Those things are loud as hell. It is idiotic to assume that it is a wire
gauge prohlem, which is what Dick tried to convey to you in a very
diplomatic manner and with good explanations.

An awesome piece, typical vintage JVC - good sound - just wish it
played a **little* louder.

You need to consider the possibility that it is actually somehow broken,
perhaps start with the proper question: my new old jvc boom box off of ebay
is not loud enough?

note: you have accepted it by starting to "do things" to fix it, imo you
should have tried to negotiate a refund. Last time I looked they still were
available over the counter. Is it something simple like an inch of dirt on
both sides of the speaker membranes or are the bass loudspeakers dead?

I never disagreed with Dick's reasoning. The only thing I had to
point out was that on a boombox you're not going to have 10feet of
wire per speaker on a detachable model - as I stated, maybe 2-3 feet
maximum extension.

I've blown the dirt off everything with compressed air. And yes, the
woofers do indeed work. This thing hardly sounds like a pocket
transistor, which is what it would sound like if the woofers were
dead. In Mono the sound from all sources is well balanced, left-to-
right, and as far as frequency resp goes. In stereo, the effects of
panning on certain songs is readily heard, and there is no drop-out in
frequency resp left to right. I usually leave the EQ flat unless
what I am listening to needs emphasis at certain frequencies.

Again, I have issue with these speaker wires because to me they are no
thicker than the wires going to a Walkman headphone. I suspect they
are "choking" the sound and am willing to undergo replacing them with
one gauge size up. Can't hurt, as long as I watch polarity as Dick
said and use a strong enough kit.
