Topic: Pawn Shop Gear

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I've been searching for the past while for new subwoofers to build another sound system either for a rental unit or if I have multiple bookings on one night. I I've been trolling gear site, and ebay and kijiji constantly, But I finally came across a deal I could not pass up.

2 brand new 15 passive subwoofer cabinets at a pawnshop: for $250.00 CAD - for the pair
They are from a very low-end brand but that's unimportant; it was the cabinets themselves I wanted. I've ordered a pair of drivers from Eminence, and the corresponding crossovers.

Even after the Refurbish, I'll be saving myself about 300.00 over name branded gear.

Sometimes you find a diamond in the rough at the pawn shop!!

I found a Yorkville LS200P Elite Powered Subwoofer for $500 which included the shipping to my front door. :)

The sound is incredible. They still have more on the site I bought it from
 
For a Double 10inch sub those yorkville's are very good
 
Hello and sorry for my English!

I use this to make disco mobile:

And the sound is really beautiful and you should find cheaper I think specialty stores on the net, -)

Seen that I live in Switzerland I order in my country but the power / price / quality is really great!

SO the Speakers arrived Yesterday , I have the Closing shift at the shop tonight But I managed to get one cabinet changed over.
I hooked it up and WOW what a difference.

THis turned out to be a Great project. I now have 2 Very fine 15" subs
Slide show of the RE-furbish will be posted in a couple of days.

I would recommend this to anyone who has budget concerns.

I'm just Cheap.
But I read and learn, and can occasionally turn lead into silver (not quite gold; but close.)
 
Nice score!!!! I've been wanting to go pawnshop shopping to see what I could find but can't pass up the OT shifts at work and to top it off I work 12 hour shifts on nights by the time I get home I'm burned out.... I know that's their is a steal somewhere here in Vegas with how many pawnshops their are here it's like a Starbucks on every Conner just got to get out their and find that diamond....
 
Here's the refurbish:
 
Got to love those happy endings, good job....
