Members 2manband Posted November 3, 2006 Members Share Posted November 3, 2006 I found a pair of Yorkville Elite Subs in my area selling used for a great price. Seller says they're about 5 yrs old, but they look a little older - the jack plate says: "Elite Subwoofer 600Professional Sound Reinforcement Loudspeaker System Manufactured by: Yorkville Sound, LTD Toronto Canada" They have a circuit breaker, XLR in, and 1/4" out jacks on the jack plate.Rated for 600W program, 8 ohms. And have "elite" across the bottom of the front grill in teal blue. They're 2 single driver cabinets - can't be sure from the pic if they're 15's or 18's. What can you guys tell me about these? I should be jumping on them for $150/pair, provided that they work, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flanc Posted November 3, 2006 Members Share Posted November 3, 2006 $150 for the pair....the cabinets are worth that ($75 each). I'd jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members abzurd Posted November 3, 2006 Members Share Posted November 3, 2006 ABSOLUTELY Hey, now I know what the "ES" stood for in the old naming scheme "Elite Sub-woofer". So the model is likely the ES600. Couldn't find a thing on them, but.... - The 600 likely refers to the program rating of the driver. That's a decent driver, especially for $75 a box. - Being the Elite Series they are almost assuredly "real wood" boxes and likely birch, although some were made with some other wood. As mentioned, even if the drivers are shot it's worth $75 for the unloaded box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members abzurd Posted November 3, 2006 Members Share Posted November 3, 2006 Upon further investigation, they may be SW-600. Yorkville has changed the names of their product lines often. If this is the case they could be much older. The SW600 came out in 1985 as part of the original Elite line. 18" RCF driver (L18/851). 50Hz - 100 dB efficiency, 127 max SPL. Tough to really know the age though as I don't know how long there were in production and if they were improved upon while carrying the same model name. Saw a pair for sale for $600 Also found a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 2manband Posted November 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'm pretty sure I'll be buying them - as long as I can fit them in my car. abzurd - I don't think that they're the SW600 model - at least not the one you pictured - the one's I'm considering have a flat (not trapezoidal) front grille and have "elite" printed across the bottom of the grill in big, obnoxious lettering - I'd actually prefer the tasteful little badge shown in your pic, but it's not really an issue. For $150/pair, they could be covered in pink polka dots and it would be fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Singin' Dave Posted November 3, 2006 Members Share Posted November 3, 2006 That sounds like an even better deal than the 2 EV 1810 subs I bought off c-list last spring for $200! If you've got the space to for 'em, Jump at $150/pair!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Picker Posted November 3, 2006 Members Share Posted November 3, 2006 Well, the Yorkville LS608 600 Watt 18" Sub Reg - $549 From AudioEast new. I think that price is Each. So the answer is .... If you could just pick them up and ship them to me, I'll give ya the $150 plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
