Wow it's good to see you still making videos , I watched you 11 years ago . I have those exact same acoustic audio speakers , I use them for surround sound , good for that background noise , and switched my LLOYDS from the sides to Realistics and Klipsch for the front , polkaudio for center . Got rid of my subs because I didn't need them , what I got packs a punch . Keep up the content , I'll follow 👍🏻
Hey Garrett, I had a set of those speakers in the late 90's. Mine were carpeted and had those typical car hatchback box metal grills over the woofers. It had all the same exact components. I don't know if they were original or modified by someone. They looked nice but sound very..... meh (as you would expect). I still have the L pads and the mid and high speaker grills on the parts shelf. Everything else is history 💨. I'm glad the see you're still at it. These videos never get old. Merry Christmas my friend 🎄🍻
I had those also ages ago, like that, same woofer but they didn't have the control knob, and the tweeter was a horn, grey carpeted, and had the black metal grills, but had the name Acoustic Research on them with the same whack decal lol
@@FuskyTheHusky I owned them literally bought them off a white van but paid like $150 and ended up selling them for about the same. I know em very well!
Love the “KABONG” withe Hanna-Montana g-fiddle! Looked like on the woofers around the voice coils got the cones heat discolored. Great spooking end for WV speakers.
Love these videos! Great to see you back. Saw you put on the defenders for the tweeter test, do you wear hearing protection more often testing these speakers at high volumes? I'm getting increasingly aware of hearing damage after doing a year's course in professional acoustics. It's so worth it to protect your hearing especially when your job is music. Some small foam in-ear plugs are great as you can still hear but they can knock a fair bit of depending on the frequency.
Hey Garret! I recently acquired some empty 15 inch PA bass bins. What’s the best quality PA subwoofer drivers I should go for that don’t break the bank? Thanks man!
Ahh it's hard for us Canadians haha, what I like to do is check my local long and McQuade site every so often for sales, the Pyle and Rockville ones on Amazon are disappointing especially for the prices you end up paying in Canada haha
@@GarretClaridgeMeerkat I was thinking of long & mcquade too. There’s one in my city, I’ll definitely check and see if any good pa subwoofer drivers are on sale from good reputable brands
Hey Garrett! If you read this You're cool! And if you heart this I just want to let you know to try the THX deep note next time to mix things up every THX trailer you can find hell even find some start from wings all the way to Genesis
Ya know, I can't hate on these very much. I am well aware that these speakers were a scam. The components are cheap, and they don't hold a candle to even mid tier speakers from the same era. That said, speakers like these can sound decent, with the right crossovers in them, and with some dampening material. They can certainly sound better than a lot of Bluetooth speakers. Also, these are from the 90's, yet the foam surrounds held up. These cheap scam speakers... have better foam surrounds... than Cerwin Vega's...
I bought mine off market place the casset tape still works but the 5 disc CD changer never worked but they never worked properly on any of them this stereo bumps pretty hard if u ever get a full set up could be used for a party stereo outside pretty clear sounding
When I was a kid I had a pair of black van speakers I got on Craigslist for $20 that had 12 inch woofers. I pissed my parents off plenty with them, they pounded on an old Harmon kardon receiver
if you told me that white van speakers could survive a peavy amp like that I would have bet my whole paycheck against it. Not to mention these are over 20 years old!
I spy some JVC ''Gigatube'' speakers in the back! Are those gonna be victims or were they worth the space? They are afterall just two bandpass subwoofers with mids slapped onto em haha
Garret, sorry if this is a little bit of a personal question, but what happened to all your teeth bud? It's been getting worse and tbh I be worried about you!
Also, what happened to that big ass Peavey amp you had back in the day? You used to blow shit up and electrocute yourself with that thing all the time.
It's interesting to see cheap speakers like this. Not good, as you'd expect, but not absolutely horrible either. Though being the typical white van speakers, I bet they had a ridiculously overpriced MSRP.
Quality destruction of cheap speakers. Nothing can survive the Hannah Montana guitar.
Lmao it’s durable somehow
Glad to see you back. Good work.
he never gets old
His teeth did
@@Philliamspencerdamn
I watched his videos from 10 years ago and yep, he hasn't changed :D
He just gained a lisp somehow
Could watch these videos all day. I love seeing speakers move, trying different frequencies and pushing them to the LIMIT!! oh love your 'axe' btw 🤣🤣
Brother i watch you since i was 11 and now im 15 i will still watch your channel
Another amazing video! Awesome to see the great work, Garrett!

Ha, yours must've been the "Linear Phase 8812" - another prime example of white van speakers!
I finally found the correct name, from a old pic I took of them back in the day, "3312 Acoustic Studio Monitor" @@puciohenzap891
The sad thing is these speakers weren’t the absolute worst and if you got them cheap enough they were just expensive cheap speakers
😂 they were trash! Do some research friend. Some old white van speakers. :)
@@FuskyTheHusky I owned them literally bought them off a white van but paid like $150 and ended up selling them for about the same.
I know em very well!
Bro is gonna destroy amplifiers with full powered speakers💀
Love the videos any videos you do is always a banger 😃
Great to see another awesome video! I just uploaded a speaker blowing vid yesterday now that I have time
LEGEND is back
Hi Garret! Love your videos keep up good work!
Love your videos Garret 👍

oh damn didn't knew this was uploaded today lol

I think I have been away too long... I don't remember Garrett having a lisp...
yeah no teeth anymore, bone issue its brutal lol
How cool is it that TH-cam has a feature for translating into another language in subtitles and you can watch Garrett from different countries!!!
did the floor vibrate at all? they held up well in the end
Merry Christmas Garret!
Amazing as always!
Garret merry Christmas! Nice video. the big little knife was funny part.
Hey Garret! I recently acquired some empty 15 inch PA bass bins. What’s the best quality PA subwoofer drivers I should go for that don’t break the bank? Thanks man!
If you are in the US - Eminence, even the budget lines are wicked, plus easy to find re-cone kits if you f one up haha
Maybe even JBL selenium, most music stores have a selection of raw drivers that go on sale sometimes
@@GarretClaridgeMeerkat thank you for the help! I’m a fellow Canadian btw!

I’ve always hated speakers made from that semi-transparent polypropylene. They look and sound horrible. Real paper cones are so much better.
My Paradigm 9se Mk3s would like a word with you....
@@dumbfishtankswell then I suppose not all poly-cone woofers are the same.
Just wondering, do you still have the CS-800?? 🤔🤔
Oh nice we got the white van special!
What do you think about blowing up Radiotehnika S-90?
I got tonsil altus 140 pair thier big got any recommended amps because my nad 310 dosent have enough power
Still waiting for the JBl destruction
Hey Garrett got a question are the gemini gsm 1545 15s pro audio a good set of speakers
Keep the videos coming enjoy them a lot
Do you have a mixer that has the Roland 808 bass tones? Play some of that through speakers.
17:59 is that an old carbon tetrachloride fire extinguisher?
where early gang at?
Eeeeee!!
Right here. 😎
Yooooo Smashthings1 is hereee!!

i seen the red Panasonic subwoofer i have the full stereo lol keep doing what u do
ahaha I had the chance to get the whole stereo but the sub was priced separate so lul
I bought mine off market place the casset tape still works but the 5 disc CD changer never worked but they never worked properly on any of them this stereo bumps pretty hard if u ever get a full set up could be used for a party stereo outside pretty clear sounding
Did your cat Sing?
and hes back with another banger!
When I was a kid I had a pair of black van speakers I got on Craigslist for $20 that had 12 inch woofers. I pissed my parents off plenty with them, they pounded on an old Harmon kardon receiver
My brooooooooo is back
Nice bro!!
Question Garret, what will you do when you hit 100k subs? Also wonderful video!
Hey there :P I was honestly thinking that special will be all the micro systems ive been hoarding haha, they are really piling up here
BACK WITH THE GOOD OLD PEAVEY TERRITORY BOIS!!!
I have athena as v2 with denon avrx4300h and klispch 5.1 system
Can someone tell me the Song name from the song at 16:07 ?
if you told me that white van speakers could survive a peavy amp like that I would have bet my whole paycheck against it. Not to mention these are over 20 years old!
haha yeah really, but the signal was too clean from the mixer and I had the distortion detector on, after I noticed that things smoked quick
sick brother
I spy some JVC ''Gigatube'' speakers in the back! Are those gonna be victims or were they worth the space? They are afterall just two bandpass subwoofers with mids slapped onto em haha
i like the small PhoneCables inside the Speaker so it doesent add more weight to it.
That was hilarious 😂 great Video 😎
hello, im your fan, i very interested where are you all time?
Ah, acoustic audio, from the creators of wet water
my dad bought me a pair of those when I was a kid, I had them hooked up to a Zenith receiver
But anyway im happy to see youe voice is turning back to normal the time when you were blowing jbl speakers didn't sound too good
Oh no wait it was when you were blowing computer speakers and next a subwoofer if yk what I'm saying lol
Nice
The Tweeter is so funny
Yeah!! Another one!!
Nice!
I had a pair of those. Total junk. I put all different speakers in the boxes, I think Jensens, Sounded much better.
Garret, sorry if this is a little bit of a personal question, but what happened to all your teeth bud? It's been getting worse and tbh I be worried about you!
Also, what happened to that big ass Peavey amp you had back in the day? You used to blow shit up and electrocute yourself with that thing all the time.
Look at this wood box lol

Hell yeah, properly killing crappy speakers with a Peavey amp. Just like old times
