>>129Yeah it came out well. I also added some speaker terminals to the back, since they just had wires before.
I just moved into a new dorm so I'm in the process of setting up everything for a 5.1 system.
Obviously this isn't how it'll be set up eventually

>>185I have them with the tv now as the front speakers.
Rears are DCM CX-11s, the center is a Bic Venturi center and the sub is some infinity I found for cheap that sounds great. I really like the Oxfords though, especially for listening to records or tapes.

In todays episode of speakers I got from goodwill, I found some Realistic Mach 1's from ~1982. They were only $18 and in good condition I've seen them go for over $500. On these, the cabinets are a little beat up and they're filthy, but the drivers themselves are in fantastic condition. I don't have any of my amps or equipment with me, so I haven't been able to fully test them, only quickly with my friend's small Chinese amp. Even with that, they sounded really impressive. With a lot of clean power, I imagine they'll be the best speakers I've had so far.
They're gigantic, about 65lbs each, and the main woofer is fucking huge around 16".
These speakers seem to have a pretty big following, and there are a couple of mods you can do to them to make them sound even better. I'll probably re-cap the crossover and make sure those dials on the front are working and do a few of the recommended mods. I haven't decided whether I'll keep them or sell them yet.
I may even make some new boxes for them, because a lot of people say these are a little too small for the drivers.
Thank you for reading my blog post

Okay Musican friend here. Finally got around to poking around at my amp/speaker situation.
I own a Behringer Ultrabass BX3000t and a 4x10 BB410 1200W speaker Cabinet.
Knowns:
>Amp powers on fine.
>Amp receives signal from bass
>amp outputs signal on it's line out/effects outputs
>no loose wires/connections on speaker cabinet
>no noticeable loose connections on amp speaker output
theories:
Some asshole at an open mic the amp was "living" at used an instrument cable instead of a speaker cable and has fried either amp or speaker due to the thinness of the cable.
OR
Speaker has blown completely.
I would rather the speaker cabinet is broken, as I could easily pick up a cab to my liking.

>>255Ended up finding a 250W combo amp for $600. And it only weighs 34lbs!!
Now to wait for warm weather and really start taking apart everything on the broken amp/speaker.
