Rockola CD Bubbler Sound Questions
Newbie here. I am looking for more bass, but don't know if
I can drop any bass speaker into this unit. It appears to be a 10" bass with two sets of leads going into it. I don't know if this is daisy chained or if there is another bass speaker I am not seeing. The one I see if centered at the bottom of the cabinet when you open up the main door. Has anyone upgraded this speaker, and if so, was there a big difference, or not enough to go through the hassle and money. If there is only one bass speaker, why is there a second set of wires? It has two seperate positive and negative connectors. One on the left side of the speaker, and one on the right. I'd like to get this thing thumping. Thanks for any insight. While I'm thinking about it, are the original speakers of quality, or cheap inexpensive speakers. I have external speakers hooked up and they sound WAAAAAY better than when I have just the juke turned on.

The poor bass is from cabinet design. Rockola does use a good speaker,
so changing it might not improve the bass. Left and right channels are mixed into the single speaker. External speakers are the best answer. They allow the true stereo effect, you can crank them up without rattling the cabinet and you spread the sound evenly around the room. What electronics do you have? Black, red or orange? There have been some updates to the amps. Check Rock-ola's web site. Charlie |

Harry,
Have you checked the EQ setting in the amplifier setup? The right and left main amplifier are made up of LM3886 IC's. These are more than capable of delivering enough thump to the box. They have a rating of 68 watts per channel. The external amplifiers are rated at 120 watts per channel and are made up of two LM3886's in bridge mode. Now on peaks these amplifiers are capable of producing more than double their power rating according to my scope. In my box the dual voice coil low frequency driver has no problem delivering ample natural sounding signal. |
