christine_supermom,

Well then did you still use the original woofer's with
the other speaker's that I guess that you added to this ?
How many electrical driven speakers are in each speaker cabinet
and could you explain how these are wired
from the imput-outside to the speaker's? Please?

I would really like to understand how your sound is better
or could you take a picture of the inside of the speaker cabinet
and show me what modification that you have done? Please? James jpierceiii@aol.com
