Hoping to get some urgent advice - or I should rather say your guys approval
I have found what seems like a good deal for a second hand (pre-loved) Jamo SW505E sub, which is going for R1000. I have done some searching and it has gotten mostly good reviews. The only thing concerning me is how old this model is, think it came out in 2001.
Would a sub woofer deteriorate over time? There are moving parts in the actual speaker so I am sure they must, though is there any way for me to check this? I am going to be trying it out before I buy it so any advice on what to listen out for or what to look for greatly appreciated as usual!
Here are some specs for the subwoofer:
Type - JAMO SW 505E
System - Electronic Subwoofer, Coupled Cavity - Bass Reflex
Woofer - 12" / 305mm
Output - 100W RMS
Sensitivity - Adjustable +/- 12db
Frequency Range - 32 - 150Hz
Cut Off Frequency - 70 ..... 150Hz (Adjustable)
Total Volume - 92 l / 3.2 cu.ft
Weight - 21.5kg
Active subwoofer with 12" long throw woofer and built-in 100 W amplifier.
The woofer with 6-layer voice coil in a Coupled cavity cabinet delivers a very deep, powerful and well-controlled bass reproduction.
Infinitely variable sensitivity, cut-off frequency and phase settings ensure optimum integration with existing equipment as well as trouble-free placement in the room.
The Coupled Cavity cabinet extends the bass range and also functions as an acoustic band-pass filter with complete control over the diaphragm displacements - even at frequencies far below the audible range - so that the sound will never become unclear or muddy. The result is a bass that you can actually feel in your stomach.
The SW 505E really lays a solid foundation for film sound effects and the bass in stereo music. Dimensions (H x W x D): 435 x 435 x 485 mm. 100 W rated output, RMS.
