Hmmmm well I felt the same way about the 777 as some of you guys did. I didn't like the woofers in the SHARP but, I really like the speakers that Lasonic's have. Especially from my L30's. So I combined the two together. I bought some Lasonic woofers and put them in my Graffiti'd 777. When I turned it on I was beaten over the head with some serious BASS! (x4!) The radio changed completely. Now it looked the way it sounded!! Awesome. Anybody with a beater 777 go ahead and give it a shot. You'll see what I'm saying. Same specs and all that. The air these speakers move is amazing. Anybody with some laying around please reach out to me cause I'll take them. Especially the white ones. It's like they're meant to be placed in these SHARPS.

Reli said:Just looking at the 777, you can tell it's wack
I mean, the woofers and subwoofers are the same size.
The subs should be bigger.
And in fact, you really only need one sub anyway (like how the Big Ben does it).
The only reason Sharp designed it like that was for looks.
Technically, there are no "subwoofers" in ANY old school box, just woofers and mid-bass drivers
(which the 777 has both of) 'cause none of 'em are hitting below 20Hz.
Also, two 6" drivers have more surface area than one 8" driver and can push more air...
That said, the problem with the 777 is the same problem with all Sharp boxes: light on bass 'cause their woofers aren't designed to go low.
If these boxes came with Lasonic or Toshiba-like woofers, there'd be MASSIVE improvement that would probably blow a Big Ben out the water!
Part of the problem may also be the super woofer feature itself.

Thank god I thought it was just me.....I frikn love my 777 but really expected it to blow my TRC 935 out of the water but no way.... That 935 just seems like a torquee V8 Just efortless to perform whereas the 777 seems to be a turboed 4 haha fast but way to forced

3 things, Joe.blu_fuz said:My 777 also doesn't have the clear warm sound that my Lasonics, M70, M90, or Conion have.
What does it need to perform better? Don't they have tweeters?
1. Replace the tweeters. I used titanium-domed bullet tweeters from MCM electronics.
2. Replace the super woofers. I got some from MCM that are good down to 38 hz. They clean that muddy lower end up cleaner than a just changed baby's bottom.
3. Yeah, that's right, replace the outer speakers... with co-axial automotive speakers. Mine are Pioneer. Extra tweeters!
Woo Hoo!Link to the project seems to have gone missing over at S2G. I'll try and find a picture.
It's a quick swap. I saved my originals to swap back.
Here's a pic from Stereo2Go...
MANNNN I love it here! You guys all hit the nail on the head! Now I want to look into replacing my 777 speakers... I have to say though that the Lasonic 975 should also go in the 777 category. Although powerful as all hell it always sounded muddy to me. I could never dial in the bass just right.

Sharp GF-9191HB and 9292x are my two favorite Sharps (and practically the same box). I remember when I saw GF-777 and GF-9494 next to GF-9292 on display at the audio store back in the day. I played tapes is all three units and was surprised at how much nicer the 9292 sounded at lower to middle volumes than both of the others.
GF-777 design has never really "done it" for me.
I guess at some point I will need to get my hands on a Lasonic 931, and maybe stop calling them "plastic fantastic" boxes.

I think it's all I'n what your listening to also.
I have 3 777's including a 767 & 2 975's.
I love my 777's for break dance music & old
R&B!! They just seem to be at home reproducing
This music and I must add, I bet 75% alll 777
Owners have tore up woofers!!
Get stock original non tore up woofers and then you
have something!! Or even an upgrade!
They get worn out just like caps do to!
So don't bash your 777 yet!!
I love the super low bass of the 975 but overall
clarity and if you have good speakers the 777's
are so loud and do sound great for the types
Of music I listed!
I prefer Sharp!'

it's all good man , i just don't see a reason too have a carbon copy of every collection here ,the bottom line been there done that . i sold lots of boxes most people would kill for , i regret selling a few, if i regretted selling the m70 it would only be for monetary reasons ,because at the end of the day i can live without the m70 .
