THE SHOP HAS BASS!!! Couldn't stand having no woofers out the garage... so today let's Jerry-rig a makeshift repair to revive these 25 year old tower speakers! Thanks for watching 😃
How are you
90's Canadian Paradigm were made in Canada and are still very desirable
What amp is that? 😁
Soft domes are the way to go, I've got a pair of silk soft dome midranges in my car and silk dome tweeters to go with them and the detail in my vocals and highs are amazing. Glad to see ya get your new garage settled. Can't wait to see ya finish the van and future projects man.
Why are the magnets always so much bigger on house speakers (tweeters)? I they over engineered vs car audio tweeters?
LOVE Paradigm speakers. Been using them since the company was founded. They make ALL components for their speakers.
no they rebrand peerless
I’ve not heard anything about Peerless speakers in Paradigm products. They used to use Vifa tweeters. That was in the 90s. They’ve been making all their parts in house since then. Yeah, the bass on Paradigm speakers, even the little Atoms, sound great.
@@misterbikerman7888 Shut the hell up kid. No they don't. Stop correcting people with bullshit information. I suggest you learn your shit before correcting people. They use Vifa tweeters. Also they're NOT rebranded Peerless. So shut your mouth
Great video brother ! Showing people how to think "outside the box" when it comes to making old speakers good again. Keep up the vids man 💪🏻
They sound Great.
No need to change them out again.
Awesome repair.
😁
Badass! I always appreciate when someone takes the time to repair something "broken" when it clearly still has life left in it, great video!
old paradigms are built better than 90% of the speakers out there now....ive got a pair from the 90s and they are like moving a lead box around they weigh so much....one of the best sounding speakers out there , at any price
The original paradigm monitor series was amazing. I had the 5s in my home theater for years. Great job on the repair. I have moved on to DIY and have Elusive 1099s now. I am going to start scanning craigslist though for old speakers.
Great job bringing those speakers back to life! I've done this countless times with Boston speakers. They typically need a reforming kit for the woofers and they're good to go for another 20 years!
Exo you my man are a legend your attention to detail and though process are absolutely next level well done and keep up the outstanding work
Always a great time watching your Videos EXO been following you for years. I got a W.I.P car audio build with CT sounds. Can’t wait for more Updates on the Van Build! Shop is coming along great
Love it!!! I like to see guys just as enthusiastic about home audio as car audio!!!! I used to do stuff like this all the time!!!!!!
So damn nice channel you got here!! Have spent almost 3 days watching almost every video you have posted!! Have not been in the car stereo life for over 15 years now...but now it´s time to bring that back. You are a true Inspiration for many people!! Really love your way to be!! Great regards from Sweden
My mom bought me those exact speakers for me for Christmas as a teenager in the late 90's and my did the same. The tweets just went out so I swapped out with some other tweets and used the face plate as well. It's crazy that your doing the samething 25 years later. I actually liked those speakers they sounded great and the bass was surprisingly stronge.
Music is key no matter what I do! Great job with taking the time to fix the old exo, never count the old out! I'm with you on the treasure!
Brilliant video as always, love your stuff. Watching your videos gets me all juiced up for when I get started on the sound part of my project car
Now you’ve got great tunes in the shop! No need to fuss about the tweeters- they’re plenty fit for purpose and will you give you great sound while you’re working. Awesome job!
Good to see you again twice in the last couple weeks! Had been getting worried about you good sir! Keep it up exo!
Dude this type of simple video keeps me going, great job!
That's awesome, I did the same thing but with ebay and Klipsch speakers. Bought a pair for $200 one tweeter was out so I replaced it with the same tweeter from parts express for like .99 cents. And hot glued it in place. I love your videos.
Really cool salvage. I use to work for them up here where I live. 2 years inside. SOOO many things to see.. Wish I could have helped you.. (and a few thousand other fans) …. Only a few things left now in my “junk” pile. …. Kudos man!!! Keep up with the work shop!!!
EXO YOU ALWAYS GET A THUMBS UP YOU MAKE ME HAPPY WITH YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE
This is awesome to see some paradigms. I am listing to this video on a set in my living room. I bought these monitor 9”s V2 back in 2002 in a hock shop for $350 and then have playing audio everyday since then. I have them paired with two PS1000 V4 subs and the other 7.2 is also all monitors. Love them. I have never had any problems with them.
Love it!!! Those speakers now sound so crisp. Good job Bruce 👏
EXO, glad ur turnin out videos again bro, missed u while u were gone.
Heck yea!! Music always makes it better to work in the shop
cool video as always Exo thats awesome to get those aged used tower speakers working and sounding great!
I love how excited Exo gets when he hears bass. A TRUE Basshead!!!!!!💪💪💪
Hey brother thanks for all your hard work putting out your knowledge. You have helped me out in a few situations.
Love those old speakers! I run the 9seMKii for my front home theatre and I run the 5seMKi for my rears. Got the 7se for 50$ and the rears from my grandmother. Love these old speakers they really don't make them like they use to!
Bro, great video and even better timing. Hit the big annual neighborhood garage sale today. Bought the first thing I saw. A $300 motorcycle that I should be able to make a grand on. Have a great one.
Love your videos. Been watching you for a while now. And your living my dream my guy
I like all things jerry-rigged. Glad you finally have some shop bass! 8" woofers seem to be underrated and underused, from what ive seen. Cool stuff you got there, Exo!
We all love your vids bro.
We really do.
You're one he'll of a guy
And your mom's videos rock!!!
Awesome man love the content place looks amazing I'm about to do a little build in my girlfriend's new car and seeing your vids gets me motivated to to more audio stuff 😀 just got some new skar audio speakers for my car and they sound great 👍
Bro congrats on the speakers good job they sound amazing 4/8 making all that noise making all them Good vibrations very nice.
awsome job exo.....im a pc builder and gaming computer....love the vids....just got my son a skar 1500.1d amp and 2x memphis stree reference subs...140$ for both..had a 1/2 in thick white cabinet i turned into a sealed box...sounded good halfway up at 2ohm....and now just got him 2 more memphis subs...all 4 ..12s are single 4ohm...we traded a mini pc i had for a kicker ported box and fit all 4 in the trunk of his 4 door corola.....at 1ohm now and amp gain is maybe 60% and it pounds now...i used to be into it and go to competitions and hes up there now!! thanks for all the vids to help!!
very impressive for a gaming computer
Once again great vidéo ! Hello from Paris, France :)
Im a fan of speaker videos like these
This brings me back to when the haters said my old 80 watt system can't be moving anything and probably isn't loud at all, look at them now probably mouths wide open seeing exo making his shop jiggle from 80watts ;) Thanx bruce loved the vid.
i havent watched you for a long time and this? its nice
love home and car audio overlap man, killer
Way to go man! Shop tunes
ive had these exact speakers a couple times, i buy and sell vintage gear. these will sell for about 350- 400 canadian if original drivers and in good shape. love the content bro, been watching for a minute.
I got me a little 12 inch subwoofer for my home surround sound, about 500 watt max 250RMS and a smaller 8 inch subwoofer pushing about 100 watts maybe plus the other satellite speakers hooked to a 1,000 watts receiver and I also hear the bass rattling the door from the outside, GTA V explosions have a lot of bass 🔊
great video, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks exo I enjoy your work
Great video, subscribed! Yes one man's trash isn't always trash lol my neighbors threw out a pair of infinity p162 front speakers , matching center channel and the ps28 sub. All have issues but aren't trash. Now in storage till I can fix and power them properly. 😄 I am surprised with the performance of that little amp! I don't think my Yamaha receiver could do that. Grrr
Got the 8” Xfire woofers under the back seat of my tundra, 6 of them in a row making a total of 4500W RMS, it packs a big punch! So I know what 8” woofers can do and they can go loud! Nice to see some video’s from you again! Can’t wait for the continuation on the truck!
Damn 6 8s at 4500w sounds crazy
I got 2 evl 8s in my bedroom they’re being under powered by a Samsung amp out of a 6.5in enclosure but it allows me to have them connected with the soundbard with Bluetooth and I don’t need it cranked all the way up anyways bc it rattles my whole bedroom at half volume
Always top quality content 🔥
Another great video by exo
Man i wait a long time for you to upload a new vid.🤣❤️
kind of funny to see i had a couple of those back in the day had just the same problem that the tweeter was crackeling like crazy.. but the woofers was insane loved those speakers..
Slamming like a screen door in a Tornado slick repair good stuff.
Back in action!!!
I’m glad to see another audio nerd, especially a basshead playing with bass on cheap speakers 😂 I too play with any speaker even though I love the “best”
Nice job brother!
Paradigm monitor 9 came out sometime in the 90s when I was in high school I remember listening to that exact pair when there was a new Metallica album released and that's what they played at the dealer ...and man those things rock! I was so sad I couldn't afford them
Dude I love paradigm I can tell those are paradigm towers those classic see through woofers love them 😊
In 2020 I bought a pair of old Vega d5s with bad subs. Didn't want to spend for Vega subs and ended up buying some car subs 12" from crutchfield. Man now those D5s sound oh sooo good.
Keep em comin bro
Awesome Ty man going to look on Craigslist and Facebook market for a used set of towers. Been wanting some.
Sounds pretty darn good
A win for the spare bin. Right on yo.
Nice job!
Good info about old speakers Bruice.
I love your energy
sick setup!!
Awesome, I can't wait to put a good stereo in my garage. Hey, you breeze over components with ease and when you're not plugged into the system as close as you are can you do a video on what good builder parts are out there, or what works good for cheap as it's easy to go down the rabbit hole and spend multiple paychecks when something cheap may get you 80%+ of the way there on the cheap. Thanks!
Those sound good love the video
Awesome video! If you do all these camera shots alone and the editing! Great job oncr again!
Cool to see you play around with Paradigm speakers EXO! Did you know they make a subwoofer with 6 10" drivers and 4500 watts RMS?? Frequency response is flat down to 9Hz!! It's called the Paradigm SUB 2.
My uncles work construction and electrical. If I recall correctly, we agreed that the it could take up to 5 years for a building to "settle". So that squeak can work itself out.
Don’t sacrifice the quality of the sound! I hope you decide soon can’t wait to continue to watch the build
Great video
A buddy of mine found 2 old school rubicon amps and a pair of team series orion subs in a custom box and amp rack built together that drops right in to a fast and furious body style eclipse ..paid 300$ made his money back selling one amp ..and now has a piece old school audio history..
Thank you for the excellent video .I have a pair of these I'll have to try this on mine .take 5 🌟
Nice fix!
Looking good bro
Glad to see I’m not the only one with a couple tubs full of loose random speakers.
i still jam to that 100 best bass song on EXO's channel.
Awesome video
Paradigm speakers are defenitley legit bro! ALL Made in CANADA too!
This is what I like to see.
Hi bro. I'm from Indonesian. I'm really like this video. Verry useful
Looks like the mounting plate for the tweeters could easily be re-engineered with a 3D printer giving more flexibility for mounting options. Great video.
Awesome dude
you the best exo
nice job with them tweeties :)
Your garage is built like a concert hall. It has that loud echo effect. You just need 2 18" subwoofers on a huge PA system or a car amp hooked to a battery bank and that whole garage will shake even more!
Pair of stand-mount JBL EON715's + EON718S subbie
I have a set of those. The boxes were done for, so I salvaged all the woofers. i have 4 laying around, in case you need replacements.
the music selection is extremely surprising lol
Very very beautiful, thanks for sharing my friend 👍🤩
fully watched 👌♥️♥️
I have those speakers and had a tweeter blow out. You can buy the newer titanium tweeters, but you have to cut the plastic tabs, and re epoxy them so they fit. Was fairly easy, and sound a tad better.
Heck ya man.. gota have the tunes in the shop
I literally gasped when I saw the thumbnail. I have the exact same set without the covers on directly in front of me lmao
I got my set for free, in perfect working condition, from a customer at work
Heck yeah #SecondSkin on the lights for sure!
Great video exo!!!!!! I run 9 subs in my home system ran off a crown xti 2000. With a marantz 2270 playin the sound quality i swear its rude to my house🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Just a heads up about your garage door you can put stop molding around the edges to help seal the building off a little better I did notice you have quite a bit of light coming through on the top of the door it will also help keep the dust out
Nice job... It sounds great 🤔🤔
I did the same thing with some JBL LX600 towers. I put some P2 10" in mine and it has been slapping for 2 years now... Definately prefer the older box designs that wasn't built for maximum profits when sold.
I’ve had a bass addiction since I was a kid dude and I’ve all kinds of home floor subs and I’ve had these same ones. Mike had lights in them the subs changed colors. There is lights in the box. Or mine was anyway
