JVC PC-R11C Compo Speaker Transplant - May 2017

[Nickeccles]

Not much to say here apart from a massive thanks to Reno who sent me these Panasonic drivers for my JVC Compo

The improvement is massive & transforms the sound beyond expectations

The video reveals all & is best viewed with headphones or a decent 2.1 speaker system minimum!!

I think the original units just get tired over time & a more modern & efficient replacement is so worthwhile

Sounds great

Hell yes! Like most boomboxes, the PC-11 suffers from sub-par speakers. You basically have a whole different boombox now!

Damn that sounds good, really nice tight meaty bass to. I like the look to, doesn't look obviously modified

Agree bobby, once you change the speakers in the pc 11, it's actually a better box than the pc55

I agree , I changed the speakers in mine and it smokes the **** out of the PC 55.

Agree - simple speaker upgrade makes these mega blasters.

I put 3 ohm speakers in mine , I mean these boxes do generate some heat after a while but no problems so far and I crank the shite out of it. They have power to spare when you swap out those stiff ****ing speakers.
