A friend gave me a old Klipsh sub-woofer. The controls had the knobs broke off etc, but I saved the speaker, which is not very big. It's about a 6 1/2 inch I believe.
Is it worth keeping around, or should I toss it ??
I would think the thing is only good for very low frequency sound.....

I have a small subwoofer also. There were some nice caps and inductors inside. The specs call for a minimum 25 watt load upto 125w. I believe the woofer only works at the higher loads because of inductor design.
Test the speaker by by-passing all upstream electronics. It might do well on an SE amp similar to an early champ or something similar

OK ! I actually measured it today, and the cone is 8 inches. I didn't save the solid state stuff in it's amp. I guess I could plug it into the aux speaker jack on one of my amps & see t it actually works !
