I’ve got 12 18” and 6 tops,

Anyone know how much power they’d need?

Yes, Volt co-ax. Put it this way. The compression driver is hot-melted onto the back of the woofer. The crossover is then hot-melted onto the back of the CD magnet. The heatsink is hot-melted onto the rear of the cabinet. Amp parts are hot-melted, siliconed and screwed onto that at jaunty angles. The power supply components are (seemingly) randomly hot-melted at jaunty angles in various parts of the cabinet. The components are joined together with something resembling one of those bags of Multi-coloured Aldi Tagliatelli.

You can imagine what happens when the CD falls off the back of the woofer and rattles around inside the cabinet like one of those pucks that they use on an air hockey table.

I would've taken pics but I'd already put it back together before anyone came in.


Thank you for that, been an absolute stinker of a day and that's probably the funniest description I've heard in a while.

I found this and thought I would reply with the little information I remember.  

I believe one of the night clubs in Porthcawl had a load of these and one of the DJs wiped them all out and they needed to be re-coned.  

Think they retailed at approx 2/2.5K in the early 2000s for a pair.  

From the best of my knowledge they were 400W per cab, I have used them a few times, an awful lot of top end and they absolutely needed a sub or two, still the sound was never 'thumping' and was all about mid / top.  I could never put my finger on how they really sounded, for me it was a lot of volume, ear shattering mid, less HIFI clarity and more just pure noise.  

SPL on them was insane though, you could tell after a gig that they did something to your ears, moreso than anything else.  They could throw the mid/highs very very well considering.  I know of approx 20 sets sold and only one of them had an issue with the amp so the hot glue may not have been a problem however poor the application!
