Testing an EV Electro Voice 15" EVM-15L PRO-LINE Driver after a voice coil repair-1

Just a quick video of an Electro Voice EVM-15L 15" speaker. The voice coil was open circuit so I unbolted and removed the magnet to inspect the voice coil. The voice coil looked fine, although the speaker did have a mold like smell to it so I assume they were in a damp location, maybe a basement or garage or something. After trying to do some checks on the voice coil I found that some of the flat copper that the tinsel leads connect to at the cone junction then the flat copper runs down the top of the coil former to the coil windings, well the flat copper was corroded and rotted away, so I scraped away as much of the correded connection as possibly & resolder a new wire in it's place, it happened at both ends of the voice coil. The voice coil in this speaker is coated with glue so it was hard to carefully get at the points I needed to, but I did and the speaker seemed to work fine after wards, really probably needed a recone though, hopefully it holds up. I had it on a 100W RMS @ 8- Ohm ONKYO amplifier in this video.

hmm kinda curious but theres a couple people in my town using these as subs and i cant figure out why

Technically this model is NOT a subwoofer. It could be considered a woofer / midrange driver. Its frequency range is 60 to 6000 Hz, so it is not meant for subwoofer frequencies. They work as a nice woofer & for bass guitar / upper bass frequencies. In a car playing a higher bass note they probably get fairly loud. I would prefer them for upper bass crossed at around 80hz, vocal / mid, with some high freq horns or soft dome tweeters & Ill bet they sound pretty good. 621ELECTRONICS

rItTxGsXR6, Actually, I repaired it for someone, so it's not mine. I would not mind having a pair of these myself though!

Not sure if anyone will ever see this, but the EVM 15L proline is about the best speaker for a bass guitar that was ever on the market. I don't think they are still in production. The best sound and performance for bass guitar comes from a treated paper type of cone, lo-tech if you will, never a high tech car subwoofer type of speaker, which would sound horrible for a bass guitar, which produces low and high frequencies altogether.

sounds pretty good considering you're playing it free air.
