FREE L.30 and mystery JVC boxes

[Jboogie2384]

Got the L30 from eBay for a song! When it came something in the box it came in didn't sound right. Opened it up and I got caught up with another corny @ss packing guy ! The transformer came loose and bounced it's way all the way to my house. I immediately sent the seller a message about his poor packaging. I quickly got a message back from PayPal stating I got my money COMPLETELY returned to me followed by an apology from the seller ! After that I decided to open it up and check to see the damage. It all still looked okay from my end and I decided to plug it in fearing the worst! Nope! It turned on and the speakers slammed me with some serious bass!! I was able to glue the transformer back in and solder a battery connection that got ripped off (possibly by the transformer) and now it's back to 100% Had to also fiddle with the power button because it wouldn't stay on but that's all good now as well. It's gonna need some belts too, but what 20-30 year old radio doesn't now a days huh?

Does anybody know how to make the buttons stay in place? 3 came loose and they just won't stay in there place

Now these bad boys I just couldn't pass up!! I don't even own a KABOOM but after seeing that they where 6 1/2's and 4 ohm I couldn't just let them slide!! Almost every radio I have has this size woofer in it and seeing that these weren't used I scooped them up as well as back up!! Oh and yes they're staying inside the box!!!

Yea this deal worked out greatly in my favor! But the guy didn't want the box back so I just gave it a go thinking the worst and bam here it is. Wish other guys did the respectful thing like this. We'd all be a lot happier.

NO! I figure they'd be worth more sealed up in they're original NOS boxes.

That's AWESOME, it seems sometimes a broken eBay box and really turn into a pretty good deal sometimes if you're able to fix it up. Also, I love the L-30, that thing can really thump even though it only has 6.5 inch speakers, the sound quality is pretty surprising for such a plastic and gimmicky looking box.

Yo Black I actually worked on it and it's now fully functional! And yea your right it does sound pretty good. 6.5's or not these bad boys pound it out with authority! Tape decks fully work now. I'm quite pleased with it. I've been playing with it all day till the lady of the house made me turn it down. :'-(

Next thing you're going to want to do is swap out those red LED's with some new ones that really put out some light!

I wouldn't mind doing that. Let me know which ones are the good ones and I'll do it!
