Aero City cabs sound differences

Post by chomponooch »

Before buying I've compared two Aero City cabs and and they are slightly different.
First has big revison back door, second has small one.
Both has the same speakers (Toptone) but this second one has terrible sound (only high and medium sounds, no bass).
Could it be wires issue?
or - although they are the same model of speakers - some of them are lower quality?

Thank you

Caps could be bad.

Sounds like the cones on the mid drivers are damaged.

Thanks for answers.
If I had to replace them - should I look for functional Toptones speakers or car speakers with the appropriate dimensions and parameters will be enough?
Do you know any speaker models worth recommending for this cab?
What do you think about solutions with an additional amp?

There is no need for an amp, each Jamma board has its own amp built in. I would take out and check your speakers and try to find some the same size, car speakers will be fine, Jamma is not really high fi and generally mono, you just want some nice volume!
