[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 218080, member: 52"] Derick, With side by side tweeters, a woofer and midrange sharing the same chamber, the Sony SS-4200 would be a good introduction into the world of 1970's speaker design mistakes best to avoid. They do have one capacitor, an "L"pad tweeter level control, two different inductor coils, and three different types of drivers that may be no good. The original driver components that don't work may not be replaceable with anything close to the same specifications, so repairing them will result in something even worse than they were to start with. I think a better introduction to speakers would be books like Speaker Building 201 by Ray Alden or the more advanced Loudspeaker Design Cookbook 7th Edition by Vance Dickason. Art [/QUOTE]
