Convert Model 8s to Subs?
« on: September 04, 2009, 03:34:10 pm »
I was thinking about replacing the 15" speakers, remove/disonnect the horn and tweeters, and rewire a pair of Model 8 cabs to use as subs.  Has anyone tried this before?

Thanks.

There's one at the bottom of this brochure page from the Sunn Museum

My guess is that you'll also have to seal the port. It's probably tuned pretty high, which wouldn't be good for a sub.
