Alon Model 1 8" woofers blown

As a long time Alon/Nola owner including the Alon 1, I wanted to add that as mentioned your best option to retain the famed Alon 1 bass slam and balance is to get the woofers rebuilt/reconed by Miller Sound. In fact I'm fairly certain that Carl uses Miller Sound for his driver rebuild services. Here is the link for Miller Sound:

I have had 2 sets of woofers rebuilt by Miller Sound, one set for my Alon 1's and one set for my Alon Lotus SE mk ll's and both times the quality of rebuild and turn around time were absolutely first rate.

Cheers

Hi Scott, did you get the Alon's back up and running?

I just pulled my pair out of storage and am replacing the woofers as well. I bought the woofers new from Carl about a year ago. I'm also replacing the Low Pass woofer caps from the stock electrolytic to a Mundorf MKP cap. I've done the Carl approved Low Pass cap upgrade on my Nola Vipers and Alon Lotus x-overs and it makes for a nice improvement to the bass agility/clarity.

Cheers

maha88 - The caps in the Alon 1's are Solen which are pretty good. I would look more to replacing the sand cast resistors. I asked Carl if upgrading the Kimber cap in my Alon Lotus SE mk ll tweeter x-overs to a Mundorf SGO and he advised against it as it would shift the balance of the speakers. He did however recommend changing out all the Mundorf MKP caps to the Mundorf MCap Supreme SO in my Nola Viper 1A speakers and to use a MCap SGO in the tweeter circuit which worked out extremely well.
