These bitches (the big ones) were FIVE BUCKS EACH and the smaller ones (they have 8 inch subs instead of 12) were eight bucks each.Goodwill fucking sucks nowadays but at least I can still take advantage of them not wanting giant speakers from the 1980s taking up their floor space.Anyway the DIY point here is that I'm the only person to have ever played various CDs over a set of Nikko DRM-3000s via a JVC KS-RT70 (yes its me from the thread a while ago (I found a cable!)) in a 2019 crossover and the other set of speakers (I might put them in a different vehicle, the Nikkos are destined for the house once I make room for them) are Fisher STV-8626es.And my advice, to (you), is never to buy audio equipment new. I have an entire stack of CD changers and amplifiers and soon I'll have a stack of speakers, I'm going to have Hi-Fi in every room of my house!Burning CDs is great, but cassettes are even easier, just get a ton of cheap ones and tape over them. Hate county music? Tape over it with hatsune miku! Hate rap music? Tape over it with bluegrass! Instructional tapes about how to get into real estate? Dubstep!Yes, you're going to have to replace some belts or gears depending on cassette mechanisms or CD loaders or phono drives, but stop being a baby about it and pick up a damn screwdriver.Though sometimes you do everything right and get two tape mechanisms fully serviced and then the mainboard just refuses to send 14v to one of the motors anymore. Fuck you, Technics!!!!!! Those replacement gears from etsy were expensive!!
Now, one of these four speakers I got happened to have some squashed tweeter dust caps, but I got them sorted out just fine by putting some gorilla tape on them and pulling them back out (don't try to adhere the tape fully, just get it on there enough to pull them out)
