Scorpion question
Scorpion question
I just got back my 215 d from my son-in-law who had it for a couple years .there were new baskets on the scorpions when I gave it to him and nowthey both are blown. paper looks perfect but voice coils are obviously damaged. I'm wondering what what are the power requirements? I mean what is the minimum wattage I need. I know the maximum but what's the minimum wattage needed to run the speakers. thank you
Re: Scorpion question
i dont think there is a min required wattage... if it fits the situation you are using them for , 1 watt would suffice.
my old renown had 15" scorps in it, they worked fine playing in an apartment (real quiet) and on an open field party with 2-3k people.
so if you are concerned imo there is no way to damage coils by underpowering them.
(other then thinking you can redline a mixer because the amp is rated below what the speaker is)
what probably happened was something was clipped or too low of a freq was given to the 215d and they bounced the coils out.

Re: Scorpion question
And are replacement baskets available? I'd sure go that route.
Re: Scorpion question
Yeah 300 bucks for the two. Alot more than when I replaced them last time.
